You're right. Canelo is no threat. He should continue to fight well into his 40s so all the haters can see him lose. He should fight Andre Ward. And then move up to heavyweight. "peeleft:

He wont get out, he loves the money too much. I think he'll end up like the rest of them getting beaten up at the end of his career. I can see him going into his 40's

What Floyd declared?
That "he’ll likely retire after fulfilling the lucrative six-fight, 30-month contract he signed with Showtime"...
Then about what was it about?

So now Canelo isn't a threat? Who should he be fighting then? Fight fans and boxing fans shouldn't mix.
