    Maybe because his juicing beefed him up to a much bigger size

    p4p, any version of Floyd schools any version of Canelo

      Canelo Alvarez has still yet to dominate another elite level fighter. This truly is what sets apart the super great fighters.

      Hopkins, Jones, Mayweather Junior, Pacquiao. The all had the ability to even distance themselves from fellow elite fighters 'At certain points in their careers'.

      That is why Alvarez is a level below those guys in terms of pure ability. But he is still a great fighter, if somebody ranked him pound for pound number 1 right now ? I would have no issue.

        What elite fighter did Floyd dominate. Of course bloating up fighters, draining green fighters, or beating old fighters don't count. So I'm finding it hard to think of even one.
        Just beating fighters with excellent resumes behind them and who are highly rated pfp doesn't make them elite wins automatically. As if nelo beating fighters with zeros is nothing to brag about?
        Nelo could bloat bud up to 160, would it be dominating an elite fighter if he won comfortably? If nelo beats a 40 year old GGG would it be win over elite fighter?

          - - How many x Popkins break down in his sissygrrl tears in a fight? Embarrassing!

          Close to a half dozen. Canelo has been the "away fighter" all of his adult life, never having his own venue like l'l floydy.

          Took ring center 2nd fight to knock GGG back every time he attempted to engage for the 2nd fight for the first 10 rds. First fight he kept GGG moving so he couldn't set up to punch to open him up for Canelo counters. He did this without running unlike l'l Floydy who ducked GGG at 154 and 155.

          What grade is U in now?

            The one that Mayweather schooled, or the one GGG arguably defeated on at least one occasion out of the 2.

              First fight Canelo lost against GGG, and it was obvious.

              BUT, second fight I had Canelo winning a close fight.

                Not as skilled as, Terence “TBE” Crawford.

                  Knocked down by journeyman Kavaliuskas. Canelo could never.

                    That never happened. It was a push down. Terence “TBE” Crawford is invincible defensively.

                      Yeah he is so invincible that got outboxed by semi-blind Brook and gatekeeper Porter.
