I understand there is some controversy in the decisions against Trout and Lara, but I believe he won them both. Neither were robberies in the sense where the wrong person got the decision. It was the judge's scorecards that created the controversy.
Also, I see the Mayweather fight almost more like the master teaching the student who was clearly not ready. Like a learning experience more than a loss, like it would have been if Lara or Trout or whoever else would have beaten him. (Obviously not saying he didn't lose, just my view on the loss)
His future looks bright as well. Being that he seems to be one of the few out there who really wants to fight the best that there is.

You say that as if Floyd fought a fully hydrated and healthy fighter that night. Smh. Floyd may have won anyways, but maybe not. Did you see Canelo in his very next fight? Against Angulo? He looked like a totally different fighter who threw with speed, power, intelligence, and stamina. Now, please tell me you at least, respectfully agree?

canelo was clearly draining himself to make 154 before he fought floyd. the trout fight was a clear signal and floyd took advantage and drained him even more. canelo's fights after floyd have all been above 154.
If they fought again, Canelo would win. He didn't have the energy to attack Floyd because he was afraid of gassing out. He actually did well boxing Floyd in spots, especially with the jab. He is a very intelligent fighter who can adjust in the ring. Real boxing fans KNOW it wasn't a fair negotiation by Floyd and that it wasn't a fully functional Canelo in there, that night.

He has been guided well by his handlers, taking a 15 year old and keeping him active and slowly increasing the level of the competition..
Some may complain about the lack of quality opponents has he moved up the ladder but you gotta remember he was a teenager and being 20 yrs old and beating guys like baldomir, Rhodes, n'dou, hatton is perfect for a young fighter and is much better than the guys that wilder or Russell jr, etc has fought...
Canelo's level of competition has been super since he fought at the world class level..
Fighting undefeated trout in a unification
Undefeated Floyd for Unification
Rugged angulo
Tricky Lara
In four straight fights is a very impressive feat.. Regardless if the fights were close with Lara and trout, no way can they be considered robberies..
