Floyd Mayweather v. Canelo Alvarez 9/14/2013 MGM Grand

[DTX3]

My heart is with Canelo in this fight but my money is on Mayweather. Alvarez is too green at this stage of his career for a fight like this.

i hear you on that.....BUT if canelo takes some chances, imposes his will, somehow takes floyd out of his predictable game plan, then who knows.

No doubt. Canelo has the power to take it to Floyd, I'm just worried that he'll gas out in the later rounds. But if there's ANYONE who will give Mayweather the fight of his career, it's Canelo imo.

cotto was able to do this, to some degree...or just maybe floyd didn't stick with his predictable game plan that night. i thought i remembered floyd saying, "i wanna give the fans fights they wanna see from now on...", but he played it VERY safe with guerrero, imo. i see him doing the same exact thing with canelo. although canelo didn't look his best against trout, IF he brings his "A" game against floyd, steps up his defense and does not gas out in the later rounds, then he's got a good shot.

He has a decent shot. The odds are shortening up a bit. Floyd will be a 5-2 or 2-1 favorite by fight time.....probably.

Outside of a possible fight with Pacman, this will be the best odds we've seen in a while if you wanna back Money.

Has Floyd ever fought any higher then 147???? 159 will NEVER HAPPEN!! Adrien Broner fight has me interested.

I was being facetious, because that matchup would never happen and probably result in a Mayweather loss. Golovkin is a hard hitting bad dude and despite his Russian roots (Kazakhstan) he is being embraced by HBO.

He fights Matthew Macklin in 2 weeks.
