    I would say watch the Canelo-Cotto fight and use that as a measuring stick. If Canelo beats Cotto better than Mayweather beat Cotto I think it would indicate that Canelo has improved enough to beat Mayweather. Canelo would be over two years stronger and Mayweather would be over two years older and further past prime. The rematch would be at 154 so Canelo would not be drained as he no doubt was in the first fight. If Canelo loses to Cotto or just barely beats Cotto then Mayweather would probably beat Canelo again. Rematches don't always go the same way as the first fight. Just because Mayweather beat Canelo doesn't mean he owns Canelo for life. If Canelo beats the hell out of Cotto then I think he beats Mayweather in a rematch at 154. I know I will probably get a few triangle theories don't work. But often triangle theories do work especially if that's all you have to go on. If you believe Cotto is a better fighter when he is trained by Roach then Canelo will be fighting a better Cotto than the Cotto Mayweather beat.

      So, you're basing Canelo's ability to avenge a whipping he took from Mayweather TWO years ago on how well he performs against a fighter that Mayweather beat FOUR AND A HALF years ago?

      Do I have this correct?

        I would favor Canelo in a rematch if it were judged solely by CJ Ross

          Canelo learned a LOT from the Mayweather fight and is a much better boxer because if it.. But I don't think he leaned how to beat Mayweather.

          I think he'd be able to take him in 2017, but Mayweather retired at the right time, so age wouldn't be a handicap and things like that wouldn't happen.

            floyd wasn't even very good when he beat canelo. he was outboxed by manny pac for crying out loud and limited maidana gave him hell and yet canelo couldn't do anything. it was like floyd was tom cruise in edge of tomorrow and knew everything canelo would do before he did it.

              It would end the same way! Beating Kirkland is one thing. Even that Japanese guy ishida beat Kirkland!

              Floyd is a whole other story!

              Waste of time! Only Manny was easier Money!

                Canelo is low-volume and fights in spurts, that style is not going to beat Floyd's defense....

                  Correct! Canelo should fight Manny! But after Floyd beat manny so easily...

                  I don't want to see Mayweather vs Canelo. I will watch it, but won't pay to watch it!

                  In 10 days I will be in Makati! Can't wait!

                  Peace bro!

                    Floyd has never fought Canelo, he fought Drainelo

                    ginger cant even make 154, much less a bs catchweight of 152

                    I'd like to see a fight between Floyd and Canelo for the first time

                    too bad Floyd will never come back, not now that his ped testing will be carefully scrutinized due to his cheating with IVs, lance armstrong style
