Remember how easily Floyd Mayweather beat Canelo?

LOL

 

I made a comment on a separate topic and mentioned how Canelo is a weight bully and I get a reply back from the person wanting me to provide proof that canelo has been bigger than his opponents. Oh boy!!

 

that just means we see the fight differently.
canelo's never been dominated, and here's a much smaller guy who started at super featherweight who did exactly that....imo.

 

Source please.

 

I checked. Showtime had Canelo at 165 and Mayweather at 150.

I think pre fight weigh-in is about a couple of hours before the fight starts so it is not impossible for fighters to add more weight. They do take in a lot of liquid in the build up and during fight's.

Just watching the fight now, the size difference is very noticeable with Floyd Mayweather looking at least a couple of divisions lighter than his opponent.

 

You saying he dominated doesn't mean he dominated. Mayweather had a good performance but it was far from a domination. The first 6 rounds were some of the closest rounds of Floyd's career. If you want to say he dominated, you can only really point to Round 7 and the 2nd half of Round 8 as times where he dominated stretches of the fight. And if you want to play that game, Canelo dominated the 2nd half of round 4, despite Floyd somehow winning this round on all 3 scorecards.

I think you know by now how well versed I am in this match. I know this match inside and out and if you did even the least bit of research to confirm what I'm saying by studying the footage you'd know how accurate I am describing what happened. It seems to me that you are basing your generalizations on a foggy blurry memory of the fight. I bet you haven't even gone back and re-watched the fight in a long time. The showtime commentary was incredibly biased towards Floyd, embellishing everything that happened. People try to label me a fanboy of Canelo for giving him his due in certain fights, but in all seriousness, I'm just keeping it 100 instead of being a fanboy of his opponents and trying to make Canelo look bad.

Again, Canelo lost to Mayweather. At no point Have I tried to argue that he won. But it was FAR from a domination. And anyone who isn't drooling over Floyd who sees the fight for what it is can see that. This isn't hard. Floyd won by landing more jabs, the power punches were very even. Canelo showed a lot of poise in there with Mayweather, but he wasn't good enough on the night to win. There's nothing about this that you need to deny or embellish what happened to make Floyd look better. Floyd is a great fighter, but he did not come anywhere close to dominating Canelo. It's a ridiculous notion on its face given how Canelo has never come close to being dominated by anyone else.

 

Glass chinned Pacquiao hasn't done anything of note in years and you think he beats Canelo? LMFAO. The only thing Pacquiao did was almost get knocked out by Floyd, got beat up and lost 10-2.

 

...which is why the first sentence of my post that you just replied to opened with, "that just means we see the fight differently".
floyd controlled the fight, the result was never in doubt.

 

you need to apply the judgment you made to my POV in the first sentence, and realise it also applies to yours.

 

Saying somebody dominated means nothing. I've provided photographic evidence and specific data points that are contrary to that. The difference is you haven't supported your argument that Floyd dominated. You're just saying he did. I'm actually showing you it wasn't. With photos, by referencing specific things that happened in the fight, etc. And on top of all that, the judges had it close.

 

Prime Canelo would tear Mayweather a new asshоle.
Canelo could just walk him down and beat him up like a 5 dollar crackwhore.
He would take his hat and Floyd wouldn't even dare to say anything.
Canelo with Spanish accent: got your hat!

 

prime for prime. I have seen prime floyd. I doubt he takes a beating like a crackwhore. I doubt Canelo lands as much as he did against a prime floyd. people have short memories.

 

Mayweather did control there fight with his jab jab counter routine that served him so well. To be fair Floyd did have that down to an art, think you definitely have a point there tho. Canelo would walk straight through that jab now and don't think these much room for argument hits harder than prime FM

 

no, you're giving your point of view and i'm giving mine. we don't agree.
this isn't a court case where you "provide photographic evidence". we've both watched the fight - that's it.

and there you go again with the judges again.
116-112, 117-111 does not imply a "close" fight, which it clearly wasn't.

 

The photographic evidence shows that Canelo landed some good shots on Floyd. It doesn't prove how many rounds he won, but it does go against the idea that he didn't land anything on Floyd which is the basis for the idea that Floyd dominated.

If you look at some of those photos, what it shows is that when Floyd tried to get out of the way of some of those punches from Canelo, the shots were still connecting. People tried to pretend like Floyd was dodging all of Canelo's shots. He was rolling with a lot of those punches, but they were still connecting, so even though Floyd was rolling with some of those shots, they were still scoring shots from Canelo.

116-112, 117-111 does imply a close fight, especially vs Mayweather because as you know Mayweather typically doesn't lose that many rounds. Not to mention the 6 rounds Canelo won on the other card. That's a ton of rounds to win vs Mayweather. You realize that was the same exact scores that Maidana got vs Floyd in their first fight. And everyone agrees that Maidana Mayweather 1 was close, many people thought Maidana won that one. So if those scores imply that Maidana Mayweather 1 was close, then the same apples to Canelo Mayweather. As they were the exact same scores! Not only that, but they even had one of the same judges, Dave Moretti scoring both fights, who scored both Mayweather Canelo and Mayweather Maidana 116-112.
