By Eric Thomas: WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez thinks Robert Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) will beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) on May 4th if he puts steady pressure on the 36-year-old Floyd and if he is able to outwork him by throwing more punches than him in every round.
It’s obviously said than done because this strategy has been tried by other fighters and it’s always failed, yet it continues to be the plan that many fighters and trainers talk about when explaining how to beat Floyd.
Canelo said to esnewsreporting.com “Be intelligent and use constant pressure. Also, outwork Floyd but with intelligence because Floyd is great at counter-punching. I think with pressure and constant punching Guerrero can win.”
