Floyd: I Wasn’t In My Prime When I Fought Canelo; Was An Old Man

[GrandpaBernard]

He made it a tough fight because Floyd decided to stand he has done this a few times in his career, when he decided to box Maidana was an easy beat , Floyd is good enough that he can stand toe to toe or box your ears off he does everything at elite level, he does have a trench dog in him but he is also very ring intelligent .

Maidana and JLC proved themselves with the rematches

with both winning 3 to 4 rounds each in the rematch. Very good amount of rounds to win vs Floyd

I think ATG pressure fighters Armstrong and Duran could beat Floyd without a size advantage

[PeepeePoopooMan]

problem with Canelo is that he has cement feet and nobody can just outbox Floyd. You have to make it a dogfight. Maidana isn't on Canelo/Floyd level but he made it a tough night for Floyd in their first meeting by not fighting Floyd's fight. Canelo would always make it Floyd's fight.

Nailed it. Prime for prime nelo never wins. People keep saying "canelos improved since fighting froid and lara" and im like wtf evidence is there? He was losing to khan before the inevitable ko and he got a gift draw against golovkin a style made for ginger yet he still lost and since then all hes fought are stationary targets

Typical Floyd BS

floyd was in his prime he no doubt about it. Canelo was not he was a 22 yr old who was a forced to starve to 152

[IronDanHamza]

He wasn’t an old man but he was well past his prime at age 36.

Floyd’s prime was from Ndou to Marquez

[GhostofDempsey]

Floyd was closer to his prime than Canelo was. He also was a very well preserved and protected 36, not even close to shopworn.

Possibly they could get the win I doubt Floyd would stand in a phone box I think he would box like a ghost for the entire fight, pressure fighters are not pressure fighters if they cant get to you, love to see it but I wouldn't be betting real money on who wins .

Most fair match I think would be

Floyd who fought dlh vs Alvarez who fought Kirkland

by then Alvarez already faced Lara who moved real well

I still think Floyd gives him fits due to styles

Canelo is coming off his best ever performances NOW not circa 2014-2015. This version of Canelo is prime. We'll see tmrw how much he's improved against moving counter punchers

Billy is not 1/2 what Floyd was, I agree Canelo is better now as in seasoned his technique and style is the same he has just matured, Floyd is just too quick for Canelos style he would be chasing a ghost all night, today's Canelo say he was a WW would be schooled by lets say the Hatton Floyd just the same.

Canelo at 160 defeats any version of Floyd
