Floyd threw 505 total punches to Canelo's 526. May hit him 232 times, Canelo just 117.
I don't think 21 less punches calls for Floyd "dodging" him, especially when he connected 100+ more times.

I'm not riding anything. I'm just calling it how I saw it. Stats mean nothing in this case. It's not the number of punches so much as the impact of them that I'm talking about. I saw one or two puches thrown by Mayweatrher that semed to be with intent to hurt, as opposed to the other 503 that were thrown with intent to connect and earn a point.
In a boxing exhibition Maywether took Canelo to school, but in a fight he didn't do shit to him.
This isn't the olympics or amatuers. This is supposed to be fighters fighting. That's why I'd call it a draw.
Think about it in sports terms. Mayweather had the best defense possible on a basketball court. Every time the opponent had the ball he blocked the shot or stole the ball outright. The other team didn't make a single basket. But Team Mayweather never once took the ball pased halfcourt to even take a shot. At the end of the day the score is zero/zero. Thus, a draw.
I have no clue who would have won in a fight. Maybe in 25 rounds Mayweather eventually gets a few shots on Canello and really hurts him. I'm just saying what I saw on Saturday was not one guy beating another in a fight.

Why would you describe a sport with another sport? lol. Maybe I need to read the rule book but I thought boxing was based on a points system. MM should've won by unanimous decision. Stats is a big deal in boxing.

I'm comparing it to other sports because that's what boxing wants. Once upon a time there was no need for judges and points were something no one ever thought of. And it's not like I'm saying Floyd would lose a 1920s rules boxing match. I don't know who would win. I'm just saying I didn't see much of a fight out of Floyd on Saturday. A great display of skill, but no fight.

THAT MAY BE TRUE IN THEORY, BUT CONSIDERING BOXING DONT WORK LIKE THAT, MAYWEATHER'S DOIN THE RIGHT THING AND SCORING POINTS THE WAY U SCORE POINTS IN BOXING. IN BASKETBALL, U SCORE POINTS BY PUTTING THE BASKET IN THE HOOP. IN BOXING, IT'S BY CONNECTED PUNCHES. HE'S THE SPURS OF BOXING.
