I will be rooting for Canelo for sure, but no way would I bet money against Big Mouth Floyd.

I think they both have the same punching speed but I also think Canelo hits harder. Bad thing is I think Canelo is too young and will try to go for the knock out early and that will be his downfall.

icehog3 · 05-30-2013, 10:59 AM

I would pay big money to see Canelo knock Big Mouth on his arse, Jason.

On the other hand, I would wager a 5'er of good cigars on Big Mouth if it came down to it.

Voting with my wallet - no mayweather ppv dollars from me till he fights Manny. Although sadly I think time may have run out on what should have been.

Agreed on the window possibly being shut, I am not sure Manny is the fighter he was a couple years ago....sad that this fight didn't happen then. Canelo may have the best chance at this point, but he will need to fight a super intelligent fight.

GreekGodX · 09-05-2013, 01:38 PM

Canelo vs Mayweather next weekend. I will definitely be watching.

I don't think we will ever see Mayweather vs. Pacquiao now. Looks like the time has passed unless Pacquiao fights someone, wins, and that is enough to bring interest back to this fight.

icehog3 · 09-05-2013, 06:13 PM

I agree with you, Son, I think the time has past.

I know Big Mouth is a big favorite...that being said, Let's Go Canelo!

Lol this thread again? It has run off circled around and came back up more than Mayweather himself during a fight.

Just when you thought you were out....Big Mouth pulled you back in.

racerX · 09-06-2013, 08:49 AM

Man I love boxing but I just can't push the buy button on a big mouth fight. Too much dancing around the ring without enough punching. I watched my DVD of PAC man vs margarito last week and that was a great fight. So Tom and anyone else, let me ask you. Am I missing something by not watching this guy dance around? Do I need to appreciate his boxing skills in another way? Does Canelo actually have a decent chance of winning?

icehog3 · 09-06-2013, 10:30 AM

John, the price for the Big Mouth fight certainly gives me pause. When I bite on his fights, it's just hoping this might be the time he hits the canvas. I know he is an excellent "boxer", but his fights usually leave me cold.

Bar in town is showing it for a $10 cover, I will likely go there to watch rather than pony up $75 to see it at home.

Noodles · 09-06-2013, 02:03 PM

I can't stand Mayweather's personality. I do appreciate his boxing skills though.

GreekGodX · 09-12-2013, 06:18 AM

John there probably is somewhere near you that plays it or invite 10 friends over and split it

icehog3 · 09-14-2013, 03:12 PM

Broke down and paid the scratch for the fights, that Garcia - Mathisse fight might end up being the sleeper.

Going to fire up an Edmundo Dantes for the headliner in hopes that Canelo pulls off the upset.

GreekGodX · 09-14-2013, 11:59 PM

Watched the fight with a brother and some good cigars. Witnessed Floyd tactically breakdown another fighter. The Money Team!!

icehog3 · 09-15-2013, 09:05 AM

Wasn't even close, I scored it 11-1 Floyd. Whoever convinced Canelo that he should "box" and not try to brawl early gave him some rotten advice.

No joke. Hated that the main event didn't start until almost midnight. I was fighting sleep by then and didn't get to fully enjoy it.
