If Canelo wins 3 rounds against Floyd, I'll be shocked.

The ducking of Canelo started once Mayweather wouldn't agree to the September fight. Floyd verbally agreed with Canelo's camp that in exchange for being on Floyd's Cinco De Mayo card that Floyd would agree to a September 16th weekend fight. Once it came time to put the pen to the paper Floyd backed out of a commitment to fight Canelo in September.
Floyd won't take the fight though. He doesn't give a ahit about boxing fans. He just wants a 0 in the loss column and some big paychecks for fighting people who have no business in the ring with him.
Floyd knows Canelo has the speed and power to knock him out. He can take the plan that Cotto had and actually execute it to a win. Canelo came out against Trout to silence his critics who said he couldn't fight defensively and to show Floyd he was ready to step up to that level.
