    Canelo fought a terrible gameplan that night, and had no experience in a big fight like that. He has been showing serious power at 160, 168 and 175 now, KOIng really good fighters.

    Acting like Floyd got even close to the best version of him at his age and at 152 pounds is complete ******ity!!!

So we were harsh in doubting nelo! After Nelo got a few wins after floyd loss, then floyd could rematch nelo.
      why can't floyd fight Nell when Floyd's 40 years old?
      LMAO. I love boxingscene.

        a rush?? he was 36 when he fought him and at the time people on here were making threads claiming he would duck Canelo...they even said he was wearing shades because he was afraid to look into his eyes..wtf...why the hell does Floyd have to fight Canelo at 40???

You can see dominating performances that ended differently throughout boxing history . I think a few rematches with Floyd is risky which is why he rarely took them or did he ? I’m not even sure off hand .
          floyd rematched his 2 closest fights in Maidana and Castillo...not his fault others didnt come close enough to earn a rematch..

            and thinking Canelo fought the best version of Floyd at 150 and 36 is even more ******

              Never seen fans so dumb and hurt, because their fighter lost to the best boxer of his generation. He was never going to win a fight against floyd. He got a few gifts after that, Lara and ggg I. Then went to unified a weak division, definitely not his fault. And his fans think he's better than past greats. Be safe.

                To me this spells stylistic nightmare

                Alvarez didn’t make it tough like Cotto

                Nothing to suggest the outcome would be different if this guy had a bit more experience
                Not to mention that Plant, who is no Floyd Mayweather, had Canelo swinging at air and looking visibly frustrated a lot last night.

                  According to Canelo fans, the perfect time would have been right before Covid. Canelo, 29. Floyd 42 and inactive. Weight at 168.

                    According to them and Pact@rd$, Floyd doesn’t age. He stays in his prime forever.

                      Nobody is saying its the best version, you made that up, the version Floyd beat was a very good version undefeated in 45 fights 10 WT fights , the point is that the time they fought was the only time they could have fought because of the size difference between the two at that point in their careers, best version of Canelo how can it be, like saying the 21 yr old version of Floyd that beat Genaro Hernandez was the best version of Floyd, you talk about people making ****** claims and then make ****** claims.
