    There has never been a single, solitary post of yours Gander Tasco, that is objective, un-biased or logical.

    This fight was little more than a sparring session for Mayweather.

    he landed some heavy body shots those last rounds. Obviously, you know little about the sport, since all you count are head shots.

    He did ALOT better than JMM:deal

    You know what, I will say this.

    Canelo is steadily improving as a fighter, of that there is no doubt. And really, that's a lot to say.

    His stamina was the best Ive seen of him in this fight, and that's a huge gap in keeping him from the top tier (for me at least)

    And regardless of how I think his future will pan out, if he does continue to improve, then whos to say really just how high the ceiling will be.

    Im just saying that imo, even with some improvements, hes not elite and never will be. But nothing but respect for how he has improved.

    The Canelo from last year would have gotten stopped against Floyd. Of that I have little doubt.

    Alvarez did about as he should have,considering the fighter in front of him.
    Floyd was on point,used the jab great and landed twice as many punches.
    I can't wait to see Garcia vs Floyd, Garcia showed a lot last night, maybe he can give Floyd some trouble.

    No props!!! Lost every round. Marquez did a lot better. If he has any balls at all, then let him fight GGG.

    I thought Canelo should have jabbed with Mayweather more. He really needed to trade jabs and disrupt Mayweather's rhythm. Just wasn't happening, and Mayweather was on his defensive game last night.

    The jab controlled that fight for Floyd. Canelo had no answer for it.

    Gander's generally been one of the more objective members of the "*******" crew, and in this case, his point is certainly valid.

    Even though I couldn't award him any of the early rounds, Canelo did box well, and did look like he belonged in there. He stuck to his game plan and showed a lot of poise. It speaks well of Mayweather that he managed to craft such a lead over a fighter who did perform at a high level.

    Gotta give Canelo credit...and Mayweather credit too.

    Now Canelo is one of my fave up and coming fighters but I did notice this in the early rounds, I was like "what is this falling forward with your punch shi#?" "C'mon Canleo"


    Anyways, props to Floyd. I like the fight, I did wish Canelo was a bit faster but this was a nice boxing match, it was chess.

    Canelo was terrible against Mayweather and it was a completely clueless performance, he actually achieved the impossible and made Guerrero's attempt against Floyd look respectable.

    Doubt Canelo will ever be as popular again especially with Mexicans.
