Just proves what a wonderful fighter Floyd Mayweather really was to beat Canelo.

Yes indeed Al. I watched Smith give away his height advantage by crouching and leaning in, allowing Canelo to dictate the distance that the fight was to be fought within, (taking away all his leverage) then his utter contempt for Smiths power. Alvarez did whatever he wanted to do in there, aided by a sadly inept showing by Smith who was just in survival mode after the 9th.

The size difference was comical at times, but it had no bearing at all. It was a man against a boy in there.

Stright afterwards, I watched Mayweather against Alvarez. Jesus, what a fighter Floyd was. Brilliant against an admittedly pre-roided to the gills Canelo. It's painfully obvious when you look at the changes in his physique!

Mayweather stood right in the pocket, like Don Curry used to do, countered Canelo until he was gun shy. Controlled the ring, astonishing reflexes and technique and superb fitness and stamina.
