Why Canelo Tried..

Plan A was to try and box Mayweather at mid-range. It didn't work. Where was plan B, plan C, etc? I know pressure isn't Alvarez natural game, but his advantages over Mayweather were size and probably strength. At no point did he make a concerted effort to capitalise on that.
Others will have seen a lot more of Alvarez than me, but it looked to me like he had cement in his boots. His movement was poor. I'm not sure if he is normally like that.

After 2 or 3 rounds of trying to box Floyd, it should have sunk in that wasn't go to work so time to change the plan. THe new plan should have been to make it a war. There is nothing wrong with fighting like Marvin haggler did to Hearns.
It might not feel natural to Canelo to do that, but you have to adapt sometimes. Canelo punches real good so im sure it could have worked.
But Canelo said he did all he could so you cant ask for more really, but if he watches the tape he might feel differently.
Rematch perhaps.

During All access Canelo and his team would say stuff like I'm just as fast and my ring intelligence is underrated. Leading everyone to believe he would try to outbox Mayweather in the fight.. I just thought it was all rhetoric.
At the end of the day, if he got an undeserved draw with that fight plan, He actually could of won the fight if he sold out with a mauling style. I think he needs a new trainer!

The only way to beat Mayweather is to pressure him for 12 rounds and not stop. Put Leo Santa Cruz cardio and style into Canelo's body.
Non stop pressure for 12 rounds and force Mayweather to fight. Everyone falls into his trap and boxes.
There's a reason Mayweather avoided a prime Marg 5 years ago at 147, he knows that is the toughest style to deal with. Not saying Marg would have won, he just like to slow the fight down to his pace.
I don't understand why why people think he would fair better throwing the kitchen sink at Mayweather, when he is simply too good defensively for an inexperienced pressure fighter who's merely adapting the style for this fight. Not saying this is what you meant, but others think that he should of went all out every round.
