    So what?

    Was Mike Tyson "green" when he became champion at 20? Were the same excuses made for him when he lost to Douglas at age 23?

    Canelo doesn't need to improve. He wins not because of his boxing skills, but because of his golden papi.
    Yes a B- fighter.

    Would anybody really argue that Canelo then would only fight to a draw vs Canelo now?

    I certainly wouldn't.

    Obviously Floyd beats him at 147 now. Canelo would be near death at 147.

    Was Tyson a pro at 15 years old?

    And this elevates your boy Floyd to the GOAT status.

    Canelo himself hasnt improved but his team has. He's inherited Floyds super team. He's gpt Bob Bemmett, the NSAC, USADA & Vegas boxing officials making
    iit practically impossible for him to be beaten in Vegas
