    Canelo is literally twice the fighter he was then. And he was weakened. This does not boost Floyd. Same as beating Manny when Manny was older does not.. Floyd handpicked at the right times. There is an art to it, but in the end people see through the nonsense.

    Chavez is not mediocre.
    Jumping up in the lower weight classes is just so overrated, it is way harder to move up in heigher weight classes. Mayweather was never ever at a same disadvantage in terms of size like canelo.
    I never discredited mayweather because of his reach, i only said that he faced a lot of people that had a comparable or longer reach.

    One of the greatest wins of this era, and is continuing to pay dividends to this day.

    Canelo is 5'9, and was shown yesterday on DAZN.

    Floyd is 5'7

    Canelo was heavier by a mile in that fight as well.

    That's just the way it is. Canelo was completely fresh and got embarrassed. It is what it is.

    What you need to do is go to a boxing gym, put on some gloves, and get in the ring with someone 15-20 pounds heavier (+ or - depending o n your size). You'll quickly understand why boxing has weightclasses instead of height classes.

    Boxrec has them booth at 5‘8 and thats it. Boxrec is the standard not some internet broadcaster that is a few years old. Everybody with 2 working eyes could see that they were the same height in the ring.

    Floyd is not 5'8, he's 5'7 - 5'7.5 at the most.

    And did you not watch the fight yesterday on DAZN? Canelo was listed at 5'9.

    And Canelo outweighed him by close to 20 pounds I reckon.

    They're not updated, that's just what it is.

    We saw what Floyd did to someone that outweighed him by 20 pounds, 20.

    A 12-0 annihilation and Floyd damn near knocked him out in round 8. Canelo was a deer in headlights.

    Round 8, Canelo had his head snapped back with his legs shivering like a man without clothes in the cold. Take a look at them legs, he looked like he was close to tipping over like a sack of potatoes.

    Never knew 2 pounds could take you from elite to a corpse at 22 years old
