This is a good scrap. Garcia is better than I expected.
No Mayweather vs Canelo thread?

The judge who thought that was a draw must be blind. It was completely one-sided from beginning to end.

Was Alvarez getting points for being hit in the face?

I'm going back out on my bike again now.Got home just in time for Money vs Canelo (thankfully didn't start until half 5) due to over zealous old bill stopping a man cos he was out riding on an expensive bike at 3am in the morning
11-1 Mayweather, several levels above Alvarez and every other likely opponent at present, his only competition now is Father Time.
Garcia showed against Khan that he can take a shot, but I still thought Matthysse would have enough to stop him. Garcia isn't great at any one thing but he's very good all round, and with Cotto coming towards the end the way is open for him to get the Puerto Rican fanbase behind him. He's a likely Mayweather opponent in the future, Mayweather's got four fights left on his contract and there aren't a whole load of credible, commercially viable opponents out there. The winner of Khan-Alexander will be in the mix, likewise Broner assuming he gets through Maidana, Pacquiao may come back into the picture out of sheer necessity and the amount of money that still can be made. None of those names gives Mayweather any trouble until age catches up with him.

Yes. There's nobody in his league. His people will spend the next year trying to build one of the (perfectly decent but outclassed) fighters named into a semi-credible threat for marketing purposes. Then after he beats that one, they'll do it again with the next.
Only had chance to watch this recently. Watching Mayweather fight is like poetry in motion, always a privilege (even if he is a dick.)
Canelo was overmatched though, and if Mayweather fights Amir Khan then Khan will be too. I don't expect Mayweather to take on any risky fighters at his age, so just enjoy it while he's still around.

There are risky fighters?
Good point. There's no-one out there who can touch him.
His potential opponents are the winner of Amir Khan - Devon Alexander or the winner of Juan Manuel Marquez - Timothy Bradley. If Manny Pac beats Brandon Rios comfortably then maybe that fight is on again? Pacquiao 3 years ago would've been a good fight, but now the attraction has gone. There's little competition for him out of that lot, and he's beaten Marquez once already. There's no-one else under 154lbs who's going to give him any kind of fight. I can't see him losing his 0 by the time he retires.
