Punches actually landing and some being guarded. You'll see Floyd roll punches too, those are technically connecting but they're having little to no effect. It's hard to see punches as a commentator sitting ringside too, especially depending on the angle the fighters are at. Edit: Canelo is trying to fight too clean of a fight. He needs to make this an ugly street fight. Use that big body, bully Floyd and try to tire Floyd. Work the body, slow him. This isn't working at all. | ||

He's too big. Edit: Although Floyd does spar with middleweights and super middleweights. I dunno, if the money's right, who knows. He's got 4 more fights left on his contract. | ||

I listened to a podcast with Bill Simmons and the owner of Canelo's gym (the guy who directed Friday Night Lights), and Simmons postulated that Mayweather's fighting so well so late in his career because he doesn't have much mileage on him because he doesn't get whacked much. | ||

Yep, Floyd has a ton of fights, but he's taken very little punishment over his career. Another contributor to his longevity is that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs. He stays in shape and in the gym year round. | ||

Would winning against Sergio be more legitimate than winning vs Pacquiao at this point? Tbh, I thought Canelo to be the toughest opponent he'd realistically fight. I do think Canelo took this fight 2 years too early though. I think he's a great talent but he's definitely got a lot of work ahead of him. We'll see how Pac looks after his fight with Brandon Rios this November. It could still be an interesting fight. I'd like to see how Sergio looks next year though. I didn't like how he looked against Martin Murray. He had surgery prior to that fight, and then reinjured himself. If he's the Sergio of old, that's still a great fight to be made too.

People may not like him as a person, but he is a true professional when it comes to boxing. | ||
