    Canelo is still 3 or 4 years from his prime. I think he'll take 5 rounds at most.

    Canelo is a mixture of Blake and Andy Dalton

    Canelo looked drained at the weigh in.

    Floyd is great and all, but canelo is ready for this. I would be shocked if Floyd comes out with a victory here.

    Canelo looks hungry and love his attitude. Much more determined than that joke ortiz but i gotta respect the champ. Floyd will most likely win.

    Canelo gives hella body punches that can bring may's defense down. Canelo got some power punches, but like all mexicans, his weakness can be his heart. You gotta fight mayweather smart. May specializes in counter defense punching and running back tiring you. It can go either way. Best way for Canelo to win is to throw his armageddon and run away.

    I'm here in Vegas for the weekend. Here, it's like there is only 2 events this weekend... TAMU vs. Bama and the fight. Even the NFL is taking a back seat.

    Canelo hasn't fought any big time guys. He just had to drop down to 152 the day before the fight and you would be shocked if Floyd won?

    Alright Simple Jack.

    Obviously I am making a simplistic reduction here. I am not making a statement with any evidentiary points.

    However, it is false to say that Canelo hasn't fought anybody. If you are looking at purely wins and losses, Canelo faced Austin Trout, who beat Miguel Cotto, who was the best fighter Mayweather has faced on his resume since coming back from retirement.

    Canelo is accurate, he hits hard, he has better footwork than any previous Floyd opponent of recent memory.

    We'll see what happens, but I like Canelo in this fight.

    Austin Trout? Cotto was the better?

    Canelo is so over hyped just like every Mexican fighter.

    This is a no-brainer. Another win for May.

    This is one of the few NFL weekends in which I am looking forward to another sport. While others have noted and i agree that Canelo is a little overrated, I still think it is mayweather's toughest opponent in years. I certainly look forward to watching this one tonight.

    10:30-11:00? Honestly, I wouldn't sleep on the fight before the main event. Majority of people probably don't know Danny Garcia or Lucas Matthysse, but after tonight they will. It's going to be an all action fight and good chance to steal the show.

    Yup. Add NASCAR for me, and slide Breaking Bad all the way up to the #2 spot ahead of everything I'm looking forward to besides this fight.
