    Could Mayweather Beat This Improved Version Of Canelo At 155?

    Canelo has gained experience since the Floyd fight, he's an improved fighter. Better defence, punch selection, conditioning and power because at 155 he's fighting at his optimum weight.

    When Floyd fought him at the 152 catchweight, he was slightly weight-drained, slower, sluggish, less well-rounded and maybe even starstruck being in the ring with Floyd, plus he was green and inexperienced. These factors contributed towards it seemingly being one Floyd's greatest performances as he seemed to deal with Canelo easier than many had originally suspected.

    But how does a rematch play out Mayweather vs Prime Canelo at 155?

    Personally I think Floyd may well still beat him, but it's a much closer fight and Canelo might come out victorious with a close but controversial scorecard win as he did against Lara.

    Floyd would like you to think that he would beat him...not that he would ever fight Canelo at that weight or without some kind advantage so really who truly knows.

    I think it's more amazing that Canelo even made 152 than the fact Floyd beat him...dude had to sit down for half the weigh in.

      Mayweather does not belong to Middleweight.

      He beats Canelo all day long...
      Weight is not the problem. Canelo's style does not give trouble to Mayweather.

          Yes and rather easily, Floyd is to elusive and agile for Canelo..speed alone will not win against Canelo

            His punch selection is only good against fighters who allow him to set his feet.Floyds upper body movement and counters confused Canelo and shut him down

              exactly...thats like saying if Mayweather would have fought Marquez in 2012 when he kayoed Pac, instead of in 2009 would it have made a difference...no...Mayweather has little trouble beating natural counterpunchers like them

                  Canelo fights the same way he has always fought...he has been a pro almost a decade and is 25...3 pounds isnt going to make you use the right game plan, in his case it was imposing his size, not playing chess with the chess master...duh

                    If there is a rematch I will take Canelo. Likely be btw 155-160, floyd will be 40. Canelo will be super motivated and floyd will be rusty.
