First off I give Floyd credit (If I can give him anything) for wanting this fight and making this fight happen. This is the first fight in a very long time where Floyd isn't a clear cut favorite. Floyd's legs are older, some say "Shot" and he does not move around the Ring the way he use to. Floyd will be the smaller guy in all the measurements, Height, Reach, Bicep, Calf, Waist, Reach, Neck and Fist. Floyd is Older than Canelo. Canelo seems to be Stronger and Canelo has a higher knockout percentage than Floyd. all odds seem to be against Floyd.
Canelo can never gain the wisdom that Floyd has in the Ring, even if Canelo fights until he's fifty, he will never scratch the surface of Floyds ring knowledge. Floyd will begin to play mind games as soon as the first press conference begins. Floyd has already started the mind games by demanding that Canelo lose two pounds under the Jr Middleweight limit. Floyd is a master of getting under anothers fighters skin though they rarely admit it. Canelo is young enough to fall for all the trappings that Floyd has in store. This would be a huge disaster for the young Canelo.
I've never been a Floyd fan nor will I pretend to be, if he wins, which I hope he doesn't it's because Canelo is still about three to four fights out before facing Floyd. He may not be ready mentally either, The World is Floyd's stage and there ain't enough room in it for two.
I think you got a point BL.
I don't think Canelo is the favorite man. I bet on boxing all the time, and my book (plus others) have Floyd at around a -250 favorite right now.
That's still a great line IMO and definitely EASY money. I agree about the stamina thing too and say it a lot. Canelo got gassed hardcore in the Trout fight, and that sh*t won't fly against Mayweather.
Even if his stamina was great, I still think Canelo gets schooled. He just doesn't have the overall ability and versatility to beat Floyd.
Power + Size = boxing lesson from Professor Mayweather Jr, or a possible beating so bad the fight gets stopped.
Canelo is odds on favourite? That is easy money! Mayweather will destroy him.
I'm going to put a bet on now before the odds change.
Great, if Canelo is favourite then that's excellent news, now I can put my life-savings on yet another Mayweather victory.
Nothing about gambling is easy about gambling I am surprised that they have made Canelo the favorite. I guess they want all that Mexican money and they are going to get a lot of it. I have Floyd winning by knock out.
Canelo is apparently the favorite as of now. I don't quite think that Canelo is quite ready for Mayweather. After watching his horrible stamina (or whatever it was) against Austin Trout, I've no doubt that Mayweather will beat him.
