    Canelo Couldn't when he is seen by many on here as the next star of boxing and Maidana is seen as just a limited plodder?

    Maybe it's true he was paid off by al

    It does seem suspicious

    Canelo was a drained zombie
    Who already has zero stamina
    Overrated ginger was a huge cherry pick

    Maidana was also a cherry pick
    But Floyd just got old
    And maidana did the right thing
    Got really big, and walked through Floyd's pillow fists

    Easy, because Maidana took Mayweather out of his comfort zone by roughing him up and maintain a high work rate, while Canelo did totally the wrong thing by trying to outbox Floyd which is impossible to do.

    They said the same thing about Tua and he knocked out 4 World Champions. Popular perception is not everything. Some fighters don't care what labels people put on them, they just go out and destroy.

    Alvarez is a boxer and he tried to box with Floyd, which was never going to be successful.

    Maidana is a more aggressive, come-forward fighter who uses intelligent pressure.

    Basically, styles make fights.

    Alvarez had too much respect for Floyd, and elected to play it safe and box. Maidana had no respect for Floyd. none.

    Canelo style can defeat good fighters but not great fighters(in their prime). He is similar to a miguel cotto in the way that they have above average boxing ability and above average stalking ability but lack that "pressure" fighting ability, and that's the style needed to beat a man like Floyd. Chino is a pressure fighter similar to all the guys FLoyd has avoided since 140 and up. Reason being that Floyd didn't hold a size advantage over these pressure fighters anymore like he did and 135 lbs and lower.
