Mayweather-Canelo was a glorified fencing match

[ADP02]

Look Canelo been one of my favorite boxers but what happened was all on him, it would be like me being mad at the Broncos for being so boring while beating The Raiders, they had one job and that is to win.

There are several differences.

- Broncos opponents are scheduled events that are out of Broncos hands.

- Broncos actually will destroy the opponent and not play it safe.

- One is a PPV event while the other can be seen on TV for free.

I agree 100%. He should fight down to his opponents level just to make the fights competitive and give them the chance to win.

Or better than that, pick opponents that Floyd and Ellerbe don't approve of .... you know the riskier fights!

You can't ask a small WW to put a beating on a fighter who really should be fighting at MW. Canelo isn't just big either, he's skilled, counters well, can also fight in the pocket. That said Mayweather spent most of the fight backing him up and fighting him at mid range.

Anyone who pays attention can tell you I'm far from a Mayweather fan. Alvarez was the fight the public wanted to see. You can't pretend otherwise now.

Careful, bo, you wouldn't want people to think you're fair and objective.

BS. Canelo is a fully fledged light middleweight...he rehydrated to 165. Most middleweights rehydrate to 170. He's only weight 10 on fight night once.

To maintain his speed, he still should be fighting at 160.

Your right nobody demanded for that fight.

[Fetta]

Is this serious! People hating on the best boxer of this era cause he boxed in a sport called boxing. SMH!

And who are those opponents supposed to be again? Don't even mention Manny Pacquiao as one of those opponents because that fight is dead and won't happen due to the ego measuring contest between the two promotional companies involved. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that those riskier opponents are none other than, Sergio Martinez, GGG, and even the super middleweight king, Andre Ward. Am i close enough?
