Who Wins the Fight? When and How?
In a battle between age and youth, in boxing at least, age rarely comes out looking good. Fighting is a young man's game, and Floyd Mayweather is 36 years old.
But then again, he's Floyd Mayweather. He's the best fighter of his generation, a genius in the ring who has made better fighters than Canelo Alvarez look incredibly foolish in the ring.
He's got this one in the bag.
Mayweather, unanimous decision.
The Moment We’ll Remember the Most Is...?
Mayweather makes good fighters look bad. At some point in the fight, Alvarez is going to miss a lunging punch. Badly. It will be fun to see the air go out of the partisan crowd in that moment.
Who Will Be with Floyd During His Entrance?
Edward Snowden in a wig and fake nose? Kanye and Kim with their baby? The first public appearance of a Sasquatch? Nothing is off the table with Floyd.
Whom Will Floyd Fight Next? When and Where?
No one predicted Floyd would be fighting Canelo, so throw your expectations out the window. Floyd is fighting for his legacy. And the fight that matters most, no matter what happens with Brandon Rios, is Manny Pacquiao next summer at the MGM Grand.
Whom Will Canelo Fight Next? When and Where?
I say throw Canelo right back in with the wolves, but Golden Boy will see it differently. If Ishe Smith wins, I expect to see him sacrificed at the cinnamon altar in Mexico come January.
