    B4 anyone says "Canelo was inexperienced!!!", let's not forget that people said Mayweatjer would lose to Canelo BECAUSE of his age!

    38 year old Mayweather fresh out of prison SCHOOLED 23 year old Canelo!

    Mayweather did better against Canelo than GGG did in their second fight. How?

    Why don't you tell us why you think?

    Why just ask the question?

    Mayweather is too technically skilled, moreso than GGG.

    Mayweather ring IQ is unparalleled and unmatched by any other fighter at that time or since that time.

    No idea. I don't watch Mayweather fights. He's boring. It probably had to do with how much younger and greener Canelo was.

    Because Canelo got bigger, stronger and better when he fought Triple G, and then needed two corrupt decisions from his judges to cheat Golovkin.

    okay look, just because Wilder got exposed doesnt mean you can all of a sudden deflect and undermine Triple G just because youre butthurt

    Hahahha what? I wanted Fury to beat Windmill Wilder.

    First fight was a robbery but second fight Canelo won.

    Canelo's youth is exactly WHY people, I.e. Mayweather haters, said he would win. LOL.

    Mayweather never takes risks, but even today Floyd beats Canelo again, because:
    • Canelo is 90% Slower than Mayweather
    • Canelo is 95% Shorter on Reach
    Mayweather has more problems with rangier-high-volume sluggers.

    Floyd was juiced up on PEDs while Canelo was drained and unjuiced. GGG fought a Clenelo that was so juiced up that the Dominican national baseball team was fearing a shortage of PEDs. Clenelo also had bricks in his gloves against GGG.
