Why wasn't Canelo able to do what Maidana did in the first Mayweather fight?

Canelo is supposedly the better over all fighter, definitely much more hyped.
Going into the May Vs Canelo fight, I expected that it would look alot like May Vs Maidana 1, with the younger, bigger, fighter pressing the action.
Instead it looked like Canelo was way out of his league.
Was it a simple styles make fights issue, or is Maidana a better overall inside fighter? Maybe better cutting off the ring than Canelo?
Or was Floyd just lacking on the night of May Vs Maidana 1?
Maidana is a completely different fighter, he doesn't try to box or think about it as much, just gets stuck in and goes for it, tries to rough his opponent up and give them a hard time and above all else has absolutely no respect for his opponent. Obviously he comes with a gameplan but his main plan is to rough you up.Comment

I was actually surprised on how easily Maidana was able to back Mayweather into the ropes, I'am talking about fight number II. Anybody that knows boxing could see the adjustments Maidana and his trainer did for fight number II, just sucks that he had a ref that resets fighters the instant they are on the inside.
The maidana that fought Mayweather in the rematch, is far more dangerous.
Trying to equate Maidana to a Rios is ignorance to the highest extent, especially considering how Maidana was actually WBA champion and have a much better resume.
Anyway the Ref wasn't much of a factor in that fight until Maidana started getting dirty in the 2nd half. Maidana had ample amount of time in the fourth round to take Mayweather out without the ref stepping in.
Canelo also would destroy Pacquiao.. Pacquiao is able to be hit and not a counter puncher on Mayweather's level.Comment

I've been trying to tell people.. Maidana will ultimately destroy Pacquiao, the Maidana that fought Floyd both times, is the most dangerous.
