    I mean...if Floyd's reflexes and timing have REALLY dropped then maybe, but if he's close to the level he was even at for the Berto fight I'd still pick him every time. Canelo has god better for sure but that style will always be all wrong for him

    Floyd literally embarrassed canelo.. That was probably floyds easiest fight. Canelo felt that Floyd joy. But canelo has absolutely nothing in his arsenal to trouble Floyd with. Canelo still loses a wide UD, and would get knocked out by King GiGi. He'd lose a UD to Brook as well.

    LOL. He would lose every single round just like he did the first time.

    canelo didn't lay a glove on Floyd and he was nearly crying, he would turn the fight down and smash a flyweight up with Oscar grinning in the background.

    Mayweather is knocking 40, enjoying his retirement and hasn't fought for how long?

    I would probably take a few fighters to beat him right now, that's why he went out on Andre Berto and not a Thurman or Brook, Mayweather knows age has caught up to him.

    Not true at all. Sure Floyd is 40 but he's obviously still mega light years away from everyone in terms of skill. Thurman and Brook are technical fighters.. That means they 0 chance against Floyd.

    I'd favor Errol spence and Shawn porter over Floyd, but Thurman and Brook have no chance

    I think Floyd could come out of retirement right now and beat him again. Mayweather is on another level and it appears that he is staying in great shape.
