    Monzon beats Floyd and Canelo. I am not sure what your point is.

    I’m not the one who brought up Monzon. However, both Floyd and Canelo would have done much better than Napoles and Briscoe

    Pre prime with Forty odd fights??
    I thought he was ready to take the torch from Mayweather?
    Wow. Now he's PRE Prime with Forty some odd fights.
    How many rounds did you give Canelo vs Mayweather?

    Canelo had no amateur career, so he was indeed pre-prime

    Canelo actually had quite a good amateur career.

    Again- how many rounds did you give Canelo when he fought Maywesther?
    And did you agree with the first GGG bouts decision?

    Monzon might actually break Floyd into two separate pieces.

    I know you were not asking me, but memory says I gave Canelo 1-2 rounds against FMJ...but he was pre prime (not that it matters Floyd is simply better), and learned and improved by that loss. I had both GGG fights the way of the judges draw and a narrow victory in the 2nd.

    I am not sure why boxing fans hate great boxers but very few are willing to give Canelo props. I am not a fan but the dude can fight and fight at a top level. Not sure how anyone (not meaning you) can watch him and not be impressed
