canelo tried to box a master boxer and got beat to the punch on a majority of the exchanges.
Why was Mayweather able to stand right in front of Canelo and walk him down?

The key for Floyd during that fight was to take advantage of Canelo's inability to throw punches without planting his feet. Floyd was shifting his position ever so slightly and just enough after every shot. This slight movement kept Canelo off-balance and every time Canelo tried to follow-up on an opening, it was no longer there. This made him think way too much about what he wanted to do and act too little on what he could do.
Paulie discussed this tactic and used video to demonstrate how effective Floyd used it to keep Canelo off-balance through-out the whole fight.
It should also be noted here, that there aren't too many fighters that could stand that close to Canelo during the fight and not get tagged.
The accuracy was sick during that fight ....

I think Canelo is a very smart fighter,but he tried to match wits with a genius which made him over think...Comment

floyd used the soft jab to handcuff canelo so that any punch that canelo would throw would be seen in full view and countered. in other words he didn't throw the jab to hurt canelo but to bait canelo into opening up. from here, it was a catch 22 situation for nelo. Throw and get countered or don't throw and get hit with the right hand.Comment
