Is Mayweather running scared? Really?

The primary reason for my lack of contribution is the flagrant bias shown on the part of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fans. I know what you are thinking “Another Manny/Floyd article” but just hear me out. I read through the comments and wondered if the people posting them honestly believe what they are saying or are they just being confrontational for the sake of getting a reaction or getting the most responses.

Let me say this first – and with great confidence, I can assume that everyone who has ever posted on this site can relate to me. I do not personally know either one of these fighters. I am not related to, done business with, or a friend of either fighter.

This fight, like many of Floyd Mayweather Jr’s fights, is being touted as the fight where the P4P #1 Mayweather will lose his crown. 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.
