Why was Mayweather able to stand right in front of Canelo and walk him down?

[downklown]

If Manny with his speed had a tough time hitting Floyd, what chance did Canelo, who outweighed Floyd by 20+ pounds on fight night have? You simply cannot compete with Floyd unless you have speed or a very high punch output. Canelo had neither. This is also why i say GGG would have no chance either. Just too big and slow. Power means nothing if your punches can't land.

I think you're getting the Canelo and Mosley fights confused

He really is.

[_original_]

Floyd didnt beat the shiet out of Shane, in that quiet azz fight Lol. No one made any noise. Floyd beat the snot out of Canelo, threw combinations, leaned on him, pressing him to the ropes.

Everyone seems content with lying about how Floyd was only to do it to Shane, but not able to do it with Canelo.

When against Canelo, he actually wasted little to no time walking him down! The Shane fight is like pitty pat compared to the Canelo fight! The Shane fight showed a glimmer of what Floyd was going to do to Canelo. The Canelo fight was something else!

I don't know what you're talking about, Mosley looked so demoralized the entire fight and was pretty much content with surviving all 12. So much that even Naazim threatened to the stop the fight.

floyd walking canelo down is really what you saw?



for starters, you're all about to get big timed:

i was at that fight. the amount of ground that floyd made canelo cover didn't translate into my second watching of the fight on television. you also can't get an idea of how much an opponent has to turn on television. i've obviously never seen anybody use the ring that well in person. that's floyd freaking mayweather you are talking about.


floyd definitely didn't primarily walk canelo down. he boxed. great boxers can do it from the center of the ring. it only takes one step back to make an opponent miss. it takes fewer steps to the side to turn him when you are close. you have to move more to circle when you're further away.


i actually don't expect a typical floydian response from you in reply to my post, larrbear. some of the floyd stans will simply change the definition of walking a guy down agree with what floyd did. he really didn't walk canelo down, at least not primarily. but he didn't run. he 100% didn't run.


that might have been his last masterclass. i'm watching the replay right now. i have not seen him as sharp since.


i'll also add this:
i thought canelo was drained as heck at 152 lbs. he looked it at the weigh in, wehre he sat down on a chair. a pro athlete does not need a freaking chair

[HardSpar]

Canelo was weight drained.

[FrankieClutch]

He really is.

Yeah he is. The Floyd-Shane fight was an absolute beat down. Floyd threw with bad intentions. Floyd-Canelo was much slower paced and was a sparring session

[FrankieClutch]

Exactly. He's confusing the Shane fight with something else. Floyd was very aggressive in that fight. I wish he fought like that all the time

[Ham Porter]

It's not about Floyd's confidence it's about Canelo's confidence, he's the one who thought he can make 150 a year earlier

He made that quote two years before he fought Mayweather, and everyone knew it was hot air given the fact he failed to make 150 to fight Matthew Hatton.

I watch all of Floyd's fights multiple times.

With or without lube?

He wasnt going to really stop the fight and you already know that, so whats the point of lying? Lol Yea Floyd did humiliate Shane, but he had to warm up, and the fight was so boring! He barely threw any combinations.

The Canelo fight, was zero hesitation from the opening round. Their was no warm up, however their was a period from round 3 to 4, where Floyd started walking through Canelo's punches, and countering every single thing, and capitalizing every mistake! It was amazing!

Floyd walked the shiet out of Canelo like it was nothing Lol. Floyd does pick spots to let you come forward, and spots to press you! But he dont have to move his feet to avoid. He stood in front of him the entire fight and could just budge, roll, tilt, all these small movements, to avoid a shot by inches.

Even when he fought going backwards, he allowed Canelo to be right in front of him. He only moved allot in the last 2 rounds. I dont care if you saw it live, on tv or whatever! He walked df out of Canelo and pushed him back the whole fight!

Allot of people dont want to admit that Floyd was able to do that to someone so big and dangerous. If they admit it, then they are saying things about Floyd that they may not want to admit.

After the fight, Hopkins declared that Floyd was top 3ATG. He just had to be honest, and thats where I place Floyd. But as time went on, Hop allowed everyone to brainwash him with this notion that the throwback fighters are better! So he went back to lying about how Floyd is not half as good as them!
