    Ill go with Canelo, since Floyd moved up to fight him....particularly if Canelo beats Kovalev

    But Manny win was also great, considering how good hes looked since.

    I think the weight making took a lot of Canelo

    And his age. Thst wasn't a in his prime Canelo.

    Fight was nothing more than a money grab for him, them.

    Pacquiao was the better win. Too bad Manny offered a lame excuse after that poor performance.

    That Canelo win is one of the greatest wins in history.

    Canelo has gone on to do incredible things and Floyd just absorbs his wins, that goes for the Pacquiao win too. Floyd absorbs it all.

    Tough to call.

    In retrospective, the Canelo win is extremely impressive. Canelo has proved himself a very talented and very skilled champion. The more he does, the better it looks.

    However, Pac is easily a top 50 P4P fighter of all time. This is a position Canelo won't get near to, which is not meant to denigrate him. Guys at this level are very, very special and extremely proven. The win over Pac was very convincing and non controversial (to any sane fan).

    I'd have to side with the Pac win.

    Clenelo is a way better and a much more healthy and vigorous fighter now than the Drainelo rabbit food diet cadaver who fought Floyd and he trains way harder now too whereas back then he used to take breaks every five minutes. And Austin Trout paddled his freckled ass before Floyd got to him.

    I thought the Pacquiao win for Mayweather was pathetic, I'm mean really, how many clinches per round did Mayweather instigate?

    Could Mayweather have beaten Pacquiao without constantly grabbing and getting into the clinch against Pacquiao? I seriously have my doubts.

    drained Canelo and past his prime Pacquiao I’d say it’s about even

    Pacquiao for me. Canelo went to 152. Is now fighting Kova at 175
