Did Floyd expose how limited Canelo is?

[daggum]

he looked awful against trout, floyd, and lara. you won't see him fighting anyone who can move ever again.

[Craveman]

Limited in what sense? I think Canelo is great but not on the same level as Mayweather. Who knows... Canelo can improve more in the future.

Are you suggesting that Floyd V Canelo was as close a fight as Garcia V Hererra?

Ahahahahahaha!


Danny landed MORE power shots while Hererra was Jab happy. Hardly the blowout that Floyd put on Canelo.

neither fight was close...

[lets rumble]

before Floyd beat canelo,
canelo was a beast that Floyd wouldn't take a risk against and was ducking !!!!
now canelo is no good and never was ???

No he didn't because Canelo is not limited. He got Mayweather's respect and he praises Canelo as a good champion who will be champion again soon. He also said Canelo was a great puncher. That fight wasn't as one sided as some make it out to be and Canelo won plenty of rounds on all three judge's cards. Being forced to fight at 152 to get the fight probably had a negative effect on his performance. Canelo was a champion at 20 years old and he has wins over Trout and Lara. He has only lost to the great Mayweather and has almost 50 wins at 24 years old. That doesn't sound limited to me.

No it showed how Canelo just isn't a warrior.

Yep, that's why Mexican fans love him because he just isn't a warrior.

Is this a boxing forum or a "leave Canelo alone!" forum?


It's a a valid question and everyone else had something intelligent to say on the subject except for a few douchebags who think it's their job to protect certain fighters from scrutiny/analysis. Is Canelo your cousin?

Homie, it's the same regurgitated question every week. I'm not protecting anyone. I actually answered you question saying Yes, along with 98% of the rest of Floyds opponents.

I guess you'll get the same answers again next week with your same regurgitated question.

Just suprised you haven't compiled enough data to make your mind up on Canelo by asking the same question, just differently, once a week.

Uhhh...thats not why...:lol:

I think Canelo was very naive thinking he could box with Floyd. That was probably where his inexperience showed. The ignorance of youth i suppose, underestimating how good a boxer Mayweather really is. You can forgive Canelo for that but his corner seemed out of their depth and had no solutions or a plan B. I think after 6 rounds he knew he couldn't win and didn't even try to be aggressive because he was tired of being countered.

I don't think Floyd was the first to show that somebody with good boxing skills can give him a lot of trouble. Trout showed that. Lara has shown it since.
