Endless sparring! There’s always sparring! Some days you are off other times usually consistent. This exists all throughout boxing. Just like Ward got clipped by Boone, anything can happen. It proves the risk had Floyd rematched Cotto or Canelo for his 6 division accomplishment. Boxing fans seem to forget that when you’re not weight deprived or operate at a more ideal level you hit harder!!! Being weight drained hinders performance. That’s a fact! Canelo had +30% power punch connect rate. Would Canelo be able to do that connect rate at 155-160 against Floyd in 2016, months after he beat Cotto? I would say yes. Even if we assume Canelo would do worse power punch connect rate against Floyd in a Middleweight fight, would Floyd be able to take the different power? Hence risk!
There is no one way to beat Floyd Mayweather.

how did Foreman school Moore?? he was losing until those 2 shots..wtf?
He didn’t school jack. “Schooling” is Foreman vs Moorer. And yes, Pacquiao is a greater fighter than Floyd because he’s still competing at a higher level than Floyd when factoring age. Pac took riskier fights than Floyd, catchweight or not. Pac has immense power because of his build. He is a super version of Rungvisai power operating like an ATG. These little Asians have abnormal calves muscles that load up all the power planted while having short armsComment

No. Floyd has about 10 highlight shots against Canelo. Divide that in 12 rounds and you’d conclude that with just that one shot Floyd won the round because he didn’t have to engage and risk, just coast on the timer. Rounds 9-12 Floyd was on the flee. Rounds 1-3 Canelo was looking great for his age. Granted it wasn’t enough to topple Floyd’s Ring IQ, it was from rounds 4-8 that Floyd had the main groove to edge each round.Comment

Floyd schooled Canelo and won pretty much every round.

ever heard the expression “anything can happen at Heavyweight...one punch.”
Moorer learned a lesson at Heavyweight. Hence schooled. You think Foreman won a Gold medal for looking the same as his mid 40’s performance? Bruh you need coffee ?Comment

Lol. There u go. Round 1 Floyd getting tossed around and tagged. You posted the highlight too. Objectively speaking, a unification fight, you easily give the round the Canelo. I’ve gone over this many times! Look at Canelo’s power punch connect rate at 152lbs. It’s above 30%. Floyd would’ve gotten hurt by Cotto or Canelo at Middleweight. They had the ring IQ to learn the adjustment in the rematch. Floyd knew thisComment

Floyd is a greatly skilled counter puncher, dont expect him to be a hunt you down destroyer thats just such a narrow minded view throwing all individuals in the same basket, they are all different with their very own unique style and methods of winning, Mayweather was great at being Mayweather.
That’s not how history works when contextualizing legends and ATG’s, all whom weren’t just remembered for their performances before 23 years of age.
Floyd doesn’t even have many highlight shots of the Canelo fight from the span of 12 rounds. Floyd couldn’t even walk Pacquiao down. I saw more of Thurman at least risking forward with PAC.
Floyds technical domination of Canelo was a 12 round highlight real, he made Canelo look useless.Comment
