I'm not sure if this has been asked before. Since both Canelo and Pacquiao laid an egg vs Mayweather, which of the two would you consider did better versus Mayweather?
Them Versus Mayweather:
Mayweather Against Them:
Looks like Mayweather was more aggressive vs Canelo and more accurate against him than he was vs Pacquiao, but at the same time, Canelo had more success in landing against Mayweather than Pacquiao did.
Other Factors to Consider:
Canelo was just 23 years old, pre-prime, his first big event and I won't say weight-drained but by agreement, he weighed in 2 lbs below the weight limit, and Canelo is naturally bigger than Mayweather.
Pacquiao was past prime, he was a veteran in terms of big fights/events, he's naturally smaller than Mayweather and supposedly had a an arm injury.
Score Cards:
Mayweather vs Canelo
116/112 Mayweather
114/114 Draw
117/111 Mayweather
Mayweather vs Pacquiao
116/112 Mayweather
118/110 Mayweather
116/112 Mayweather
Everything considered, what letter grade would you give each Canelo and Pacquiao's performance vs Mayweather?
