    Canelo was literally in his prime. Floyd's prime ended at 140................he wasn't prime at 147, he wasn't prime at 154..............Ion see why we have to keep revisiting this.

    Prime Canelo lost to post prime Floyd, he was dominated and schooled by post prime Floyd. Sometimes **** like that happens

    Mosley declined due to Oscar, his boss at the time, getting his shot at floyd. Or did you believe the dentist excuse. :lol:

    Besides, that's just ONE GUY...

    The hate here, for the GOAT, is just absurd. Money's pretty much always got more haters than fans in most communities, but the mental gymnastics I've seen here to give that man absolutely no credit is amazing. It's so bad I'm betting a considerable sum of users stopped reading as soon as they read GOAT = Money and so they won't read this bit where I confess I am purposefully provoking their ire.

    But you mentioned Mosley as a boxer who Floyd ducked knowing damn well that it was other way around. So you're a liar and proud of it, lol. Typical.

    Doesn’t even matter who was at what stage. Canelo is a dumbass who tried to box with Mayweather. Even a 45 year old Mayweather would beat a 23 year old Canelo if that was his dumb game plan.

    I'd say Canelo and this is coming from someone who dislikes Mayweather. Mayweather didn't exactly look great against Maidana in his next fight, although that could be because Maidana is awkward. Canelo isn't awkward at all and while I think he did get better after 23, he's basically the same fighter he was back at 23, except maybe his defense is a little better and he has more experience.
