We don't know what Alvarez ends up doing in his career though.
For all we know, his career could just end up flopping and a Floyd win over him just gets lesser and lesser. But then he can become great and a Floyd win over him becomes greater by the years.
For example, Diego Corrales is seen as one of Floyd's best win to date. A lot of people still mention it as the #1 win, yet Corrales had no real notable opponent before fighting Floyd. It's what Corrales did after that, becoming champ again, beating Casamayor, Castillo, Freitas, being in one the '00 decade greatest fights...that win enhanced after that along with Floyd being underdog in that fight. But let's face it, Floyd won't be underdog ever again for as long as his career last from 147-160.
So if Canelo can become a very good fighter and be champ again after losing to Floyd and keep tearing up every one like he did before losing to Floyd, I think the win can grow.
Well, yeah, if Mayweather beats Canelo then Canelo goes on to become an ATG then yeah it would enhance his legacy down the line.
But as it stands, it wouldn't. And in all honesty, I really doubt Canelo will ever achieve that much in his career.
