Was Canelo really a "kid" when he faced Floyd?

Canelo’s resume is littered with slow, small, lethargic dead men made to order. Mayweather had gone through the trials of facing other sharp, fast, hungry etc fighters.

    maybe if Canelo was fighting a bum like Genaro Hernandez(like he was for the bum Trout). Sure, enough experience for that. Not a top 2 p4p fighter.
    Lol did you call Genero Hernandez a bum?

          That is what I was getting when I said he did things the hard way.

            Canelo one of the few guys in the sport who continue to get better every fight.
            I think the competition has going down.

              Pro hoes are the best hoes. Don't want some rookie fumbling around.

                He wasn’t as refined but to say that he was green or a kid is downright silly and wack ass excuse.

                Floyd owns him period.

                  40+ year old mayweather gets koed and you know it. 22 or 23 years fighting one of the best ever, he wasn't at his peak yet.

                    41 wins . Against who exactly? canelo was nothing his prime fighting at a lower weight than usual. Against maybe the best ever. Canelo has progressed so much since then tho. Remember most of US had GGG knocking him out brutally?

                      I often wonder, more like always wonder why these threads are neccesary?
                      when Nel o fought the old ssm, and trout of this world they were considered very good wins for nelo at time. Nowadays the standards are higher, where bjs, c alum smith, and plant wins are underplayed. Nel o needs to fight beterbiev and usyk nowadays.
                      he was green kid with Cw.
