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

[bojangles1987]

No, he was coming off of a 16 month layoff, and two training camps due to a failed Berto fight

It was a terrible fight.

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

I really thought the Ortiz fight was an underrated risk he took.

Ortiz ******. I to this day don't understand how so many people bought into him being a threat. Decent fight to take, but he was no more legit than Guerrero.

Canelo lovers are blind and overhype their young one.

Here is the true ranking:

1. Cotto - Not at his peak, still gave FMJr. his toughest fight EVER.
2. Mosley - Well pass his prime. Landed hard on the 2nd round, after that, total domination by FMJr.
3. Ortiz - Young, dumb, could have been an interesting fight.
4. Guerrero - Taken to school. Completely embarrased by FMJr.
5. Marquez - KO'd several times, was bloaded, and not his self.
6. Canelo - Young? Unproven, hyped beyond hype.

My prediction is that Canelo will be schooled like Guerrero, but FMJr. will land more and it will be clear. Canelo will be afraid of letting his hands go after FMJr. counters him a few times. He will be gassed by the 5-6 round and will be stopped <11 rounds. TKO on cut/eyes swelling.

AWESOME! I've noticed that ex Puerto Rican champs retire with their face intact.

Jose Luis Castillo Gave Mayweather his toughest fight sincr he arguably won dumb ass quitto clearly lost 9 rounds

Ortiz ******. I to this day don't understand how so many people bought into him being a threat. Decent fight to take, but he was no more legit than Guerrero.

He was 'actually' coming off of an impressive win, where he showed heart, skill and determination. Things they said he was lacking because of immaturity.

It was the fight that changed peoples perception; at least for one fight. He bulked up, moved to 147 looking big, strong and fast. Again he was REALLY coming off of a big win; unlike Mosley who was coming off of a near 2 year layoff and multiple training camps...

At the time, EVERYONE said that Ortiz was finally absolved of his quit job against Maidana, looked the part of a killer and was a lefty, a type of fighter Floyd has been accused of ducking.

Sure revisionists history mucks up what was really being said. It's not Floyd's fault Ortiz left his brain at home the night of the fight.

Oh well, it's easy to point at Ortiz now in 2013 and crack jokes. For that period, he was a legit threat. Just like Canelo is now. If Canelo proves he is the real deal (and he kinda already did by beating Trout) and is successful against Floyd, whether he wins or loses, I'll put him at #2, or even #1.
