If Mayweather and Canelo fought a trilogy at 154 . . .

ellerbe, you can believe whatever you want, you can believe Floyd shut out Canelo but that's not factual, that's your opinion. When push comes to shove Canelo won way more rounds vs Floyd than McGregor did. That's a fact. Wanna know why : 3 + 4 + 6 is more than 3 + 1 + 1.

So believe whatever you want but don't say something is a fact when it isn't and then call me a clown for pointing that out. Canelo won way more rounds than McGregor did . . . period. Not only that but the fight was fought at a much higher level, and wasn't a circus like Floyd McGregor was.

 

I can't believe you're making this argument, this is pretty hilarious. OK Mr Conor won more rounds than Canelo have fun in la la land.

 

Canelo got shut out according to what? You ? Can I Just say somebody shut someone out whenever I feel like it ?

 

Losing 9 rounds to 3, 8 rounds to 4, and 6 rounds to 6 to Floyd Mayweather is not getting humiliated. Making Floyd flinch 35 time from feints is not getting humilated. Fighting Floyd tooth and nail for 12 rounds is not getting humiliated. Do I need to post some gifs showing Canelo highlights vs Floyd for you to come to your senses?

 

I'm just giving you the facts ellerbe. I'm not here to justify Ross's card. Two other respectable judges though did have Canelo winning a lot more than 0 rounds, and that's a fact jack.

When I say Floyd flinched 35 times, I'm not making that up or exaggerating. I literally counted every time Floyd flinched on a Canelo feint and it totaled 35 times. FYI 20 of those times happened in the first 3 rounds. Count them for yourself if you don't believe me.

And here's why I bring this up. Getting someone to flinch doesn't win you rounds. Clean punches generally wins you rounds. But since I'm not debating who won here, I'm challenigng your view that Canelo was humilaiated or schooled, well flinching on that many feints isn't something that somebody schooling someone does. Flinching once or twice is one thing, but flinching that many times on feints thoughout a fight show.

It was like in the Roy Jones Hopkins rematch. At the opening bell, Roy Jones comes out and gives Hopkins a hard feint like he did to James Toney. Hopkins reacted / flinches then laughs it off. Now imagine if Roy Jones made him flinch 34 more times thoughout the fight lol. Literally that's what Canelo did to Floyd.

I'm sorry but that amount of flinching on feints disqualifies you from schooling someone. This is like boxing 101. Only an expert / boxing master with real high level skills can make someone like Floyd Mayweather flinch that many times.

 

It wasn't a complete dominance, not even close.

I want you to watch this youtube clip and listen to what Jalen Rose says here :

(I time stamped it's at about 1 min 54 seconds)

Rose said he was at the Canelo fight vs Mayweather and he says that was the best he ever saw Canelo look. So I'm not alone on how impressed I was with how well Canelo fought Mayweather that night.

 

Jalen said he was at the Mayweather fight and said it was the best he ever saw Canelo look. But I see what you're saying maybe he was describing how good Canelo looked in the GGG remeatch. But still the fact that he brought up the Mayweather fight as a comparison shows that it's comparable. If it was a complete Floyd domination he wouldn't have even brought up the Mayweather fight as a comparison since his performance in the rematch wouldn't even be compared to his "getting shutout" performance vs Floyd. The way he described Canelo Maywather was not of a guy who got shutout but as something comparable to what we saw in the GGG rematch. And yes he had GGG winning the rematch, so what? It was a very close fight. You know ellerbe people value different things, I personally was more impressed with Canelo's performance in the first GGG fight than the 2nd because I like fighters who fight off the backfoot and i was impressed with how Canelo set traps for GGG and all that good stuff. But of course the public loves come forward fighters and naturally gave Canelo more credit in the rematch, as you did, largely because he took the fight to GGG.
