Could Mayweather Beat This Improved Version Of Canelo At 155?

[therealpugilist]

They actually did say that ****** ****

i never knew gaining or losing weight teaches you how to cut off the ring and not fight the other fighter's fight...how is a kid drained for losing a pound ..he weighed 153 vs trout and had a long training camp as well..friggin know nothing NSB posters man....its some real idiots on this site....uncle roger said it best

Floyd is a master of range, weight isnt the issue, Floyd makes Canelo look silly 100'xs out of 100.

[HanzGruber]

canelo would have to go full maidana mode to beat floyd, not try to out think him

[boxinggod101]

Floyd beat any version of Canelo. Easy win. His style poses no threat to Floyd

[hugh grant]

Canelo would beat Floyd now. He won't beat khan though!
Canelo would still try feel Floyd out and box him. But if that didnt work, in the last 2/3 of the fight he would do a maidana.

Canelo would beat Floyd now. He won't beat khan though!

Care to explain

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.

If Floyd has no access to steroids he can't beat any elite fighter he uses the increase stamina to beat the opponents take a look at the 2nd Madaina fight or even the first which he lost but got a gift with out steroids he loses. Even against Delahoya he out hustled Dela hoya in the last 3 of 4 rounds without his steroids he would have lost too. He's nothing but a Barry Bonds a cheat to improve his performance against people his equal or even less

Mayweather still wins with very little difference from the first, maybe slightly more competitive but not vy much.

IMHO though i think this the most likely fight if Mayweather would return. It would be a huge ppv and get him #50 and the mw title without having to fight at the actual mw limit. The Pacquiao fight let the air out of a rematch being anywhere near as big as it was the first time unless Pacquiao destroys Bradley which i highly doubt.

Floyd will get credit for beating a 152 version. He didn't fsancy a 154 one e so we can assume he didn't fancy his chances.

Khan will hopefully show us how you do it.

this is like asking would pacquiao beat a 147 pound version on cotto.
