How Floyd Mayweather Schooled Canelo Alvarez

[MegaTronBomb!]

Canelo landed 117 of 526 punches in the fight. There was shyt Floyd was doing there that reminded me of that Argentinian cat.


The shyt I was really impressed by was how Floyd was deciding when to really throw dem strikes. I couldn't tell for the life of me when he was just testing him and when he was suddenly gonna rock him in the face, and neither could Canelo.

You talking about Mathysse?

I always felt that Canelo took the fight way too soon. It was a win-win for him but I never thought that Floyd was taking any risk. Floyd knew to take the fight when he did before Canelo became a monster.

Quite a few folks were picking Alvarez to win that shyt

Quite a few people actually thought Connor could beat Floyd as well. Doesn't change the fact that he or Canelo never had a chance.

I beg to differ. That Russian assassin beat him in the first fight by a country mile.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Floyd took Canelo very serious... probably the first time in a long time I’ve seen Floyd take someone serious from the opening bell...

But Canelo was 22 and still took his beating humbly, saying that Floyd was a great fighter and that he couldn’t catch him... no excuses.

I think that fight and that schooling made Canelo a better fighter that he is now. He took a lot of Floyds defensive style and incorporated it in his own style even more so.

He really didn’t


I had GGG winning but it wasn’t by no mile in anything... second fight proved that when Canelo convincingly beat him... and Canelo was the smaller fighter.

Jumped up to fight Kovalev which is something GGG bytch ass was scared to do. Go up in weight and fight cats bigger than him

Floyd at 22 would’ve beat canelo at 36 or whatever the hell floyd age was at that fight.


No excuses against the GOAT

floyd was serious as fukk. He barely clowned coming into that fight

 

[Tom Foolery]

This was one of the few fights I was worried about Floyd taking because Canelo scared me and his resume since then proves why. Yet Floyd obliterated his offense.

Same here. Canelo was the only fighter I could see beating him at the time.

Turned out to be biggest schooling I've seen.

Floyd's an ATG.

There is no shame for Canelo losing this fight. I think it was a tremendous learning experience for him.
Just about every great fighter suffers a loss in his career...and often they learn more from the losses than the wins.

Best performance from post prison Floydmaybe the best performance from the "Money Mayweather era".

"Pretty Boy Floyd " is a different story tho

This is why I dont understand why people find Floyd "boring"

I get why some people prefer brawlers and knockout artists.....but there is room to appreciate and enjoy the technicians.

Floyd's footwork, head movements, choice of when to attack and evade, ring management, angles among other things are GOAT tier

That takes way too much atrention to detail, casual fans don't have the eye to appreciate the nuances of the sweet science

 

[Guile]

I hope ippo makes a return like canelo from this ass whooping

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Yeah and Floyd was more upset at Oscar than he was Canelo... another reason why he beat Canelo so bad was because Oscar was in Canelos corner talking shyt
