That's what Canelo should have done in the Mayweather fight.....

[TRTboy]

I agree with a lot points here, of course that would have beena good plan for canelo.

But there are so many variants,

Canelo has never fought like that before its not his style at all so he wouldnt be as effective and would get severly countered, brone was very uneffective countering maidanas shots

also people think the shoulder roll its the main part of floyds defense, but in reality his footwork and his head movement are the main part of it, broner fought really flat footed i was surprised by that. I dont think floyd would stop moving against a maidana type of guy, and would pot shot him when he slows down.

Of course i would still watch it haha i am a hardcore fan ill watch anyfight i dont care.

you're right. Canelo is just not the type of fighter. Style wise he was an easy opponent for mayweather. That's why I say maidana would give floyd more problems.

Jump to 31:13, he tried to impose himself and got picked apart.

Hmmm...starting from that point, Canelo didn't throw very many punches.

Whatever approach Floyd were to choose would be the right one. And if he should found himself mistaken, he would adjust very early on and class would be promptly back in session.

lol , not really a discussion type response but pretty safe answer i guess

Maidana would give Mayweather more problems than Canelo did. Mayweather's defense is basically programmed to shut down technical fighters. Texbook fighters that throw 1-2's, guys like marquez and canelo.

Guys like maidana are awkward as hell and unconventional would give mayweather more problems because his shoulder is not designed to defend punches that come from different angles. That's why Floyd Sr. and Jr. himself have been avoiding pac. Pac's punches would short circuit mayweathers defense.

Are we forgetting that Maidana was outboxed by Devon Alexander, and when I say outboxed I mean made to look completely ordinary. Maidana wouldn't give Mayweather more problems than Canelo, he'd get beaten with ease.

People focus so much on the similarities between Mayweather and Broner, that they overlook the fundamental differences that influence how their fights will go down. Mayweather is not flat footed, has a good defence, high boxing IQ etc.; against a fighter like that Maidana would not be given the opportunity to sit down on his punches.

Way too late in the fight. He was already exhausted at the point. Maidana came out guns blazing and rocked Broner in the 1st minute.

Floyd is one of the best at inside fighting today

Alvarez doesn't even fight inside

You may be right. well it would be a good fight i mean if someone would be thrilled and hungry in a preparation for a fight with floyd that would be maidana he would surely try his 100% and make it a cool fight to watch.

Of course the pick would still be Floyd by UD with around 7 to 1 odds

no he's not.. floyd is good at inside but he's no james toney ...offensivewise , broner is better on the inside than floyd...and broner is far from being the best on the inside

[Sake1]

Easier said than done lol, Mayweather has seen it before, Broner was not quite expecting that

But at least give it a shot. Ortiz did more in those few rds than what Canelo did all night. Trying that gameplan vs. a technical, smart, defensive boxer of that caliber? Pffft. Leave that to the ones who have a better chance(Rigo).

floyds so fn sick with it lol if only he had the power to put guys out at this weight, people just don't realize its different watching on tv vs being in there with him and that goes for other fighters as well but its clear you cant just bulldoze Floyd and beat him up if canelo could have he would have! same with every other pressure fighter he has fought, theres plenty of styles for him to fight out there he needs to take them all on
