    9 to 3, 117-111

    I can see 10 to 2 also.
    There was no whitewash, and it most definitely wasn't a draw.

    Mayweather lost a lot of rounds in the latter half simply because he stopped punching.

    Though there were very little effective punches landed by either in the latter half, Canelo simply outhustled Floyd.

    7-5 Mayweather.
    The problem here is you cant give a fighter rounds for landing crisply and effectively in earlier rounds.

    I think Mayeather must have felt the strenghth and power of Canelo that he chose to be more derenseive and take a lot less risks late.

    I'll rewatch any close rounds you think should or could have gone to Canelo. Maybe not all in one sitting if you really think half the fight is like that, but I'll get around to them. I only like debating fights with specifics. So be specific and we can argue who won the particular rounds and how rounds are won in boxing.

    I think you suck balls, Floyd, and even I know that was a schooling. :(

    I honestly didn't give canelo one round at the time so I am very surprised by some of these scorecards, I'm not going to change my mind because canelo is a bully so **** him.

    120-108 Floyd.

    119-109 if you are generous to Canelo

    Haha yes I am still doing it. I am halfway through the fight. Not only am I scoring the fight but I'm giving a complete summary of each round by taking notes on every single punch thrown and if it lands. I should have some time today to go through the rest of the fight.

    I like debating fights with specifics too. I will provide a detailed punch by punch summary for the rounds that were close. It takes a while but it needs to be done. I also found a youtube video like I said of someone who recorded the fight from the crowd to watch it from a 2nd angle. (I find this really helpful to see a fight from multiple angles) Sometimes, and especially in a fight like Floyd vs Canelo with a lot of glancing and partially blocked punches, a punch may look like it lands on one angle but then on another angle you can see it was actually blocked or a miss. I'll try to get this done as soon as possible, because I know you're on the edge of your seat lol. But yeah, I not only want to give my scorecard but I want to have posters like you watch these swing rounds and provide feedback. Then you can literally go through my punch by punch summary and compare it to what you're seeing, and if you disagree with anything you can point out where you see it differently.

    I believe if you are really doing this, you should score the fight through one time in real time. No pause, no slow mo or rewind. Just as it happens like a judge would.

    I will read and watch too, I've already watched it twice and tbh I really struggle to see how it's not Floyd wide, but give me a detailed punch by punch summary and I'll try to look at it as objectively as possible.
