Frank talking a lot of complete tosh as usual. Canelo wasn't weight drained for Mayweather, he had a long camp to make 152 and hit the weight before rehydrating. The fight before Mayweather he weighed 153.5, only 1.5lbs heavier, and he boxed very well against Trout.

The Mayweather fight wasn't fought at an especially fast pace, Saul just looked puzzled by Floyd's style and got mastered, plain and simple. Too easy to simply make excuses for him and blame his defeat (and subpar performance) on "being weight drained". The guy was smiling from ear to ear at the weigh in FFS! Didn't look remotely weight drained to me. But of course, it's a ready made excuse - so that's what he now says any time someone brings up the fight, and how he got comprehensively schooled.

Anyway, this fight is a giant mismatch. Canelo puts him to sleep in 5 or 6 rounds in a stunningly predictable one-sided routing.
