(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Bill Reimbold: If you watched Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) pulverize Josesito Lopez and WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout, you can’t doubt the power Canelo brings into the ring. It is awesome power wielded by a man in the prime of his athleticism. I’ve watched those fights over and over and can’t get enough.
I’ve also watched most of Floyd Mayweather’s fights and I can tell you I have never watched one twice. He is a bore. A defensive fighter supreme but a boring showman. He hides behind his shoulder, keeping his head just out of reach. He’s made that stance popular. I even watched as Andre Berto futilely attempted to copy the strategy. And here is where Mayweather is vulnerable.
By Dan Ambrose: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) only has to look at how exhausted Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) in his last two fights that went the distance to know of the perfect plan in how to beat the 22-year-old. For some reason, Canelo starts gassing badly by the 5th rounds of his fights and he doesn’t seem capable of fighting with a little of energy.

By allowing the 22-year-old Canelo fight on his undercards, Mayweather has let millions of casual American boxing fans to be exposed to Canelo for the first time.

It’s already shaping up to be a great card with the possible addition of Danny Garcia vs. Lucas Matthysse as the co-main event.

If you think I’m criticizing Saul Alvarez for his upcoming mega fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr, you are absolutely WRONG.

Scott thinks Canelo is a great fighter, but only great against other fighters, not against Mayweather.

Looking at the strengths and weaknesses for both fighters, it is more logical to draw conclusions from some premise, than to make wild conclusions without basis. It is neither here nor there to just claim that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will beat Saul “Canelo” Alvarez or the other way round, without looking at the factors at play. Here, I will try to look at the major ones at play.

(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Dan Ambrose: WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) thinks he’s got Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) pegged in how he fights, and he’s going to be planning his strategy around what he thinks Mayweather is capable of doing at this age. 
(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Babatis Banda: Controversy has been part of this sport for ages. Even in this modern era, controversy still surrounds the sport and it is what makes it tick in part. Great warriors have come and gone, some too soon and some with a bit more perseverance. On the 14th of September two great unbeaten sportsmen meet to slug it off. One is a huge power punching young man while the other is an artist, a purist of the sport.
