    you keep doing this...referring to THAT one scorecard which was an absolute shocker.
    that fight was a masterclass - i don't know which one you were watching - but for some reason you keep using that dire scorecard to say it ain't so.

    and your final point here, are you actually trying to criticise floyd for "running" because he made canelo miss by a large margin?

    the scores don't "destroy (his) narrative" (referring to the poster you were replying to) if said score was ridiculous.

    He I see your new Avy - amazing how even as Canelo got tagged he still managed to dig a body shot in there perfectly right between the guard.

    You need speed against Canelo and Defence. Floyd had both.

    The only way to make this cuck quieten down is to fact-check him.Don't try and have an in-depth discussion with him. It doesn't work.
    Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat is his thing.

    First shadow cried because 'Canelo was weight drained' - straight after the fight,

    Canelos defence and counter punching definately improved since Floyd. He definitely has been copying Floyd's moves, how he moves away from an opponents punch but still stays close enough to quickly fire a counter punch like he did with BJS

    One of the measly 22% of punches he landed all fight - great work from the camera man.

    I'm not referring to THAT scorecard, I'm referring to all 3 cards which were way closer than any scorecard that could possibly be considered even close to a master class. You'd expect a master class would be 120-108, 119-109 territory. Not 116-112, 117-111, 114-114. Canelo had a wider score vs GGG than any of those cards.

    Floyd avoided that punch at the speed of light. I don't think Floyd ever reacted to anything that fast in his life. Mayweather bounced off those ropes like he was on a pogo stick.

    @Aussie Invader don't do it, you're wasting your time brother.

    Seeing as Shadow wants to throw numbers around again - I always enjoy this bit of data.
    Canelo only landed with 22% of his punches. The lowest in his career - but it wasn't a schooling? :cheer:

    against a shoe-in future great, 116-112 and 117-111 and the manner of the win was a masterclass.
    floyd sat in the pocket for large portions of that fight.

    i really don't know why you're so driven to try and discredit this win.

    I think he showed Pac the respect he deserved because of Pac's freakish straight left Floyd didn't want to risk catching a knockdown as even 40 year old Pac is still dropping guys with that punch so I think Floyd was very wary of that punch as Pac catches a lot of guys going backwards with it I think Floyd studied this in the lead up. Fighting smart and cautious is the best way to beat Pac.

    There was a point in the fight I can't remember which round but Floyd was in control out boxing Canelo but then decided to load up a big overhand right in an attempt to hurt Canelo badly and possibly go for the stoppage but the shot was partially blocked by Canelo and Floyd just went back to his original game plan of out boxing him.

    Never said he ran all night buddy, quite to the contrary, but in that specific moment, responding to the clip that you posted of Canelo punching the ropes, Floyd did in fact take off like he was shot out of a cannon. Also I wouldn't rely on the translator, they hardly ever come close to saying what Canelo actually said en español.

    Canelo accepted the defeat like a man, instead of making excuses, Canelo owned the loss and showed how mature he was. He didn't walk out the ring without giving an interview like GGG did, he didn't cry robbery, he stuck around and showed some class and congratulated Mayweather.
