    All the way offense, or all the way defense for Nelo. Just like Ortiz.

    That's why I said it was a display of artificially walking someone down.

    And yes, I give him credit for that, because he has the head movement and foot speed to not get hit back while pursuing, but he wasn't commiting to any exchange.

    That's why I called it artificial.
    I can agree on some of this. Like against Ortiz, he had a tactical advantage. Ortiz is so offensive minded that he cant fight going backwards. Nelo is not necessarily offensive minded, but he likes to box flatfooted and also cant make a foe run into shots. But I do think he committed to some exchanges. Its just that sometimes he punches you with the tip of his gloves for a scoring shot. But he doesnt just potshot like that the whole fight. He does whatever his opponent is going to let him get away with. But with Canelo being so huge, it almost looked like a ciurcus fight to see a man so tiny walking down like that. It looked unreal.

      In relation to the farce of Floyd "fighting" Canelo. He did not fight.

      Pac would at least fight. I think Canelo would be too good for him and too big. Fight probably won't happen
      Quit making up lies. Floyd didnt stay at a distance. He was right in front of him. But he can move his body so much, in the time it takes for Canelo to throw a punch. So it looks like Canelo is fighting a hologram or a cartoon character. Floyd stood right in front of him, and sometimes he jumps back to avoid, or slips, or rolls, or does some small movement to avoid the shot by inches. Canelo was the one who moved backwards when Floyd walked him down. Floyd came forward from the opening round.

          Margarito was slow, washed up, no power, coming off a brutal beat down to Mosley and that bum fight in Mexico he had. He was Pac's punching bag. Nelo is young, in his prime, strong, nice defense. Not saying He would beat Pac, although I kind of think it would be Pac's first time fighting a really dangerous foe. And not dangerous in a bradley way(skills, youth, but no real dangerous power) But real violent way.

            I am one of the few who is telling it like it is. Floyd made few penetrating punches. He missed most of punches or just hit gloves. Because he stayed just far enough away to touch him but not hit with any power. Floyd stood in front of him for short periods of time, when Canelo came forward he quickly flinched or moved. Floyd moved 90% of time. This is the problem with worshipping this guy. People refuse to see the fight as it was. Floyd was the avoider.

              HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Your one of the ones who hate the fact that Floyd walked him down. We all seen the same fight, it looked like the Ortiz fight combined with the JMM fight. You aint telling NAYTHAN like it is LOL.

              Floyd glued his toe right in front of Canelo's toe. If you wanna say that he rarely landed, because of Canelo covering up the entire time I agree on that. Floyd did land on his gloves allot. But he was letting his hands go trying to beat his azz, cornering him against the rope, pushing him back the entire time. When Canelo came forward, Floyd calmly WALKED flatfooted, going backwards, allowing Canelo's punches to hiss by his head so he could still be close enough to land counters and engage with Canelo.

              And guess what; I DONT WORSHIP Floyd. Im not biased for him or against him like you all are. I was SHOCKED by what that little man did offensively. It was LEGENDARY and it was an ATG performance.

                    It will never happen. but if it did...Hand speed would make Canelo look ******. Floyd dusted him off for 12 boring rounds.
                    Manny would beat the living shlt out of him...then stop him.

                      I got Pac in this one. But not by stoppage. Id say 55-45 just because of the size. Pac is much better,but he likes to trade. So he could get caught. Styles makes fights, so you guys don't have to diminish Canelo for the sake of Pac. No way is the cheater or old Oscar as good as Canelo. Just style wise I got Floyd doing better against Canelo, just like style wise Pac would've always did better against Ricky. But I doubt this fight happens. Floyd-Pac shouldn't have to fight bigger guys just because people want them to lose. If they choose to fight GGG, Sergio, or anyone else at 54-60 then fine. But if not they shouldn't get crucified, just because the haters want them to lose. They're both WW's.

                      In every other division in boxing lets take the top 2 fighters out of the equation. Now compare the next 10-15 against the welterweights next 10-15. Broner, Thurman, Bradley, Marquez, DGarcia, Matthysse, Rios, RGuerrero, Provod, Alexander, Khan, Maidana, Karaas, DChavez, ect. these are all at the least good fighters, no bums. But Floyd-Pac get called cherry pickers for fighting in a loaded division. If they're cherry pickers or cowards, what do we call all the other title holders in boxing?
