    Yes I watched the fight , Mw,size and hand speed gave him the edge in that fight ..As far as Canelo his lack of experience ,his flat footiness (if thats a word )were the reasons he lost so one sided to Floyd . Funny but I didn't give either guy a shot against Floyd .For Marquez it was him fighting at welter as well and for Canelo for the reasons I pointed out .

    The fight was nearly fixed when Canelo got a draw on one card. The fix was in, but it didn't go through.

    Threads like this shows you the amount on non-boxing fans there are in this forum. For anyone to be a part of a Boxing Forum yet have absolutely NO respect for the skill and ability of Floyd Mayweather to belive that a "fix' needs to be in place for him to win a fight is just ridiculous. If the MODS truly want to protect the forum from non-boxing idiots....they would close this thread and/or delete it!!! This topic should not even be entertained or even taken seriously.

    It wasn't a fix but shows how undeserving guys with the right promotion gets shot up to the top.

    Hell Floyd should have won UD but instead it was MD. If anything the MD needs to be investigated.

    Floyd is truly something special. he can school a top level fighter so bad, that their fans think the fight is "fixed".

    Alvarez looked like utter **** though. He looked so damn lethargic and slow as a sloth.
    Weightcut don't explain it. Floyd's matrix moves don't explain it.
    Gameplan was non existent. He didn't even try to win.

    Did Saul even give any interviews about the fight? I didn't see any english ones...

    Not saying its a fix but who knows this is boxing right...anything goes

    um, haven't you noticed that Floyd makes mostly all of his opponents look this way? he limits their offence with his defence, counterpunching and accuracy. people think he's featherfisted, yet his opponents all respect his power which is why they don't throw punches out of fear of being countered..

    Pacquiao did the same to Rios, who's usually an all out warrior, yet in front of Pac, who was too quick, he shelled up for most of the fight..

    was that fixed too?

    He didn't leave everything in the ring because his opponent was Mayweather, it wasn't Cotto, Ortiz, Trout, Mathew Hatton or whoever. This was by far the biggest fight of his life and a huge jump from what he was used to.

    Not what I'm saying at all.

    I just know that Canelo underperformed that night, crediting Floyd with everything that happened that night is IMO inaccurate.

    I expected Alvarez to fight the way he did because that's how he fights and that's how he will be forced to fight against Mayweather. It's easy to say he should have gone in all-out face first but he's the one taking the punches and if they didn't sting him he wouldn't have backed off and forced to fight from a distance. Alvarez fought the way he always did, he was never known to being an active fighter in there anyway, he takes his time sometimes and fights in spurts here and there. Mayweather was prepared to not allow him to do that at all.
