    Fair enough. Out of interest, is this still up?

    You know, I don't think I ever ended up posting it, because I didn't think there was enough interest. But I have it saved somewhere, let me see if I can find it.

    I know I time stamped a bunch of punches from this fan cam :

    which was useful in getting a different angle for some of the punches that were hard to see from the broadcast camera.

    Mayweather had an easy night with Canelo in 2013.

    Canelo has improved since then, but he's still nowhere near Mayweather's level.

    This is a fallacy. Floyd had to work very hard all night. He was dipping down constantly, he was biting on feints, he was being super elusive throughout the fight. Having an easy night doesn't involve bending down below the waist trying to avoid shots as often as he did.

    Here are some screenshots from the fan camera that show how hard Floyd was working, and how Floyd was still getting hit even when he was dipping down below the waist.

    Round 2 - 2:27 left in the round : (at 17:23 in fan cam youtube video)

    To the naked eye in real-time from the broadcast camera, this appeared like Floyd avoided the shot by dipping down. But from the fan cam, you get a different angle of the punch which shows Canelo still managed to tag him on the shoulder / side of head as Floyd was dipping down low.

    Moments later in Round 2, Floyd is seen here dipping down so low that a Canelo jab to the head attempt ends up connecting to Floyd's back.

    This shows how hard Floyd was working to avoid shots, and in many examples despite Floyd's best efforts to evade shots, he was still getting hit.

    Impossible to say, that 23 year old version of Canelo isn't the same fighter. I don't think he would allow himself to be bullied at the negotiating table again, wasn't that fight at 152lbs when Canelo hadn't even made 154lbs for quite some time?

    They capture what you missed and ignore. Screenshots from the fan cam capture what you pretend didn't happen.

    He will be doing the same thang again and school Slownelo Cowbuterol. Lucky for Clenelo Floyd was past his prime. You thangk ginger can still be top of the league when he's 36 with young bucks going after him. There will be a time when he will be the OLD LION hunted down. That's why said he will retire at that age. Floyd was still performing and schooling youngsters like your boy with ease.

    EASY WORK!!
