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

[sparkman0811]

He should have made it a street fight like Chino did instead he settled for a freaking fencing match with Mayweather. Canelo seriously needs a new team if he wants to improve because I don't think that team of his can teach him any more tricks. And the gameplan against mayweather was just the worst ever.

The dude had the strength, size and power advantage over mayweather and absolutely nullified it himself by trying to ****in outbox and outspeed floyd on the outside.

Easier said than done. If you saw Canelo's previous fights, even before he was a big name, you would know that he is way too patient of a fighter. He is not active enough, and is natural boxer/counter puncher. Honestly, I didn't think the boxing with Mayweather was a bad strategy, since this gives Mayweather something he doesn't see often. This style was good since it kept Mayweather stationary and in the center of the ring. So, he stood in the pocket more and there were more exchanges this way. However, Canelo fell into Mayweather's trap and started pressing the action, and mindlessly chased him around the ring. You don't want to play toward his strong suite of good defense and good movement. Yet, Canelo has never been active enough, and that is something you need against Mayweather.

That is why I was never excited about this fight, and knew it was easy pickings for Mayweather. The most succesful fighters against Mayweather have been guys who put pressure, throw many punches, can take a punch, and who don't let him think. Canelo is none of those.

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

Broner is not better than Mayweather on the inside. That's just ******.

Who exactly has Broner ever beaten to make this claim?

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

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.

canelo do be tired than a mfer!! lol boy never had the wind to hang with Floyd. yourre right though gotta come out from the first ding and let it fly!

Very true. Prime Pac really would have been the guy to do it. **** even the pac now is still good because of pac's combinations and experience but prime pac with the killer instinct he showed against cotto would have been the ultimate test for mayweather.

well , we're not exactly comparing resumes are we?...coz if you go that route floyd wins hands down , lol ...

Oh 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.

Floyd doesnt always rely on the shoulder roll. He can fight going backwards, in the pocket, on his toes, flatfooted, off the ropes, and he's noticeably lightfooted. He has gears in his footwork. He can choose to leap a few feet, or fly to the other side of the ring with little to no effort.

Broner is top heavy, and relies solely on his shell. He tries to get out of the way at times, but he really doesnt have the dimensions, and conditioning that Mayweather has. Floyd moves like a hologram. Like his whole body is light, and shapeless. Broner TRIES to move like Floyd. So he doesnt really have the actual movement that Floyd has. If Floyd walked down Canelo, it would be waaay worse for Madaina. And Floyd has gotten stronger ever since he came out of jail and was buff. Broner couldnt even get respect from Marcos. But Floyd was cracking Canelo. Floyd hits waay harder than Broner. I think Marcos will get walked down and beat up by Mayweather. This aint Broner.

makes me wonder how maidana would do against puszy boy floyd
he had a good game plan against a half ass shoulder roll/philly shell, lets see how he does against the real thing. maidanas such a beast i say he has his successes throughout the fight like mosley did nd if floyds lost a step, even the slightest, maidana might rock his world like he did to his son, bronerito lol

Two words, Devon Alexander. And this is coming from a chino fan. He would not beat Floyd, nor would he be competitive in terms of rounds won.

Wow. What do you watch? Broner lack of inside game showed last fight. He didnt know how to throw effective punches on the inside so he kept pushing maidana (got warned 100 damn times ). He does nothing better than floyd
