Canelo is too big for Mayweather I wouldn't want to see that fight. It would be like Hopkins VS Haye.
Too much size difference

I will wager you right now that if Mayweather fights Canelo it will do north of 2 million buys easily. This is the fight everyone wants to see now. Hispanics will eat that PPV up. So will everyone else that hate's Mayweather and want to see him lose. This is a fight that both hardcore and casual boxing fans alike can get behind.

I dont think Danny is a better boxer than Matthyse. He may be a bit quicker but Matthysse is pretty technically sound. its what allows him to get his punches off while he lacks foot speed . He fires straight shots and right down the middle and always works the body. Danny has Zero jab and his defense is Suspect.

I really enjoyed all of the fights on Saturday. Floyd proved that he still has his legs and he fought a brilliant fight. As far as the canelo floyd matchup goes Gambeino said it best when he said Floyd has no business fighting at 154 because he's too small. A catchweight fight at 150 would be great but I don't think Floyd would want to do the catchweight thing again.
Critics would argue that Floyd should move up to 154 because he is a title holder at that weight but IMO Floyd has never looked as good as he normally does at 154.

I recorded and enjoyed all the fights. They were very entertaining to me and loved the skills that Mayweath displayed.
Thank you both for the gifs....

I totally agree with you on that. I felt that Love didn't do enough to win.

Out of everyone on that list the only one I can see is Errol Spence. Danny Jacobs probably won't be the same after that KO.

Thurman is my favorite fighter listed.
Decorated amateur career combined with deadly KO power. Seems to have enough personality and charisma to be a "superstar."

Russell Jr is the next Rigondeaux, small and skilled but no one cares. Thurman is too wild, and I think his holes will be exposed shortly.

Please elaborate on these "holes" you speak of.
We may be seeing the same weaknesses in Thurman. Especially with a step up in competition. Also if he can't secure an early KO.

Well for one if you watch his head movement and footwork, there's really not much tact or strategy. It's almost like he's moving just for the sake of moving, but his opponents are too slow or not that skilled so it looks like it's effective. He hardly throws any combinations even against flat footed opponents and he fades in later rounds. However he is fun to watch.

Fortuna is a monster! I'd like to see the kid be a tad more defensively responsible but damn can he bang.

I thought it was his hand. At any rate, injury or not, he should've lost the first fight.
