Floyd was Way more accomplished than canelo at 23!

Floyd was coming off of a great amateur career that meant he was a lot further along in terms of experience at 23 compared to Canelo who had very little amateur experience which meant he had to learn on the job as a pro. That's why Canelo has so many fights under his belt at this stage of his career compared to Floyd as he had to make up for the learning he missed with his lack of amateur experience.

 

Floyd's resume through the Castillo rematch, given the few years as a pro, is really amazing in terms of quantity and quality combined.

 

Beating a washed up Genaro Hernandez who had already been smashed by Oscar is not a great achievement.

 

Genaro was lineal and is a top 10 all time of the division. He was the betting favorite. His one and only loss to Oscar was at 135 LW as well. To Oscar. No shame in that. Genaro was great.

 

I remember Oscar and Bob Arum avoiding the great Azumah Nelson at JuniorLightweight and instead opting to fight Jimmy Bredahl! Says it all really.

 

Really Says what exactly?

 

If those are the facts, I won't disagree. What's your point?

 

:heythere may be unanswered questions in the minds of some as to wether Floyd is the real deal or not......but if you hate him you obviously hate boxing:deal

there are things i see that look like flaws in floyd, but he is human afterall. I remeber seeing him for the first time and was mesmerised by his fleet footedness and the ease that he beat his opponents. he is pretty good eh :yep:deal

 

he didn't duck as many fighters as floyd though

 

top rank knows how to guide and build fighters.

 

Canelo's only notable win is Trout

 

He says with a serious face while defending Floyd's resume
