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

[Mooshashi]

He has red hair.

Red pubic hair is what Dirk told me.

I'm not mexican ******. You don't even know who Ayala is yet you're questioning other people's boxing knowledge. Typical ******ed waste of life Floyd fan.

You speaking of Ayala like he's some ATG or special one in a lifetime fighter.. HE's NOT you piss stain. I know you're not based off your screen name, you wish you were Mexican.

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?

Mistake #1. Canelo tried to outbox Floyd

Mistake #2. Canelo doesn't have the experience or skill to handle a calculating opponent that can adjust.

I don't care how many chances Canelo has to beat Floyd, it won't happen. Canelo is too flat-footed and much too dependent on his power at range. Before Canelo throws a punch, he plants firmly!!!! That style will never work against Floyd who is very fluid with his movement. That is how Canelo fights, and it is all wrong against Floyd.

Maidana throws technique and caution to the wind and that style would be difficult for any opponent. His shots are coming from every angle constantly while he's coming forward. Maidana had the size, he had the power and he had the style to give Floyd major problems. Still Floyd found a way to win both fights, once he figured out how to fight him.


And that is a key point, as to why Floyd is so difficult to beat .... He constantly adjusts to his opponents style and takes away their main attributes.

Watch on May 2nd. how quickly Floyd adjusts his style, once he locks-in on Manny's fighting pattern.

Floyd's ability to adjust will ALWAYS be his greatest attribute and why I pick him in almost any fight. It takes a bit of time. But once he downloads you he stops losing rounds and starts taking full control of a fight.

You are an extreme ****head if you believe Maidana and Rios is on the same level. Rios is at a lower weight and doesn't have a jab like Maidana or an awkward style. Maidana moves his head and doesn't telegraph his shots because he throws weird. Rios is predictable. Especially the Rios Manny fought, who just came off a loss. You only hype Rios so Manny resume won't look like crap because you know it is crap.. ****** prick.

Maidana wore pillow gloves for the Floyd fight. Put a couple of asterisks against those fights and move on.

1. Canelo is more of a counterpuncher than a pressure fighter.
2 Floyd held him hostage to a 152 lb zombie catchweight.

Powerlocks are not pillows, what are you talking about? Also if Maidana didn't tamper with his gloves and try to cheat, then he would had been able to wear his gloves.

Just give up. Maidana is 3x better than Rios.

[Sheppirino]

Just different styles. Canelo tries to box more and is not as reckless. Maidana just doesn't give a **** about boxing. He's just there to kick somebodies ass by fighting rough, throwing all kinds of hard different shots and not giving a damn about taking hits. Maidana will give any fighter a hard time win or lose.

Time that you give it up defending that crap. Floyd didn't want Maidana to wear his gloves.

Floyd Mayweather vs Maidana 1 * (Maidana not allowed to wear approved gloves due to Floyd's health concerns)

Floyd Mayweather vs Maidana 2 * (Maidana not allowed to wear approved gloves due to Floyd's health concerns)

[F l i c k e r]

Because Canelo is a bum.

There is a whole thread about it.
