    It was 8 months later, and over those 8 months Floyd got out of shape. He did not train as hard for Maidana as he trained for Canelo and he wasn't in the kind of shape he was in for Canelo for Maidana.

    Thats the thing. Floyd was an amazing boxer and he often doesnt get the credit he deserves because he made it look so easy

    Canelo's got some skill, but I do think he's beatable. Anybody that has a good jab, will attack the body, stamina, and can nullify his counter shots can beat him.

    A Mayweather/Canelo 2 with Tank/Garcia on the undercard would do very well. I don't think Floyd wants to train hard like he used to though.

    Your own words:

    :lol:

    So what's the problem? Or do you think he plateaued at Floyd or summat? LOL Do u even have an argument fella or did I just hurt your feelings because I didn't blow smoke up Floyd? I didn't say he was prime, nor did I imply it.. & I don't know what u mean by 'you people'.. I rarely discuss Floyd full stop, & nor am I critical of him. I think I probably have a dozen posts in my entire history on him. I can acknowledge his achievements & ability no problem. Great fighter. You mistook my post for hate. It wasn't..

    Flop.

    Fluid vs Clenelo

    Fluid won when it mattered.
