    A guy who has over 40 pro fights and was the champ at 154 and top 10 P4P ranked is not green. Stop with this nonsense. I didn't hear anyone calling Teo green when he fought Loma and he was younger than Canelo when he fought PBF and Teo had way less fights than Canelo as well.

    I think teo was green when he fought loma. The only guy he fought to give him fits was nakatani. But that’s what happens when you win. They overlook the rest.

    Apart from Mosley, who was on his way down anyways, who else was world class before the Mayweather fight that canelo has fought?

    Watch round 7 between Floyd and Canelo and you'll know the answer...

    Trout the guy who beat Cotto the fight before. Canelo was not green, he had over 40 pro fights and was the champ at 154. You're not green if you have 40 pro fights and are the champ of the division. Lastly, no one before Teo fought Loma said he was green. No one made that excuse for Teo before the fight with Loma.

    Mayweather beats every Canelo we've seen.

    This version of Canelo would make Mayweather actually work though, probably gives him a scary moment or two, and all in all makes it a more competitive fight.

    But in the end he's just not good enough, and doesn't have the style, to get the job done.

    Mayweather 8 rounds to 4.

    How does mosley and trout stack up against what mayweather has faced up to that point? Honestly.

    PBF was also faded and 36 fighting in his 5th weight class. I'd rather be 23 going into a boxing match than 36 that's for damn sure.

    but answer the question tho. i dont get why you dont wanna answer the question. i didnt ask if he was faded. We are talking about being green and lacking experience. Is age a topic we touched on? I dont think so. Answer the question ffs.

    He was not lacking experience he was the champ. Did PBF lack experience when he beat Hernandez at 21 to win the lineal championship with fewer fights than Canelo had when he fought PBF??? They sound like excuse to me.

    So again you answer my question with another question.

    This is the question "How does mosley and trout stack up against what mayweather has faced up to that point? Honestly." Please be responsive. if anything explain as well. breakdown why exactly there was no lack of championship experience.

    Floyd is just simply better than Canelo. His punching accuracy, deception, ability to disrupt/offset rhythm, being disciplined enough to react and adjust to being hit with certain punches would make the difference 10 times out of 10. Canelo has improved big time, but Plant is no FLOYD MAYWEATHER.

    So how many years does someone have to be a pro boxer to have experience and not be considered green?

    Floyd is the ultimate sharpshooter/equalizer. The way to get him out of comfort zone is to maul him and not give him any space to throw or land anything. It’s easier said than done though.

    Canelo wasn't green when they fought but he was further from his prime(which is now) than Floyd was from his.
