    I see people say this all the time and that he was too green for Floyd. What are the big improvements? He still struggles against slick boxers and has stamina problems.

    He definitely improved, but he lost against Lara and twice against past prime GGG.

    He is an elite fighter, but not a World Class. But he is the PPV King so he is getting all the hype and the protection from the judges

    Canelo is the real deal
    Even Fielding says that he can dominate

    Obviously he is a lot smarter and stronger he has his man strength now and is in his prime.

    "Dominate" may be overstating it but Canelo can give any of the top guys a run for their money, in the least.

    He wasn't drained even a little bit. The same Floyd that beat him then would beat him now at 147. He is a lot smarter and more sure of himself but he still don't have the boxing IQ of Floyd.

    He's improved a lot. But I still think a slick boxer with some pop is Canelo's kryptonite. I think Mayweather would have always beaten Canelo though.

    He should fight Beterbiev, since he has the man strength.

    Well he is still young and no matter that I don't like him, he is still improving at this age.
