Close fights in a career of irregular fights at the higher weights. Mayweather has just been tripping and looking for doors. Canelo? He was fighting Matthew Hatton a few fights before. So shit.

Floyd has got silly.
Canelo was far and away the most in demand opponent available Miles, give me a break. If Floyd hadn't fought him everyone would still be adamant that he is/was ducking the guy. It's always once he's beaten people that they were suddenly crap all along, unless they actually performed well against him and then it's because Floyd isn't that great You can do that with any fighter ever and it's boring as hell. The man has a better record than anyone in decades, only Leonard even comes close and that's because he had rivals. If you were to take away 2 of his fights he doesn't compare either.
