    Canelo was a zombie in that fight, he had no sharpness due to being weight drained,
    What were the ring weights ?

      The thing with CW fights, a guy doesn't have to accept if they feel so disadvantaged

        The conversation isn’t prime vs prime. The debate is IF Canelo was prime at 23. You already said your opinion, but if Canelo critics say he was prime at 23 then he is Ultra Prime today?

          My take on it is he was neither. He was experienced enough where the outcome was legit. Whichever way it went.

          Out of curiosity, though
          Where would it take place ?



          Fellas, PRIMES has to be BOTH guys conditions

          People thinking May was born prime and is still prime

            Fighters hit their primes at different age and weight classes. Floyd wasn’t in his prime either, canelo has improved a lot since the floyd loss. If they were to fight at 160+ then canelo wins

              So much for a prime vs prime fight

                If you think canelo was in his prime at 23 you are one ****** idiot. Unlike all those guys mentioned Canelo did not have a loooong amateur background he learned on the Job like a lot of Mexicans do. And at only 23 he went up against the number 1 p4p fighter of the time. Im a huge Benitez Liston fan But neither was at their peak or best when they faced Ali and Leondard.

                againt if you think a 23 year old dehydrated canelo was at his best then I’m pretty sure you’re the ones giving Floyd these passes for fighting 118lb Japanese boys and you tubers.

                  People i mprove at different rates. The diffdefence between 23 year old Floyd and 30 year old Floyd probably isn't much different. Floyd trained in that style from 5 years old.
                  doesn't matter nel o had 40ish fights against bums, so did wilder, where did that get wilder?
                  Floyd fought the version of nelo, that struggled against Matthew hatton, cotton younger brother and the trout of this world.
                  Nowadays nel o would look amazing against those former opponents including floyd

                    Great points.

                    you can easily shut TS up by saying well then guys like Matthew Hatton and Jose Cotto must be greats too because they did better against canelo then Jacobs, Kova, Smith, bjs etc.

                    all you need is to take one Look at how canelo looked against those guys to see he was nowhere near his prime yet.

                      In order for Nelo to beat the May he fought, Nelo would have to weigh how much ?

                      I'm guessing the difference would be more than 2 lbs
