(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Bill Reimbold: If you watched Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) pulverize Josesito Lopez and WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout, you can’t doubt the power Canelo brings into the ring. It is awesome power wielded by a man in the prime of his athleticism. I’ve watched those fights over and over and can’t get enough.
I’ve also watched most of Floyd Mayweather’s fights and I can tell you I have never watched one twice. He is a bore. A defensive fighter supreme but a boring showman. He hides behind his shoulder, keeping his head just out of reach. He’s made that stance popular. I even watched as Andre Berto futilely attempted to copy the strategy. And here is where Mayweather is vulnerable.
