It has swayed many of the boxing media and fans, many of whom dislike Floyd, that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, the hype couldn’t be further away from the reality. The truth is, to the eye of the true boxing fan, Canelo Alvarez does not stand a chance against the wizard that is Floyd Mayweather. He has not a single, noticeable attribute that could give Floyd a problem.
The Canelo fans and the media are under the illusion that his size will play a factor in the fight, they are absolutely right that it will – but to Floyd’s advantage. Floyd will take advantage of Canelo’s size by simply running around him and not being in harm’s way.
