    I think he improved over the years. He got more done with less effort.

    You should know by now PBF was never green, and never past prime. He was also never outsized except for like 2 fights because he had longer arms.

    Unfied champ at 154 won WBC,WBA, & WBO Titles
    Unfied Champ at 160 won Lineal, WBC,IBF, & WBA titles
    When he beats Saunders that's Unified Champ at 168 winning WBO, and WBA Titlist
    WBO Champ at 175.
    Most Champ beaten than any active fighter in this generation Canelo if any fighter from this era was an ATG its him

    One of the greatest wins of his career, but FMJ's win over Manny is far greater, even with the speculations and circumstances surrounding that one.
    He has plenty of great wins during the earlier and middle part of his career too, but late in his career, nothing beats his win over Pac.

    that’s an underrated win. PAC has never been that comprehensively outboxed

    That's the only one loss in Canelo's record.

    Devin haney and Teofimo lopez are both 21 years old, they have another 2 and a half years before they turn 23, I guarantee if lomachenko was to beat them in 2 years time when they are 23 and he is 34, nobody will be talking about how green they were. Just like nobody would have been talking about how green tank is/was, Lomachenko would get full credit for all those wins. Floyd was also older than lomachenko will be in 2 years time as well he was 36. But Hey this is floyds life story, Haters NEVER give him credit.

    It's a great example. Many fans forget Pac was the underdog going in to that fight. He didn't close as a massive one (nobody was wagering like it was prime Oscar), but more people going in to that fight thought that Oscar had enough left in the tank, combined with the size advantage, to win.

    They closed at near pick-em odds after Oscar started out a wider favorite.

    Explain how an 8 year pro with 43 fights is green. Seriously! Was Salvador Sanchez green? He was 23 when he died, had about the same amount of fights as Canelo. So, explain how Canelo was green, yet Sanchez wasn't.
