    Every time B Hop won Clinton Mitchels' rating got a huge boost as well. He is an ATG now by your logic.

    He was outsized badly for most of his fights at 147 and above WTF are you talking about? PBF is not a big guy he's little.

    To be honest, have to admit. It gives Floyd a boost.
    you can talk about catch weights, canelo is king at that and he accepted the fight against a 147 fighter.

    One could argue canelos gas tank was better at that weight than it is now. he learnt from floyd, just watch him.

    Floyd drained him to death. Floyd's win over ginger is tainted. It's old news.

    Sadly, draining opponents was the lesson Clenelo learned from Fluid.

    Alvarez was 153 in his previous fight against Trout; all of one pound heavier than his fight with Mayweather. Plus, Canelo made the weight on his first try. There was also no dehydration limit. So, as far as mitigating circumstances go, this one doesn't hold that much...weight.

    I explained exactly what I meant and you know what I mean. Floyd handpicked guys at the right time. I know it hurts, but that is going to be his legacy someday. The managed career.

    No Canelo is better now than when he fou
    No Canelo is better now than when he fought Floyd, however I don`t think Saul looked greav Jacobs who I don`t consider a very good fighter at all, this fight at middle has nothing to do with Saul`s bout v Floyd at 154.

    Floyd beat Corrales who may have had a height and reach advantage and was quick, but I feel Floyd was justified dodging tall fast fighters at welter because Floyd never really had the size of a welter, I don`t think it would have been wise for Floyd to have fought Hearns if they were the same age lets say.

    He's not a better fighter than he was, he was simply outmatched by Floyd Joy Sinclair (As does everyone else). He had 40+ fights under his belt and was a champion.

    Floyd at 35-36 would have beaten this Canelo to a bloody pulp like he did the last time, I see 12-0 again or a possible knockout.

    You're a irrational hater period. You can't ever give credit when it's due. These same people who you claimed he ducked or didn't fight at the right time had he fought them and beat them on your time table you'd still not give him an ounce of credit and come up with an excuse and say he proved nothing and needs to fight this person. PBF can never win with a irrational hater like you. Too bad for you he's already seen as the best of the era so your hate filled opinion is really irrelevant.

    Shut up with this bull****. No mention that PBF was 36 past his best and in his 5th weight class and was outweighed by atleast 15 pounds on fight night. Drained to death I mean people like you can never keep it real just exaggerate because you don't like the fighter and want to discredit the win to suit your agenda. Anyone with a pair of eyes and knows boxing can see that PBF is a horrible styles match up for any version of Canelo and he weighed in only 1 pound less than he did in his previous fight. Drained to death??? Drained to death is what Oscar was in his fight against Pac slow lethargic and dead at the weight. Canelo looked nothing like that to say he did is ridiculous.

    I have a hard time giving credit for people who handpick and for excuses. Both of those things.
    People know the story about Floyd. The handpicking reputation will follow him forever. He ducked Manny for years and then handpicked him and the fight happened many years later, regardless of what you or other people say.
