I like how people either say someone "had the wrong gameplan" against Floyd, or they just quit/stopped doing what worked. In reality, Floyd is the master at adapting.
I seriously doubt the result would have been any different if Canelo chose to brawl, because as the Lara fight showed, he's terrible at cutting off the ring, and is flat-footed.
For shame. How dare Floyd fight Guerrero who had not lost in 8 years and was WBC champion and just came off one great fight against a still dangerous fighter in Berto?
What was Floyd thinking in fighting Baldomir (who people said he would not fight and was ducking at the time), a guy who had not lost in 8 years and was the lineal champion at the time?
Taken all together his career is great but he is guilty of picking the easiest fight at the right time more than anyone else in history. Certainly an all time great but there are probably 8 welterweights that I would say would beat him head to head throughout history and more than 10 that I would say were "greater".
Like the top 10 ranked welterweight champions such as Rios and Algieri?
