    Plant gave him a competitive fight, I think Floyd today still beats him. You can't hit what you can't touch, Canelo would still be chasing him all over the ring and missing. Just too slow and limited.

      Asking Floyd to fight a guy who is good AND in his absolute prime? Wait on it

        2013 Floyd will dog walk 2021 canelo and beat him convincingly.

          2021 nelo will murder 2013 floyd. but i doubt it will happen coz floyd is too smart to avoid real threat fighters. it's either green or past prime nelo.

            I think Floyd still would win, because Canelo is weak at 154 and had to rely on speed / timing. His timing has improved dramatically since then, but I still think he’d lose to Floyd. Of course, at 168 I think Canelo would likely win, just like I think Andre Ward or any of the other elite bigger champs of Floyd’s day would have found a way through vs. Floyd in a hypothetical bout. There’s a reason Floyd stopped where he did, he’s a smart fellow and knew his limits.

              At 160+ Canelo wins but Floyd never fought at 160 or even 155 so its a moot point

                Skill wise Floyd always beats Canelo. He was just that good. It's no shame to Canelo that he lost to Floyd. 49 other people did too and a whole boat load of those are HOF guys compared to most fighters resume

                  People have concluded floyd beat the weakest version of Nelo, all FLoyd had to do was rematch the improved version to prove your theory. But FLoyd and his fans have no problem with people thinking that floyd beat the weakest version. Otherwise theyd want floyd to prove otherwise and that he can indeed beat the scary Nelo.

                    - -Too late. Logan already BTFO Sissyboy, so Canelo has no need for leftovers now

                      Floyd was at retirement age for the vast majority of fighters when they fought the first time and physically smaller. I'm no super fan of either guy. Im a boxing fan that sees the obvious. Canelo CAN BE OUT BOXED. Floyd was a MASTER CLASS BOXER. It's not rocket science or a down play on Canelos ability. Even an old shot Kovalev was out boxing this version of Canelo until he got caught in the 11TH round. Is it possible that a older wiser Canelo could catch Floyd at some point? Yes its possible. I personally dont believe its something I would bet on.
