Floyd makes everyone he fights look confused and average. It becomes a boring fight because he's so elusive and has great hand speed. He is much stronger than most people think. When you see how fast he hits and how he bloodies his opponents. He just doesn't take enough chances to get a guy out of there. Why should he?? He could have probably ended this one early but he's not going to put himself in harms way to do it. That's why a lot of people hate him because they want him to stand toe to toe and get hit. LOL, of course, they would do the same thing if they were in the ring.
I am not as impressed with Canelo as everyone is building him up to be. Who the hell has he fought? Kermit Cintron is his best bout. He beat a very depleted Shane Mosley. Gomez? N'dou? Baldomir maybe his best bout??? I thought Trout exposed a lot of defensive holes that I've seen the last few years. He is very green compared to Mayweather. I see another Mayweather/Cotto fight to be honest.
The only thing that can beat Mayweather is father time and/or injury. He's been having problems with his right hand (it hurt him tonight). His speed and elusiveness is such that he could still beat a guy with one hand. Until he shows signs of aging, I wouldn't bet against him.
