canelo ruined floyd. his next fights he looked terrible against maidana and pac
Cutting back down to 147 ruined Floyd it was obvious how he was clicking on all cylinders and able to physically impose his will on canelo he was a full fledged jmw, that felt strong at that weight and attacked canelo from bell one...He kind of had to linger at 147 for Manny, post canelo Mayweather started looking soft at weighs ins, drinking at weigh ins, had controversy with the IV scandal, and started playing scale games for his day of the fight weigh in
Yeah I think Mayweather clearly won the first half, and obviously the whole fight, but Canelo looked much better when he was trying to box with Floyd. He looked pretty solid defensively in the first half and landed some nice counters. Floyd was still winning the fight but the second half was when he truly took over as Canleo opened up by taking more chances.
Agreed wholeheartedly. I gave Canelo two of the first 6 rounds and the 12th, obviously. Canelo didn't looked overmatched until the second half of the fight. Once Floyd started moving more, Canelo was lost
So Canelo comes in at 153 the fight prior and looked good but 1 more pound and he's an emaciated concentration camp prisoner. Makes sense.
Just 1 pound alone makes all the difference in the world, if you know your boxing.
Oh please, give me a break. That fight was such a joke, with the catchweight and re-hydration clause and whatnot, draining Canelo down to the bone. Anyone can look good against an extremely dehydrated, almost dying opponent. This is basically what Floyd "fought" that night:

I always felt like the minority, but I thought the first 6 rounds were highly competitive and technical. Floyd swept 7-11 and gave Canelo the 12th

I don't think there is any highlights.. One of the least memorable big fights in history
It's not always the tit for tat fights that are memorable, fights in which a particular fighter displayed a ton of skills in a one sided affair do it as well. Mayweather put it all together that night.
Still remember all the predictions that Canelo would be too big and would decapitate Floyd. I think more ppl predicted Floyd would lose to Canelo than Pac.
Was fun for the first 6 rounds, after that, Floyd ran a bit more. Don't know why to be honest, he still had Canelo in the pocket.

I disagree, Floyd put on a defensive show that fight, i appreciate his defense and its exciting to me
Mayweather didn't just beat him. He exposed him.
Exposed him as what...a guy who got beat by the best fighter of this generation? I don't get why people say fighters who aren't at the absolute pinnacle of the sport get "exposed" when they lose to fighters that are.
