Yeah one thing I'll say about Canelo is he's on a steep upward assent and has been for the past 2-3 years.
"People here still can't get it, Canelo is just to fast to counter the bigger slower Kova, Kova would've taken more risks and would've been out of there probably earlier."
Floyd was also an old man, 36 years old when he schooled canelo who also had a 15lb weight advantage. Its also funny how spence is a weight bully yet canelo was drained just 2lbs bellow his usual fighting weight at a catch weight HE asked for. Prime floyd still schools any version of canelo and prime floyd vs that version of kovalev would be diego corrales all over again.
He wasn't green. The term has been redefined to take the shine off the win. Canelo could have fought another couple of guys and he still wouldn't have fought anybody as good as Floyd so that point is bunk. Floyd fought a Canelo who was a world champ , top of his weight class and had just crept onto the P4P list. Green fighters are nowhere near world level , Canelo was clearly a world level fighter at the time.
Its a straw man argument. Canelo had almost as many if not more pro fights at that point that Floyd, plus he was a title holder with 6 defenses under his belt already. Many people back then were picking Canelo to be too big and too young and too strong old man floyd. It was a fantastic victory for Floyd which people still try to discredit to this day rather than give Floyd his proper respect. Its sad really. And anyone who believes Canelo has upgraded his style so significantly since then is high on bath salts. Floyd's style would always trump Canelo. It is true that at this point Canelo beats Floyd, but that is simply do to the fact that Floyd is close to his mid 40s and hasnt been active in several years, while Canelo has continued to beef up to the higher weights
I have zero issues with anyone thinking Floyd beat him, even schooled him, but anyone that truly believes Floyd won every round cannot be taken serious because said person either lacks integrity or has no idea how to score a fight.
only round you could possibly give Canelo is 12, because Floyd did jack ****. He swept the rest easy. Anyone who gave Canelo more than 1 round cannot be taken serious and lack integrity or has no idea how to score. Weren't you liking comments of Shadow trying to justify the draw?
Fights are scored off of rounds. If it was scored off total punches Castillo clearly won. Because Mayweather put enough rounds in the bag before his shoulder injury, it was a fight that could have gone either way. I had Floyd edging it, but wouldn't be mad if you had Castillo winning.
