It was really a masterpiece from Floyd to have never gotten tagged or bothered in that fight considering everything, imo.


I'm gonna vehemently disagree with this and of course it's going to sound like just more antagonism, but c'est la vie. The thread title includes the words "highly skilled/technical fights". Forgive me for chuckling but.... you're not seriously including Canelo's shutout loss to Floyd in that list. You said it yourself. Ginger didn't win a round. So why the contradiction? It lessens/discredits all the hundreds if not thousands of true boxers that have engaged in pure boxing matches. Some of which have been mentioned here. Canelo did not belong in the same ring with Floyd, and that was borne out from the very beginning. Let's give Canelo the credit he deserves for being a puncher..... for having a good chin.... for being tough. But pleeeeease do not put him anywhere near the phrase highly skilled and technical fights. Now if this warrants another hate PM from you, so be it. I'm not going to stand idly by and read your incomprehensible crap.
