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.
