Things I took away from tonight's fight.....

[Beanz]

The thing you seemed to most take away from last nights fight is a feeling of resentment. Not that Canelo proved him self as overrated but that he proved to be better than most, including you, had given him credit for. It seems to have irked you that Canelo, his team, and his fans have not had to come up with the excuses you predicted they would. He did not embarrass himself, he lost. He lost by a wide margin but he was not humiliated. It's prize fighting and whether you rate him or not, because of his huge fanbase he brought Floyd the biggest prize. For that reason alone he deserved his shot.

Ok Beanz... let's talk about that. How exactly did Canelo prove himself better than many, including me, had given him credit for? By getting shut out through 12 rounds? By never having Floyd in anything resembling trouble? By giving Floyd less of a competitive fight than anyone since JMM? How exactly?

It seems to have irked you that Canelo, his team, and his fans have not had to come up with the excuses you predicted they would.

His most vocal fan hasn't even shown up here yet. Of course he hasn't had to come up with excuses. Once he comes in here.... the excuses will flow like the Mississippi.

It's prize fighting and whether you rate him or not, because of his huge fanbase he brought Floyd the biggest prize. For that reason alone he deserved his shot.

And Floyd Mayweather agrees with you, and profusely thanks all of Canelo's fan base.... for making this easy payday possible. See..... that's the thing about boxing. You don't necessarily have to deserve the shot out of pure merit. You can get gifted a shot based on hype, size of fan base, and a whole bunch of other factors that have nothing to do with ring-earned merit.
