Last night, Canelo Alvarez threw the second-fewest punches in a 12-round fight in CompuBox's 40-year history. So, don't be mad at William Scull for not getting hit. William Scull's name didn't make that list. Don't say he was the boxer in the ring who was "unwilling to fight." Was it one of the most boring PPV main events in recent memory? Yes, but is that because William Scull moved too much or because Canelo Alvarez couldn't close the distance and keep it closed? You know who else didn't stand in front of Canelo Alvarez and let him wallop the shit out of him for 12 rounds? His name is Floyd Mayweather, and last I checked he's the best boxer of the past 30 years. Obviously, William Scull is no Floyd Mayweather. Obviously, Scull lost the fight. But Alvarez lost the right to claim he'll fight anyone anywhere anytime, as has been said of him throughout his career. Last night, he could've made a legitimate effort to bring the fight to his challenger, or he even could've stood in the center of the ring until his challenger brought the fight to him. Instead, he did neither of those things. He made a piss poor effort of chasing the challenger around the ring. He threw a record-low number of punches. And then he had the audacity to tell his fans, "I hate those kinds of fighters." Gennady Golovkin wouldn't have went out like that.
