By Mr. Pennington: They say the merit of a man is judged not by being knocked down, but how he gets up. After Saturday’s main event between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Saul ’Canelo” Alvarez, a lot of question have been answered. As my father would say “the make-up is off the pig”, basically meaning now that all the build- up and hype is over, we can finally see what we really have in Alvarez.
One thing we found out Saturday night is that Canelo is not the one, but being 23 isn’t so bad either already reaching the pinnacle of the sport.
For Alvarez in my estimation, there are a few tough lessons that have been learned that may not be easy to swallow.
By Van Dunn: Now that the much hyped Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight is over, and Mayweather Jr. has once again showed the boxing world that he is in a class above everyone else, we can all sit back and chuckle. Chuckle not at the fact that Mayweather totally outclassed the younger, stronger and immensely confident fighter in Alvarez, nor chuckle at how easy that Mayweather made this fight look, or even chuckle at the incompetency of the majority decision empowered by the 114-114 score of a renegade judge.
by Jordan Capobianco: The rabid crowds liked it when Lucas Matthysse knocked people out. They wanted to see him knock more people out. They wanted to see him knock Danny Garcia out. They thought he could because he had knocked lots of people out before, and they were seduced by his ability to do it.
By Mr. Pennington: I am shocked, just days ago, many who are on this very site were writing articles of how P4P champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. would be dethroned by Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Some even went as far to say that Mayweather Jr. would be knocked out by Alvarez. Predictions are fun, and with sport, it comes with the territory. I don’t hold anyone accountable for making a prediction and being wrong, that doesn’t disqualify you being a knowledgeable fan. 
By Dan Ambrose: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) was being very gracious with former WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KO’s) after his one-sided 12 round majority decision over the red-headed fighter last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Allan Fox: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) is hoping that former WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KO’s) will be agreeable to fighting newly crowned IBF 154 lb. title holder Carlos Molina (22-5-2, 6 KO’s) for his IBF strap next. Molina defeated Ishe Smith by a 12 round split decision last Saturday night on “The One” undercard a the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Miguel Alejandro Lopez: From a boxing purist’s standpoint, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0) simply outpointed Canelo Alvarez (42-1) in their fight last September 14, labelled as “The One”. From jabs to feints to lateral movements, Mayweather exhibited Olympic style boxing at its best. For the general mainstream viewers however, this tactical chess-match style of fighting can really be a challenge to the attention span, especially if one has to sit thru 12 rounds of monotonous activity in the boxing ring with no knockdowns and furious exchanges.
