    If Khan Beats a Prime Canelo Does It Surpass Every Win On Floyd's Record?

    Canelo fought Floyd when he was still green, at a weight-drained 152 catchweight but since then he's improved and could now be considered in the prime of his career.

    Floyd fought some big names, Pacquiao, Cotto, Canelo but they were never in their prime, so the question is, if Khan pulls off the upset against a prime, non-weight drained Canelo at the peak of his career, is it fair to say that's actually a better fighter than any opponent Floyd Mayweather's been in the ring with?

      I would say yes actually.

      For three reasons:

      1.) Khan is nowhere near as good as Floyd
      2.) He has jumped two weight classes and it is even debatable as to how strong Khan is at 147.
      3.) The guy he is fighting is world class

      It would be a worldie win maybe one of the best by a British boxer ever. I would qualify this by saying that I believe this in the main due to a very strong belief that Khan will get absolutely smashed to smithereens.

        So a bigger upset, yes, but not a better win.

          It is subjective I suppose. For me it would be. Due to the fact that it would be such an upset.

          I haven't thought Floyd might lose since OLDH. Every single fight Khan has I think he might lose.

                So sad that Khan has no chin or defense (besides holding), which in turn makes him vulnerable to bums lmao.

                  This is prime Canelo? So there is no chance that Canelo can improve as a boxer?

                  Interesting...... this is why Ignore any talk of "prime".
