Yeah but you can say the same about any fighter.

I think people are way too hard on Canelo. His last four fights were Trout, Floyd, Angulo and Lara. So that's Floyd, Angulo (a gimme to get his confidence back), and two southpaw runners/slicksters. Nobody looks good against Floyd, nobody looks good against Lara, and the only guy who looked good vs Trout was Lara. Trout and Lara are two guys nobody wants to fight, and Canelo took them both on and got the job done.

It's always funny to hear people talk about fighting Floyd like the guys he fought had the choice of how the fight was going to go, and somehow chose wrong. The truth is nobody gets to fight the fights they want to against Floyd. Castillo got to fight his a lot in their first fight and Maidana did too, but other than that Floyd has dictated the terms in all his bouts.

It was a whitewash. Boxing's equivalent to a perfect game in baseball.
Why keep sugarcoating it?

You are right, Floyd is not cooperative when it comes to his fights. He has winning ways and sticks to them, contrary sucker in my opinion!
