Judging by his display v GGG is Canelo now better than anyone Floyd faced in his prime?

    Lets not get it twisted, Golovkin comfortably beat Canelo 2 times despite el Ginger having stacked wraps, Clenbuteral, And being a full fledge middleweight and in his 20’s.

    Drug Mule would beat Floyd to within an inch of his life if they rematched. Drug Mule would die going back down to 154, so it would be at 160, which Floyd would never agree to.

    You are correct, Canelo is rated higher P4P now then anyone Floyd fought at the stage he fought them at.

    Hard to believe that this was over 12 rounds.

    What's the hardest opponent of Floyd's career? Is it Castillo? Is it a past his prime De La Hoya? Floyd never had a signature fight of his career. That's why he cant be rated as a super high ATG.

    Canelo as he is now would have beaten anyone Floyd fought at the time he fought them based upon any of them being able to get up[ to light middle.

    Canelo has shown the ability to beat a super middleweight easily, BJS has never shown that ability, AJ exploits his reach advantage very well, but Canelo fights well at middle while having short arms at that weight, this is why GGG could land so many jabs without being countered, because he could punch while out of Canelo`s range.

    Floyd`s feet aren`t that fleet anymore and are only going to get less fleet.

    Physically Canelo has transformed, from a 154 pounder to a hulking 168 pounder. It reminds me of how Vinnie Pazienza was fighting at 140--47 with speed . Then after his accident he's a muscle bound 168 pounder who use a lot of strength. Vinnie juiced up to get there, Canelo has already been busted for the juice. He's was a good fighter, but because of juice you now can't compare Canelo with anyone Floyd fought.
