If he could use some movement he would've fared better against Robert.
On a sidenote, I think Alvarez might have a chance against Floyd... Better than his previous opponents at least...

I think Floyd can take Alvarez, assuming, as always is the case with fighters 33 and up, that they don't get "old" over night. Alvarez doesn't really fight at a hard pace for 3 minutes of every round, he likes to take breaks, which Floyd is an expert at capitalizing on.
Martinez as the best chance to take Floyd, but at the same time that's assuming he isn't now drained by going back down to 154.

Guerrero kind of surprised me with his win. I say either a rematch should be next or Berto rematches Ortiz and Guerrero has a long list of great fight that could be made, i doubt he's going back down in weight since he's pointlessly chasing Floyd...we'll see

If Canelo beat Floyd, it wouldn't shock or surprise me to be honest

Since last year, any fighter who would beat Floyd woulnd't get that much credit IMO, critics would be based more on Floyd's decreasing rather than the rival's merit.
Unless someone could knock Floyd out which I don't see very likely to happen.

Floyd is obviously declining, but he is still the P4P best fighter in the world by a decent margin. Like I said earlier, unless he becomes "old" overnight, which is entirely possible with his little stint in jail where he was unable to do his usual intensive workouts, in my opinion only Sergio Martinez has a good chance at beating him.

Canelo doesnt impose a great pace nor is he that hard to hit... however his combination punching is getting incresingly better... No need to talk about the powere behind his shots that might impress judges..

Mayweather has slowed dwn recently but he's still pretty fast and his accuracy hasn't slipped at all he's still the best p4p in the world but having said that floyd is a better WW than he is jr MW I dnt care wat anyone says tbh I would like to see floyd fight Bradley next or Robert he earned his chance at floyd on Saturday night the only fight that makes sence at 154 now is Martinez and I think it's unrealistic to expect Martinez to move back dwn he's a true MW now when floyd beats him people will say Martinez was weight drained if he beat PAC at WW people will say pacs past it if he beats the ghost people will say he was too small ect ect
