It is that pitiful beard, the fact he does not stand up straight, and his pathetic attire. He looks like a lawn jockey troll gone homeless.

That would be precious. The whole thing flops and puts everyone upside down, with lawsuits being fired in all direction like a western movie shootout.

I don’t like his style of throwing just a few eye-catching punches a round, showing off slick defensives that catch judges/fans eye and then coasting late in fights.
Saying that though; he’s was the best fighter I ever seen and those days from super feather to light welter he was fun to watch.
Castillo beat him, mind.

How on earth did you score that fight a draw? Did you score positively for Alvarez getting hit?

I’m well aware I’m in the minority but I didn’t score many of the late rounds for Floyd for coasting and I give Alvarez a couple of the early closer rounds on aggression.

I may have got the dates reversed but the point remains that they were only 6 months between beating Canelo and his skills evaporating and scrapping past Maidana according to the above poster.
Which is bollocks.

Are you talking to me, or the great poster in the sky?

FMJ fought Marcos Maidana twice in 2014 (May and September). He struggled mightily in both. In the opinions of a significant chunk of people, he lost the first fight, which gave him the excuse to waste another date dancing with Marcos rather than giving other young lions their shot.

Whether his gifts and skill set declined between September of 2013 and May of 2014 has nothing to do with this. Whether he has declined in the 7 years since a limited (though dangerous) Maidana fought him even is the question (which is obviously rhetorical)?

FMJ is fighting an 0-1 YouTube influencer rather than Spence or Crawford or Charlo or Josh Taylor because the YouTube influencer will not tear him to shreds the way the current rulers of 140-154 would.

End of....

Neither of the Maidana fights were close. People hate Mayweather and we’re clutching that he lost a few rounds. There was no way either fight were close

So that’s a yes to my 2nd question?

Listen, I’ve already said I’m in the minority but we all have one or two cards that we individually score different from the vast majority of people - this is mine. I can’t remember the in-depth round by round analysis from a fight 7+ years ago and if I watched it again then I might score it very different. My feeling on the night was that Floyd was very accurate and hit Alvarez a lot but there was some rounds where Floyd’s low punch output vs. Canelo trying to make the fight become marginal calls to me. I seem to recall giving Mayweather none of the last 4/5 rounds but like I say... it was so long ago I can’t recall and it’s just taken me 3/4 mins to remember my password to reply to your ass.
But it’s my perspective on that particular fight. Most of my scores over the last 15 years have been more or less inline with others but sadly just me and Adelaide Byrd stand together on this (well at least I think it was her).
And I’m ok with that.

It's an exhibition so it doesn't go against your record and there is no price that could be put on the re match.
