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

[creekrat77]

Canelo had too much respect for Mayweather and was overconfident in his own boxing ability. Canelo had speed and a persistent offense. One problem though Canelo is a slow flat footed fighter chasing Floyd in one straight line. Not only that but he throws the exact same punches over and over. Floyd caught on quick and with his defensive ability attacked Canelo's vulnerable points since he was already the aggressor facing a counter puncher. Canelo ended up gassing and still followed his futile strategy as Floyd just had fun and made it even more of a wipe out. Canelo has a devastating offense if you are not able to disarm it. Someone the likes of Floyd could do it easily

This.....dumbass n*gga tried to outbox Floyd fcked up his own rhythm and gat dominated and embarrassed

It's not that simple, it's because Maidana has a better jab he steps in with and an overhand right Mayweather couldn't roll because of it's awkwardness. Then couple that in with Maidana's dirtiness and there you have it.

This ^^^^ Pac throws from multiple lateral angles but in a straight line. Pac isn't as big, doesn't fight dirty, nor does he throw big overhand punches. Pac fights completely different from any of the fighters Floyd has had so called problems with.

Has to be this? Cause that Canelo would kick the **** out of any concievable Maidana, imo.

[meme_man]

Because he is a overrated diva.

Because he's not a bullrush fighter, and Mayweather "didn't fight that way for the fans" against Nelo. Nelo would have possible KOd him if Mayweather "would have fought that way for the fans."

Floyd walked Canelo down and had zero respect for him or his power. He shoulder rolled the shiat out of him. Against Marcos he underestimated him and looked slow. If Marcos fought the Floyd who faced Nelo, he would be stopped in seven rounds.

Exactly, Pacquiao spends his time each round making his number one priority attacking and throwing in bunches. If he can't land or now a'days feels vulnerable to coming in straight he will slip in and out, side to side finding openings everywhere. Floyd is either going to have to be extremely sharp attacking every little opening possible while keeping himself safe, simultaneously resetting constantly or control distance and plant his feet being the aggressor
