Finally, someone with some sense.

I need to watch the fight again. But i am more and more impressed with Floyd.
I cant believe he is being criticised for not beating up Canelo and stopping him. Before the fight, no one believed he could hurt Canelo, and it would be a tough fight. Yet Floyd was hardly touched, and started out as the aggressor.
A blistering attacking style and destruction of an opponent doesnt necessarily make a fighter great. Sometimes its gets fighters hurt, damaged or KTFO.
What floyd does is great. His style isnt about attack. its about ring smarts, precision, focus and adaptability.
I feel just because his style lacks drama, his skills are under appreciated.
The other fighters you mentioned didnt have the same mentality Floyd has. To be smart, and simply out box opponents. Not giving them a chance to score anything clean. They all wanted to go to war and destroy their opponents. Which lead to drama, and them taking punishment. Floyd can dominate without doing that. im not suggesting he is better, but different, and that its not to his detriment as a fighter.

Really??? Really??? Who thought this would be a tough fight? In some bookies Floyd was a 9/1 favourite....9/1 man, what more do you want. Everyone I knew, and I know some trainers and fighters, past and present, said that Floyd would school this kid. Everyone said this fight was a bit too early for Canelo. Everyone said Canelo's stamina was questionable. Everyone said Canelo had maybe, MAYBE, 2 good wins on his resume.

Who thought this was going to be a tough fight? The people selling the fight itself? Yes. The broadcasters? Yes. Drunk latinos? Yes. The educated boxing fan? No. It's as simple as that.

Yall keep saying what Floyd didnt do, he didn't KO Canelo, didnt hurt him , he ran the whole fight blah blah blah, well what the hell did Canelo do to win?.......absolutely nothing. He barely landed anyth. He should be thanking Floyd for that 10-12 mil

Canelo won 3 rounds, 8 and 9 amongst them. These were rounds Floyd took off, he literally dropped his work rate to anaemic levels. Watch the fight against, particularly rounds 8-10, Floyd had almost 0 work.

Yes Floyd outboxed Canelo but was that ever in any doubt? Canelo himself blocked really well throughout the fight. Canelo got in some good shots but he was throwing maybe 3 punches ever 10 minutes LOL...Floyd's work rate wasn't much better but it was slightly cleaner. Other great fighters, throughout history, the creme de le creme, would destroy green, punch shy opponents like Canelo. Floyd was content with sparring him. It reminds me a bit of RJJ, but at least RJJ could rely on superhuman power and flashy combinations.

You've lost your mind. Floyd wasn't 9/1 over Canelo anywhere.

A lot of Floyd fans agreed with me when I scored for Bradley vs Pacquiao, I don't know why they're not agreeing with it now.

Round 8, especially the last 50 seconds was one of Mayweather's best round if I remember correctly.
