Has Canelo really improved since the Floyd fight?

Sorry not in my book

 

Most definitely.

 

Not world class? You be tripping.

 

He beat GGG the second time

 

Yeah, he's in his prime right now. I'll enjoy watching him the next few years.
He was still really good when Floyd beat him though, that was just a great performance by Floyd.

 

He's more or less the same now as then. Only big time Mayweather haters claim otherwise. They act like Canelo was some novice when they fought, which is ridiculous. He does the same things in the ring. He was in no way shape or form "green" and his style had already more or less coalesced into what he uses today.

 

World class = Usyk, Loma, Prime Mayweather, Prime Pac-Man, Prime GGG, etc.

In reality the ginger dude already has 4 losses (Mayweather, Lara, GGG 2X), a draw against an unknown Mexican and a questionable decision against Trout.

He is a good fighter with decent skills but he is not an A+ category boxer. He would lose against Jacobs and probably for the third time against a 38 year old Golovkin.

He is the PPV king because he is Mexican, not because he is P4P No.1

Not to talk about the questionable scorecards, the Mexican beef, the hand wraps, etc.

 

I think he's better at everything you mentioned. I watched that fight again 2 days ago and it was a work of art by Floyd. A virtuoso performance. Among his best, imo. I don't see Floyd even hinting about coming out of retirement to make what would easily be the biggest PPV. Ever. What does that tell you?

 

In reality aka the real world(not this fantasy land some of you seem to live in) Canelo has only one loss and a legit win over GGG plus a better resume and has barely reached his prime. Your biased opinions mean nothing "in reality".
All hate aside, if you really believe Canelo is not a world class fighter, as you stated, you DKSAB.

 

I agree

 

I still see the same kid that stepped in with. Floyd

 

Disagree he's better now trout and lara would stand no chance now

 

20-25 for me along with manny

 

In the real world he won 6 rounds against Mayweather , and 10 against Golovkin in 2017.
He won the rounds against Khan before he knocked him out.

In the real he was eating tainted beef accidentally, and he wasn’t using Clenbuterol

 

...because he moved up and beat a much bigger albeit mediocre guy? So was Miguel Cotto suddenly improved tenfold when he moved up to MW and smashed D-Rod? You think Margarito would've been KTFO in a rubber match? ...or SSM in a rematch? Eh, no. That isn't how that works.

Canelo that fought (and IMO got shut out by) PBF = Canelo that fought (and IMO lost narrowly against twice) GGG = Canelo that whooped Mikey Fielding.

If you want to look at "green Canelo" you're looking all the way back to Canelo that fought Luciano Cuello, and the version that got stunned by Cotto's elder brother Jose.
