    I think Nelo should be buds last fight. So I think bud needs to get some fights outta way first. Boots, Tim, and then Nelo. If he beats Nel o then retire. If he loses to nelo, the maybe another fight after to end on win

He hasn't fought another Mayweathyer, Plant and Bivol are movers one beat him the other nearly did, Floyds style and conditioning would beat him again.
      Let’s say that hypothetically we pit a prime canelo, circa Golovkin 2, vs prime Mayweather, whenever that was. Want to know who would win? Nobody! Mayweather would stay as far away from canelo as he did from Paquiao for 7 years! That was Mayweather’s whole operation. And he caught a superbly inexperienced, young and weight-drained Canelo, knowing darned well he was on his way up, so that morons like yourselves would proclaim for the rest of time about how he could beat anyone. But in reality his greatest attribute was his matchmaking. No question about it.

        Canelo 154 doesn't have the strength he has at 160 and above, the style and skills are the same, if Floyd could have the same balanced increase he still wins, its a case of a bigger man fighting a smaller man and it was a skill based fight because of Mayweathers ability, the only way he loses is when the size factor does not scale, in other words at 160 you got a slower fat Mayweather that cant move the same and a stronger Canelo, its not hard to work out, you see a Canelo wrecking average big guys and think he will run through Mayweather, only a 160 fat slower Floyd, Floyd scales the same he wins, its not skills that Canelo improved its lower comp and more power.

        If it was Floyds matchmaking who has a better resume inside his era?

          It’s complete bulls#it to try to claim that Canelo’s skills didn’t improve. It’s just a complete fabrication.

          Regarding resume, big names on there don’t paint the whole picture. Mayweather fought almost exclusively big names past their prime. Heck, he waited until pacquiao got KTFO before fighting him. Castillo was in his prime and he straight up loss to him.

            Of course Nelo improved. Before losing to Bivol, people thought Nelo had to fight at cruiserweight to be challenged. When Nelo lost to Floyd, people were unsure if Nelo would just dissapear. Nobody would have guessed Nelo would have went onto have the career hes had since he lost to Floyd.
            People thought Floyd exposed Nelo, but in reality Nelo was drained and green.

                Lol, a few little tricks he learned from Floyd, if its so obvious why cant you describe where his skills have improved this great leap.

                You don't paint the whole picture, youre just another parrot spinning a worn out narrative, Manny ducked him you idiot and used a PEDS test to do it, or more so Arum, and Floyd was not in his prime when he beat the guys youre crying about, its always the same deal with haters they sing BS they cant back up.

                  .
                  The Nelo floyd best weren't scary. The Nell who best GGG, kovalev, claim smith, saunders and plant was.

                  Why don't you explain how the jmms, hatton, cotto, ssm, and dl h that floyd beat were better than versions pac beat?

                    Enough said, just one made up story after another. Let me guess, 9/11 was an inside job right?
