Why Floyd Outclassed Canelo

Floyd Mayweather and Saul Canelo Alvarez fought on September 14, 2013 in Las Vegas. I believe Floyd was the better fighter and is still better. People Say Canelo was too young or he was just starting his career. The man was 23 fighting a 36 year old man and lost….Bad. 

Floyd won every single round Convincingly. This Man Canelo could not touch Floyd. He was trying to hit Floyd with some Hard shots and could not have any success. Floyd was Clearly the more experienced. The Philly shell defense was too much for Canelo.

Floyd absolutely destroyed Canelo´s High guard. Canelo had no answer for Floyd. Black Boxers always beat Mexican Boxers and that's a fact..Usually. Canelo Underestimated Floyd and paid the price. Canelo was being stung with hard jabs and continuously was countered with right hands. I guess you could say Floyd is TBE(the best ever).
