Canelo destroyed Rhodes, who ain't a small light-middle himself.

I remember Floyd arguably losing to Castillo when he moved up and challenged the WBC at 135lb , we're talking 154lb and he is massive at the weight on the night.

He's no baldomir !

Oh aye, tough fight in that he'd get hit back & probably marked up & shaken once or twice, yes, comparatively speaking it's a tough fight, but fuck me you've just said that a kid who beat Ryan Rhodes (no offence meant, lovely fella etc etc) in a competent, unspectacular wearing-down sort of job is more than capable of fighting Floyd bloody Mayweather...

If, if, if Alvarez had sparko'd Ryan in twenty seconds flat or shut him out without Ryan laying a glove on him, & then Alvarez had followed that up by beating the shite out of Cotto & maybe that K9 bloke who has (had? Light-middle is one of those depressing divisions where I can't even be bothered to keep up with who has what, these days) the IBF strap, then maybe I could kinda maybe see where you're coming from. Even if Alvarez had beaten who he's actually beaten but was Vernon Forrest tall & rangy, like, with a classically long powerful left lead & a thunderbolt of a straight right, then yes, I'd give him a chance.

But here on Earth One, I cannot see Alvarez beating Floyd until Floyd's about fifty.

Hopkins is producing good performances, but him and Mayweather are two different people.

Do you honestly think that Mayweather is still at his best/in his prime?

If I may interject: no, he is not in his prime (which he spent with his feet up sipping Cristal & throwing dollar bills at poor people).

However, he does not need to be anywhere near his prime to deal with a one-dimensional, slow, prospect-at-best who has yet to be within a million fvcking miles of a fifty-fifty fight.

Add to the fact that I think Canelo couldn't hit the current version of Floyd with a handful of gravel, mate, & I really cannot imagine what has made you post this other than maybe concussion or DMT.

Canelo is just Cotto of 8 years ago just bigger. Mayweather will pepper him and make him look ponderous.

Mayweather will lose on points, Canelo is the future my good man and Floyd is going to have a rude awakening. He looked beatable in the Oscar fight and that was nearly 5 years ago. Alvarez will walk in the ring with a big weight advantage and it will be a close fight, but he will win.

Btw is Povetkin going to beat a Klitchsko this year?

This won't happen anyway. GBP won't let their cash cow anywhere near Mayweather (a bit like Arum with Pac)

De La Hoya has shared a ring with PBF and I thought Floyd looked beatable that night.

He is certainly beatable. But not by Canelo.

Besides, what's the point in Canelo fighting Mayweather? He has some good opponents in his weight division, and he's a big enough draw on his own to make the $$. I want to see him fight Cotto. And from Mayweather's POV, what does beating Canelo do for his legacy? Not a lot.

What does fighting anyone other than Manny do for his legacy.

Exactly. Except maybe Martinez.

People forget that the next time Floyd enters a boxing ring he'll be 35 years old which is getting on a bit for a fighter like him who relies so much on his reflexes and natural athletic abilities and we all know what happened to RJJ when he hit that age from looking unbeatable just a few years before.

a strong young guy like Alvarez could just catch him on the slide especially if he roughs him up...i actually thought Ortiz had the right gameplan in that respect but was too mentally weak to see it through to the end.
