Let's rewatch Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo Alvarez

VaultBoy said:
Canelo- one of the best boxers of our generation, heavy hands, great offense and this is what happened to him

Floyd also was more active during this fight taking it to Canelo than in other fights

You're done Conor. It will be over before you know it

What was canelo 23 years old? Floyd made the right decision to fight him when he did. I don't think Floyd beats him today, and maybe not even 2 years ago.

It's funny how some people get excited about the fact that one athlete can destroy another one. At least Conor has the guts to step in the ring. Let GGG or Canelo fight inside a cage...both would get wrecked by guys out of the Top 10. Conor will win inside a cage, boxers will win inside a ring. So why should we get a boner about that?

Conor has nothing to lose in this fight. He is risking absolutely, besides maybe his health.

.he said don't be surprised for Floyd to "carry" Conor for a bit, because a show has to be put on for $$$$ in the future

Why the fuck would Floyd care about this money being made in the future? He is walking away after

If Canelo or GGG could make 100 million to step in the Octagon, you just might see them do that. Canelo would be taking a MASSIVE pay cut to fight in the UFC. Conor is taking a MASSIVE pay increase. Its not even a comparable situation. Conor doesn't have guts for taking a fight that will quadruple his net worth. Fuck, any sherdoger would step in the ring for 100 million

Canelo was gun shy, plus he's a bit overrated.

If anything he is underrated. He is the more proven, younger, more skilled Boxer, but everyone seems to think GGG will KO him

I never saw the hype with Canelo. He's so flat footed, stuck in a routine, relies on power.

By never understood the hype do you mean never understood Boxing? Relies on power? Fuck off! The guy is one of the most skilled and best pure Boxers in the world

Canelo is an absolute wrecking machine but he has some of the worst foot work ever. He always sits down on his punches because he loves his power. It's crazy how flat footed he is during most of his fights. This style can work against most boxers since Canelo can KO a grizzly bear but Floyd isn't a stationary target.

He has a plodding style, but his footwork is not that bad.
 
I dont think Canelo could beat Floyd today. There's probably only two fighters around his weight class who can and Conor definite aint one of them. If Floyd could make 125 again Lamo would be a great fight. And Crawford at 140.

Stylistically Floyd is just a REALLY bad match up for Canelo. He might not beat him today, but the Floyd who fought Berto would beat today's Canelo
 
Canelo means nothing. He's a name. He has nothing on Conor. Boxers keep talking about the 'big name' boxers who beat other 'big name' boxers. Who gives a fook. This is a fight between an almost 41 year old, small, brittle man and a 170lb, MMA champion in his prime who's been boxing since age 12. He's going to annihilate Floyd. Just don't be hiding after it happens.

So I guess that must make Canelo like 5'5''?


Because those are always accurate, aren't they?

His real height is 5'8. You can find it on athletes real height websites.

Floyd was way too fast for him, Canelo looks like he is in slow motion compared to Floyd in that fight, and Canelo is a top class elite boxer. shows how fast and talented Floyd is

YES. Speed was the most obvious disparity. Mayweather pull countering all night is what will happen with McGregor also.

You have to have potential business partners....you business doesn't end, just because your fighting career does....plus if is close, think what a re-match will bring in.....don't think it hasn't already been discussed.
