Floyd interviews like a politician with a concussion.

It was an easy fight for Mayweather, but I think most predicted it that way and this fight was never a genuine superfight. Canelo is overrated and in his own way has come through on the Chavez Jnr ticket. He isn't useless, but he isn't very good.

He fought stupidly for the first 6 in letting Mayweather outwork him so easily. I think Hatton and Cotto look even better in retrospect as they showed how to stifle Mayweather. You need footwork and a willingness to make it dirty. Alvarez like a plank decided to try and box. Just silly.

It reminded me a bit of Mayweather/Baldomir. Mayweather needs to stop fighting plodders with low output. I would like to see him face a boxer or someone with footwork who will let the hands go.

I said a while ago Canelos fights with Trout and Mosely dictated he would not win tonight.

Boxing judging never ceases to amaze me. I know at this point I shouldn't be shocked at anything but damn.

I think the absolute most you could give Canelo was 3 rounds, and that's being generous.

Let yourself down there Miles. Alvarez has been lumped in with Chavez Jr by people with bias, watch him with an open mind and the quality was always there to see. Canelo is very Good but underrated and will only get better. Tonight he rubber stamped it. It is a strange thing to say on a night where he was clearly beaten, but Floyd really is that good. Respect to Mayweather, he did a lot tonight to enhance his legacy and proved he has mettle along with the polish. Quality fight.
