Canelo's fight before Floyd was Austin Trout, who recently beat Cotto. If he was good enough to beat someone who beat Cotto, he had what it took to beat Floyd. But he couldn't. No matter how you shape it, Floyd is the only one who has convincingly beat Canelo.
Maidana was coming off a huge upset in beating Broner. Yeah, Broner may have turned out to be a hypejob, but it was a huge deal back then. Maidana wasn't a slouch either.
If we're talking resumes, Floyd has better resumes than MAB, Morales, Marquez, Pacquiao and I love all of them.
