Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his career

[Spicoli]

Slow pitch over the plate either way but who's looking back and who's looking forward? But Canelo will never be in Mayweathers league inside the ropes and regardless of how you felt about his style, Floyd largely got through on actual consistent skill rather than being hand held, benefited and readily provided 101 excuses. Guess what I'm saying is I wish both would enjoy retirement .

I don’t think there is a way to score a round of their fight for Canelo, that said, it wasn’t easy for Floyd by any means. I think he fought that well largely because he had to, being in against a much younger and bigger guy with Heavy hands, who was fundamentally sound. Considering that, it was a brilliant performance as it was about as one sided as a competitive fight can possibly be, if that makes sense. This likely is just Floyd being bitter, though. McGregor is a better fighter than Canelo, as a boxer? I mean please...

C J Ross would argue with you about the score.

It was a fantastic performance from Floyd tho.

I don't won't to take anything away from the win but those couple of extra pounds Canelo had to lose would have had an effect.

Anyone who has had to cut weight knows it's never easy. And then Canelo had to lose that little bit more than he was used to. The ironic thing is Canelo has now adopted those same tactics.

hey I like you, but you literally just said nothing,right? Cj Ross has a record of being hilariously useless. Canelo was very young when the fight happened, and naturally a lot bigger than Floyd. Losing the weight, for him, wAs probably easier than it was gaining it for Floyd, over his career. I’m pretty far from an athlete myself, but it’s. a hell of a lot easier to shift weight at 20 than it is 40.there is no question alvar z was a much bigger and stronger guy.

I like you too 😉

The Ross thing was a joke.

Sure it's 'easier' to cut weight when younger, no one is denying that. But cutting is never easy. I hope we can get some other opinions from guys that have also had to cut weight. I would say I made weight easy, but it reality it was F-ckin hard, and I was only an am fighting but far below my walk around weight.

Canelo hadn't been at or below 152 for roughly 2 years. His body would have become accustomed to squeezing down to 154, and even making that, the week up to the fight, if not longer looking at his statue, he would have been boiling down. It's always this last few pounds that f-ck you up, you hit a wall of sorts. Then add that Canelo has to drop another 2 pounds to a weight he hasn't been at for 2 years. HARD.

Take a look at Corrales when he fought Floyd, he had only just fought at 130 4 months prior, but was struggling to get there. He had nothing in that fight.

Floyd beat Oscar at his weight and people never said that Floyd was too young.

Floyd beat Canelo as the smaller, past his prime older guy and now its because Canelo was too young?...please.

Canelo could never ever beat Floyd but he has beat everyone else including the bogey man..GGG.

Just accept that Floyd is TBE.

The best (of this) era.

For the record I never said Canelo would beat Floyd. I only pointed out that Canelo would have struggled and been affected by having to make 152. If it wasn't such a big deal then why did Floyd insist on it? Like why is Khan insisting in a rehydration clause with Brook?

And I have mentioned before on here that I had Floyd as a big favorite over Oscar. Sturm outboxed his ass and Hopkins weighing 156 stopped him before Floyd fought him. The Oscar that Floyd fought was far removed from the Oscar that was at 135 to 147.

You are likely correct. I’m no heavier than those guys myself, so I dislike the whole weight cutting argument myself. My weight fluctuates at least 10 lbs on a daily basis, depending mainly, I assume, on what I cooked for the night before.

And water, that's why they call it drying out or boiling down.

Not saying I'm right, just speaking from experience. Some guys might make it 'easier' but it's always pretty tough.

If you get the chance to visit a gym, see if you can hang out with a fighter preparing for a bout. Especially the last couple of days before weigh in. That sh-t can break you. That's why a lot of fighters say the fight is the fun part. All the hard part is behind them.

Totally agree with this. Canelo had the edge in youth, size, power, and of course..... chin. There was no way in hell Floyd was going to knock out or even stun Canelo. He probably could have, but that would've meant putting himself in harm's way a bit too much. All the advantages resided with Canelo. Which is why the absolute whitewash of a fight was so astounding and satisfying (for me) to watch. It was 12 rounds to zero, sans CJ Ross's ridiculous scorecard, which only shows judges can be bought rather easily. For Floyd to avoid making a mistake, he had to fight a great fight.... and that's precisely what he did. I also agree he's just a bitter ex-fighter now.... and predictably takes pot shots at Canelo. But nothing of what he says is wrong. It WAS his easiest fight ever.... and Canelo doesn't belong within a few light-years of Floyd in terms of fighter class. Every single opponent Floyd had particularly in his later years, outperformed Canelo by a country mile (I'm excluding McGregor, of course).

[Ron Swanson]

This “bitter” thing is strange to me. I could see saying this if he started this. But Canelo started it, which suggests Canelo is the one with an axe to grind.

Or did Floyd say something before Canelo got thirsty and that isn’t being reported?

[TitoFan]

Oh.... I thought Floyd just up and said what he said about Canelo. If Canelo started the war of words, then it's even worse. Canelo has no business even mentioning Floyd's name without permission.

Something tells me it’s about as strange to you as a clogged toilet is to a plumber.

Wait, people call plumbers for clogged toilets? I’m confused again 😂

Much less confused than I am by reading you post something self deprecating.... I was initially tempted to google plumbers, in case they don’t deal with clogged toilets anymore :/
