I don't think Floyd beats this Canelo Nearly as easily. These Canelo's are so different.

His prime to me will always be when he was PBF.

 

How many weightclasses does Mayweather have to move up ? He won titles in 5 different weightclasses.

I'm sorry I don't feel much sympathy for Canelo who's also been guilty of draining fighters, and has had A side judging in all his close fights and even some that wern't close like Bivol, Mayweather.

As I said people are creating a fantasy scenario to make Mayweather move up unfairly to a weightclass he never fought at so in their fantasy match up Canelo has a chance. What they don't realize is that doesn't make Canelo better it just means Mayweather who's not a big guy could never realistically make Middleweight or Super Middleweight limit.

P4P at their best weight Mayweather is light years ahead of Canelo.

How about we pit Canelo vs some of the ATGs at Super Middleweight like Toney ? Calzaghe ? Jones ? If hes so good at Super Middleweight. How many of these fights does Canelo win ? I think vast majority would believe Canelo would go 0-3.

 

Even though I'm not a Mayweather fan I have to acknowledge that he did really well at fighting and succeeding at 154, which he really had no business being in, in the first place. 160, let alone 168, is patently unfair to him. On the other hand people expose their fanboyism in thinking Floyd could beat 168 Canelo who is more like a ginger gorilla than the fighter he used to be at 154. Golovkin offered to go to 154 for Floyd and Floyd's dad said it best: "My son aint fighting no damn giant".

 

This.

Had Canelo fought Floyd the way Maidana did, I think he would have probably beaten him.

 

I don't think Mayweather beats Canelo at 168 simply because hes too small, that doesn't mean I think Canelo is better than Mayweather. We have weightclasses for a reason and obviously Canelo is naturally alot bigger than the smaller Mayweather who's highest recorded weight was 152.

 

Canelo doesn't fight that way though he fights at a measured pace and has suspect stamina in the 2nd half of a fight.

 

He tried to box with Floyd...bad idea.

Had he went after Floyd more physically and roughed him up more, I think he would have had more success.

As it was, I had him winning at most, two rounds.

 

That's why styles make fights Canelo is a much more skillful fighter than Maidana, but Maidana didn't try to box with Mayweather he roughed him up took it too him. And for quite alot of the early rounds took away Mayweather's superior skillset and made it a dog fight.
