    I'd say Canelo given the age and knowing he'd just have to press now, Altho Pac showed his left could still stun Floyd a bit.

    Canelo of course. Still young and in the prime of his career. Having fought Floyd he'd know what to work on to improve/tweak for the rematch.

    First fight was a learning experience for Canelo, he has upside, Pacquiao has seen his better days and he's not at his best weight class.

    How low does Floyd drain Canelo in the rematch?

    Canelo. He can still learn, his career is young. If floyd slipped at all in the past 2 years id give canelo a chance. Pac is declining faster than floyd probably

    Canelo can learn all he wants. He still has lead feet and slow hands. You can learned speed.

    Pac at least won rounds against Mayweather, and stunned him a couple of times.

    Just because Canelo beat a chinless punching bag, doesn't mean he is read for Mayweather.

    Canelo is not a slow fighter his hand speed is actually quite good for the JMW division. Also Canelo gave a tougher fight than Pacquiao, Sual has an argument for 2-4rds Manny won 2/3 rds.

    What? Are you related to CJ Ross?
    No man, Canelo did not win a single round in that fight. You could maybe argue he won A round.

    Nah that 114-114 is some bs, but even as a Mayweather fan I felt a lot of Canelo's bodywork and activity in a few rds gets underrated and that an argument can be made for 4rds.
    Pacquiao won 2 rds at best really, in the very first rds Mayweather jumped on Manny hard and was outboxing/out landing him through 3, he managed a flurry where he missed every punch and won maybe 2 rds.
    Mayweather-Canelo/Pacquiao are really the same fight both tried to box him, only difference is Canelo is a better "boxer" than Pacquiao so he was more competitive over the entire fight.
    Even though Alvarez was losing rds he was still competitive in all 12 rds, Pacquiao was competitive in 3 rds total, and was never in the fight sad but true.

    Pacquiao. Pacquiao's style remains to be awkward and far more difficult to deal with compared to Alvarez. Pacquiao actually stunned and landed serious bombs on Mayweather compared to Alvarez. Alvarez is pretty much a fighter who poses and calculates, that is a style that Mayweather's style always dominates.

    I say Canelo

    I've said that in the past too

    Canelo had a terrible game plan going into that fight

    That and or he was drained

    A rematch at 154 would be interesting

    Pac is 95% shot and Roach is 110% shot.

    So, Canelo.
