Throwback-Mayweather Canelo Epilogue

[Larry the boss]

I think you do Floyd a disservice by calling it easy, the fight was actually really competitive especially the first 8 rounds. It was one of those fights with really competitive rounds, but one guy wins most of them.

Canelo obviously fought the fight too early and with the wrong strategy. Oscar and GBP probably thought it was worth the risk because of the financial reward and boost in profile win or lose.

But people forget that the Trout fight was close, despite what the judges said, I think that was about his level then. Floyd just a bit too much of a jump in level. I think he was better for the experience though (Trout & Floyd). I think he would have lost to Lara had he not had those fights.

The only guy I see being able to beat him wide like that again is BJS. I don't think any of the other fighters have the style to do it. GGG might beat him, Charlo might beat him, Jacobs might beat him, but not wide like that.

I don't see how the Trout fight was anywhere close to this fight at all man

You misunderstood my point. That fight should have been a precursor to people about Canelo's level. He was outboxed and outworked at times, so did anyone really think he was ready for Floyd? People were hoping the young lion could make the step, but hoping is the operative word in that sentence.

Why has no one else had such an easy time with Canelo?

Didnt lara make it look that easy? Jacobs and saunders do the same joh to that bum as well

hell naw!!!!!! he looked like ass

Exactly my point. Bumnelo didnt know what to do. The only highlight reel they got was that one body shot the whole fight lol

ive never really been that impressed with canelo.. he has heart thats for sure but he doesnt do anything that impresses me..i think he is more of a media hype job. i stand firm in saying ggg beat him. i would say he is a good fighter but not great or special.

Why is beating a weight drained 22 year old Canelo a great win for Floyd, while Loma gets slaughtered for "picking on kids" when he talks about fighting 22 year old Tank Davis?
