Malignaggi was a better boxer than pac, barrera was a better boxer than pac, mayweather was a better boxer than pac, canelo was a better boxer than pac but pac was the greater fighter in all of them.
On pure boxing and nothing else I give today's Canelo the edge. Over the years he has worked very hard to improve his boxing and has become one of the best boxers in the sport. He was not a great boxer in his young days when Mayweather boxed his ears off. But today he has become and excellent boxer both on offense and defense. Pacquiao is a bit wild and a hard attacker and he gets hit more than Canelo gets hit these days.
I agree with this, but Pac's footwork I still give him a big edge. Jab I give him the edge too.
