Stepping in the ring with Floyd in the first place.

There's nothing Canelo could've done to not get thoroughly outboxed. His physical limitations are quite obvious.

[illmaticfighter]

canelo took no risks and didn't try to bully or corner floyd.

i understand he's not that kinda fighter but guerrero change his style why couldn't nelo?

it was a good fight boring at times, i was disappointed floyd didn't go at him more offensively but i felt nelo showed he has some decent defense.

Floyd does things in the ring people don't even notice,he throws punches away just to land others..his punch percentage could be a lot higher but he throws punches he does not even intend to land to land better harder punches..Floyd will sit on the ropes to make you open up..Canelo tried that with Floyd and ate a couple punches then Floyd backed up making Canelo look foolish

[TOBYLEE1]

Watching Canelo not taking risks looks at times that he really doesn't like to get hit or that he is worried about his chin

[Doctor_Tenma]

When a fighter is superior in just about every way one has to be willing to stick their neck out to get the win, Canelo didn't do that, but he gave a really good effort though.

[mathed]

He didn't pursue effectively at all and didn't cut off the ring. He followed Floyd around and didn't bother to pump out a jab or keep his head moving. As a result, Floyd was able to measure him all fight long with his "throw away jab" which is more of a pawing motion than a punch and then he tags Canelo with the hard jab to Canelo's chin and a straight right.

He should have varied his proximity to Floyd so it would be harder to measure his distance. Instead, he fought a mid-range fight against a faster guy with a longer reach.

What round was it where Canelo's corner was like "Ok, NOW it is time to turn up the pressure" and then Canelo proceeded to get his ass beat that round. Was it the 4th or 5th? Either way that's when **** really hit the fan for him and the frustration set in.

[Evol]

Did nacho also gave a break down when Marquez lost?? Canelo thought he could outbox Floyd and when he found out he couldn't it seems like he just stop trying. Like someone mention even Robert Guerrero was chasing Floyd down getting tag in the process and canelo is suppose to be the bigger guy here. Maybe canelo doesn't have a lot of confident in his chin?

[Sweet Pea 50]

I think Nachos points 1 and 4 where on....errrr... point.

Going into the fight, I thought Canelos best chance of winning was coming out like his ass was on fire, working the body, showing aggression, getting Maytweather in corner, trying to bully him.

I know, easier said then done.

I felt that he had to put money in the bank in the early rounds, and risk getting caught with something big, with a chance the early work would pay dividends in the championship rounds.
