Floyd Mayweather scoring a pretty much one sided win against the unbeaten young Mexican Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Did anybody really expect anything else? Alvarez is a good fighter, but that’s it. He will have a good career, he already has but he was never going to beat Floyd. Hes just not good enough.
Alvarez said he just couldn’t figure Floyd out. Its not about figuring out its just Floyd was and is better. The kind of fighter for Mayweather to make it a better fight is actually someone like Amir Khan or Devon Alexander. Even a Pauli Malignaggi would give Floyd a better fight than Alvarez. The three named fighters have skills and speed.

The entire world saw the Las Vegas, Nevada based fight and they know that Mayweather clowned Canelo tonight, and made him look like novice.
By Dan Ambrose: Floyd Mayweather (45-0, 26 KO’s) totally dominated WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KO’s) in winning a 12 round majority decision at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The final judges decision was 114-114, 116-112, 117-111. The judge that had it even at 114-114 appeared to be watching a completely different fight because there was no way that Canelo had earned a draw in this fight unless the judge had his eyes closed for the entire fight. It was a mismatch all the way through the fight. 
By Chris Williams: WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) maybe only 23-years-old and vastly inexperienced compared to Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26, KO’s), but he still thinks he’s got the magical plan to beat Mayweather. Canelo isn’t saying whether this brilliant plan was thought up by himself, his trainers or Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions. I’m hoping for Canelo’s sake that he didn’t get this gem of a plan from Oscar, because it might be recipe for Canelo getting embarrassed rather than the ‘W.”
By Dan Ambrose: ESPN analyst Teddy Atlas is picking WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) to steal a close decision over Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) tonight in their mega fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. Atlas believes that Mayweather will make the mistake of focusing too much on his defense and not enough on his offense, and this will allow the 23-year-old Canelo to remain in the fight long enough to steal rounds by being the busier fighter. 
By M. Khan: Tonight’s match-ups between Floyd Mayweather and Saul “Canelo: Alvarez and Danny Garcia and Lucas Matthysse in Las Vegas, Nevada are an example of old school promoting. Its almost reminds us that boxing was a sport of pride and a way out of the gutters for most fighters.
By Dan Ambrose: If you saw Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer at yesterday’s weigh-in with WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather Jr., you’d think that Schaefer was ready to break out the pom poms and start cheerleading after Canelo made the 152 lb. catch-weight. Schaefer was all over Canelo, praising him for simply doing his job by coming in at the agreed upon weight. 
By Allan Fox: ESPN’s Dan Rafael is going with the smart picks for tonight’s mega fight card on Showtime pay-per-view by selecting Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) to top Mexico’s No.1 boxing star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s), and Argentinian Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 KO’s) over WBA/WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16 KO’s) by knockout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Dan Ambrose: The 23-year-old inexperienced WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) decided to play a bit of psychological gamesmanship with the kind of boxing Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) during Thursday weigh-in by refusing Mayweather’s request for him to hold one side of the newly created supposedly pure gold WBC 154 lb. title strap so that the 12,200 fans that attended the weigh-in could snap pictures.
