    Where does Canelo rank among Mayweather's opponents since his return?

    I want to know how you rank Mayweather's level of opposition since his return from "retirement" this past 4 years. Just want to see everyones input, I'm curious.

    I want to know which Mayweather opponents you considered the greatest threats. Though I don't consider any of his past opponents big threats like Canelo, I will still list them.

    List in order from Best to worst opposition. I'll start.

    1. Canelo
    2. Mosley
    3. Cotto
    4. JMM
    5. Ortiz
    6. Guerrero

    1. canelo--- young in his prime fighter that is bigger and more powerful

    2. shane-- was the welter champ and had more power, just didnt have the legs to last

    3. ortiz-- had the youth and the power to pull an upset, especially since may was coming off a long layoff

    4. cotto-- past his prime, but fighting at 154,,,, would always give floyd trouble, but floyd is simply better

    5. Ghost-- ghost had a chance to turn it into a dogfight, floyd just wouldnt allow it,,, after the cotto fight, it looked like floyd had no legs left, and guerrero could trap him on the ropes and pull a JLC,, but floyd looked super sharp and ghost stood no chance

    6. JMM-- never once did i think that jmm would have a chance a beating may,,,, styles make matchups,,, and there is no way a slower, older, smaller, weaker, shaky defense, lightweight counterpuncher was going to outbox and counter the bigger, faster, younger, more powerful floyd,,,, did anyone really think that floyd would lose a fight when he dominated every category and aspect of the fight,,,, JMM excels vs aggressive come forward fighters like manny, diaz, katsisdis and he struggles with boxers like casamoyer, john and barrera,,,,,,
    I honestly gave jmm no chance at all in this fight,,, and i cant understand how anyone would,,, its not that jmm is a bum, its just the fact that some older, slower, weaker, smaller guy isnt going to outbox mayweather....

          Canelo is his best opponent despite the ridiculous catch weight.

          People that are putting Shane at no.1.... Do you realize that Shane was on a 1-year-lay-off, looked horrible against Mayorga (The fight before Margarito) and was 39 years old?

              Before the fight was made, I would've put Canelo at the top of this list. Since the announcement of the fight, I have now rehashed my thoughts and came up with a dozen reasons as to why he's at the bottom of the totem poll of such list..

                  C0tt0 is pr0b 1 0f the best he's b0xed his entire career!

                  Shane was sh0t!

                  I expect the mexican t0 give him a t0ugh fight, tr0ut is a very awkward b0xer t0 beat but i'm n0t sure he has it t0 bring it c0nsistent

                    1. Canelo - Young skillful lion with the second best hit to not get hit ratio in boxing and good explosive power
                    2 Ortiz - Underrated and gave Floyd a good fight before he lost his mind
                    3. Cotto - Intelligent, good jab and well poised compared to other Floyd opponents.
                    4 Mosley - Dangerous fighter with good power and made Floyd do the stanky leg
                    5 JMM - Celever fighter but styles make fights and Floyds style is a nightmare for someone like JMM
                    6. Guerrero - Slow sloppy bum
