    Canelo called him out and said that Floyd was killing boxing.
    So technically Canelo ruffled his feathers.

    Floyd was in better condition and performed at a far higher level vs Canelo than he did vs Cotto. That explains that. Look how ripped in the abs Floyd was vs Canelo. You didn't see him that jacked up vs Cotto, Maidana, etc.

    Your distribution of the rounds of Floyd Canelo are somewhat accurate, though you're exaggerating when you say it was a very easy fight for Floyd. Floyd had a much easier time vs Marquez, Mosley (aside from round 2), Guerrero, one-armed Pacquiao etc than he did with Canelo. In Floyd Canelo Round 7 was the only real clear no-doubt-about-it round for Floyd. There were maybe 4 or 5 other rounds that were "close but clear' Floyd rounds. Then there were about 6 or 7 rounds that were extremely close and could be argued either way.

    You're right in the sense that there wasn't a single no-doubt-about-it Canelo round which made it tough to score, but there was only a single no-doubt-about-it Floyd round (round 7) and the other 11 rounds were anywhere from relatively close to extremely close, making it a very close fight and hard to score.

    If you think this was Floyd's easiest fight you're dumber than I thought.

    Irrelevant. I'm not arguing Canelo won. I'm stating that most of the rounds were close, Mayweather seemed very cautious, he was falling for feints more than I have ever seen him, and didn't commit to to his punches as it seemed he was content doing just enough to win the rounds, unwilling to take any risks like he did against Miguel Cotto or Manny Pacquiao where he seemed 100% sure of himself.

    Easy Floyd fights where he was relaxed and in full control were Juan Manuel Marquez, Robert Guerrero, Diego Corrales, Carlos Baldomir, Shane Mosley.

    Canelo just like Floyd, Manny and everyone else at the top level take steroids/PED's. They all do, Canelo isn't anymore of a saint then the rest of them.

    Not a big Money May fan but this is a hilariously awesome dig at Canelo, Oscar and McGregor in one, make that 2 swoops :lol:

    It's because Floyd is only good at self promoting, he makes everything about himself which is one of the reasons him and Tank keep having falling outs. Davis has the style to be a star but he's barely promoted, not like he should be. Floyd simply has to be at the center of attention or at least try to be, which is what these posts by him were about along with meeting Pacquiao in Japan right around Canelo vs Golovkin 2. Meanwhile his fighters are screaming for fights and to be more active, but Floyd can't be assed to bother with that lol.

    It's funny, because I remember him crying that it had to be a C-W or they'd be no fight.

    so what. Canelo has given boxing history in someway more than Floyd did. He gave them a good fight to watch.
