Fights Floyd on Sept 14.

First Floyd fight I've been actually excited for in years, he actually took the biggest and most challenging fight available since at least Hatton, if not longer than that.

Fighters tend to look old very suddenly, and if Floyd shows up off his game at all, there is a very real chance he looses.

On the other hand, this has the potential to be a career defining moment for Floyd. Canelo is good enough to force Floyd to go on the offensive more than usual, which is entertaining as shit. If Floyd fights like he fought Cotto, this could be one of those fights that define an era.

Stylistically it looks like a decent match, but favors Floyd. Floyd works off a right hand lead a lot of the time, and Canelo leaves his left a little low and turns over his left hooks in a sort of exaggerated way.
