Canelo's gameplan against Floyd.

[VG_Addict]

What do you think would have happened if Canelo had chosen to brawl against Floyd?

Personally, I don't think the result would have been any different. As we saw later in the Lara fight, Canelo is terrible at cutting off the ring, and is flat-footed.

I don't get why people keep saying "had chosen to", in reality it was Floyd who didn't ALLOW HIM TO, his defense was too tight and Canelo didn't know how to deal, so he just got beat up, it wasn't that he abandoned his gameplan it was that he wasn't good enough to execute it, plain and simple

Floyd is great at making his opponents fight his fight.

I really thought Canelo would win this and stayed up all night in the dream that he would be too big and strong. Floyd fought his best fight which was hit and not get hurt, unlike his approach to Cotto where he traded, and Canelo could do nothing to get to Floyd. I was very disappointed in Saul.

I did think Canelo would at least put a hurtin on Floyd but Floyd made Canelo look like a ten year old flailing at the wind. I think the frustration level just overwhelmed him. He would probably look a little better against Floyd at this stage of his career but I wouldn't expect the end result to be different. God that was a horrible fight.

I don't recall a gameplan beyond 'Stand back and let him pot shot me all night'. Boring fight.

Not having a game plan and not being allowed to utilise one are too different things Miles... Like most other people, he was baffled when he was actually stood in front of Floyd.

So, what was the gameplan? I saw a method from the likes of Cotto, Maidana, and even Hatton against Mayweather, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what Canelo was trying to do.

[walrus]

I think he actually went in with the idea of out boxing Floyd which was ludicrous but that's what it looked like the first few rounds. Your right, he should have tried to muscle Floyd like Maidaina and Cotto did with some success but Floyd still would have whooped him. Wasn't that the CJ Ross night, I remember one of the judges gave a draw or something ridiculous but I'm not sure who it was.

That's not the way I remember that fight. In Canelo's own words, "I couldn't find him.". He was trying hard, but Floyd was never where he was supposed to be, plus as you already pointed out, Canelo was eating a steady flow of punches.
An embarrassing nite for Canelo and an easy nite for Floyd.

Canelo is a great combination puncher but he has very heavy feet and doesn't close distance well at all.
