    They all agree with me.

    5'5 Filipino guys who wear belts and pull their trousers up really high give Floyd nightmares.

    The 2 pounds is pointless and Floyd would be better off just taking it at 154 to silence the critics. Although to be fair to Floyd he's never really cared much about what the critics had to say as long as it doesn't affect his bottom line.

    Floyd will take Canelo to school.

    it seems like a leverage thing and i wonder how much less, monetarily, alvarez wouldve taken to get the full super lightweight limit. i agree, though. Id have much rather seen the fight at 154

    I think Floyd is going to hit Canelo hard. This will not be a pot shot performance. Canelo will be left bleeding or with swollen eyes.

    Canelo's name is bigger and his image is bigger on this promotional poster as well.

    Easy to see what demographic they are going for.

    The catchweight is some bitch shit, for real. But at least its not 150 or 149 or some bullshit like that.

    I'm not sold on Canelo being able to do the right things against Floyd... I don't believe in his gas tank, I don't believe in his speed... I think he'll move Floyd when he does land, but he won't land a lot, IMO

    Like Neil, I expect a boring fight with Floyd moving a lot and keeping it very basic offensively, jabs and the occasional right hand lead... Floyd by clear cut decision

    Unless Heczar Designs finally scored that massive contract they've been after?

    It's like the good old days where Mickey Walker was forcing better fighters like Tiger Flowers into shorter schedules which suited Walker.

    if Canelo does gas late, it'll be interesting to see if Floyd goes for the kill..

    I doubt it. Don't think Floyd has much confidence in his hands holding up.

    There is no chance Floyd is stopping Canelo, none.

    Not to REED, as Floyd's INSISTENCE of Random Drug Testing was the Black Cloud Hanging Over Pac-Mayweather...

    But that's in the Past...This Time Out, Floyd's REALLY Facing a Young, Hungry LION...Canelo will Be in THE Best Shape of his Life & as MOTIVATED as we've Ever Seen him...If he Gets that Questionable STAMINA in Check, Floyd Could Be SEVERELY CHALLENGED here...

    To Floyd's Credit, this is as LEGIT a Fight as we Could/Should Expect Him to Take, @ the Moment....

    Canelo's Glove Seems to Be Placed NEAR Floyd's Face as Well...Clearly, Canelo's the "House" Guy on this Promotion, Even Though Floyd's the BIGGER Name...

    The SAFE Pick, for Sure...

    While REED Wouldn't BET on it, he's HOPING Canelo's Good Enough To Take Floyd OUT of his Comfort Zone...If he's Even Able to Do it to the Degree Cotto Did, Canelo Can WIN this Fight...

    Realistically I don't think Canelo can win this fight other than a 1 punch KO.

    Like I said, weight is basically his only advantage. He doesn't even have a youthful stamina advantage, and he doesn't even have a range and jab advantage like Oscar did.

    He has weight, and that's really it.

    It's still an interesting fight, as he's fighting a bigger guy in his prime, but stylistically Canelo has nothing to trouble Floyd at all.

    Showtime laid down the law with Floyd after losing money on the Guerrero fight. That's what this is really about.

    Everyone will be rich and happy after this fight.
