I don't think Floyd could have stopped him You have already convinced me about manny beating him at 152 lol Canelo couldn't deal with the speed, angles or volume Obviously at 154 and above I think he is too big
The Magarito fight probably convinced Pacquiao of his limit. Pac was supposed to fail at 130 and higher. SuperFeatherweight was considered beyond his limit. Then he kept pushing it until finally he met Margarito. He gave Tony a beatdown, but he Margarito ended Pacquiao's prime. He destroyed Pac. A man of Margarito's size beat the prime out of Pac.
Pacquiao lunges in and has zero defence, im pretty sure Canelo would catch him with something similar to what he caught Khan with
This content is protected Floyd beat up Clenelo. Walked him down and pinned him against the ropes. Look how bad of shape Clenelo was in by the end. Floyd could have absolutely stopped him if he went for it, but his comfort level was just issuing a beatdown. Clenelo's face looked worse than it did in the Bivol fight. This is a drained and deflated Clenelo. He didn't look much bigger than Floyd.
I remember Floyd walking him down, I actually watched the full fight again the other night. Canelo landed a little more than I remembered, but Floyd's movement and speed was too much He never goes for the kill when he smells blood, I do dislike that about Floyd
True. Back at his home country, Pac was with crutches for a considerable time. Before that, accompanied with his wife, he visited Margo and his then wife at the hospital with such, he said to them the Mexican is a warrior. Hence Pac claimed Margo was his hardest fight because it indeed was, his recovery for it was the longest in his boxing career.
Pac was the smaller man, in reality he had no business fighting Margarito. Margaritos power definitely diminished after Naazim caught him
At 152 and below I'd strongly favour Pacquiao. At 155 I'd have to slightly favour Canelo as that's higher than Pacquiao ever fought at.
I have no doubt that Pac utterly destroys Canelo that Floyd fought. I would bank on him doing the same against full on 154lb Canelo. Pacquaios feints, extremely fast feet and hands in out lateral movement, fast volume punching combinations from various angles is a bad match up for Canelo. He literally has all the attributes to trouble Canelo. Canelo would be gassed from all the energy he is forced to waste. I actually think Pac forces a stoppage on Canelo. When people to come to fight Canelo gasses. He has a mere punchers chance against Pac. He's a bigger puncher than Marquez but he's not a better counterpuncher
There's no difference between the Canelo pbf fought and the version that bivol fought other than canelo was heavier. I tried telling casuals and so called experts here that Canelo had not improved since pbf and was laughed off the forum. I said that canelo just didn't fight guys on pbfs level who could exploit his flaws and I was proven right, ward would've beaten him rather easily as well. I thought bivol could do it just didn't think he could get a decision and didn't have the big fight experience but he had all the skills to exploit him. I said all that to say this the same canelo who pbf schooled would've beaten the **** outta pac he's too small to deal with canelo. All that this is a different canelo much improved is nonsense his same flaws are still there if not worse now than they were then because of overconfidence and stubbornness on his part.
