Please explain why you state that, because to me it makes no sense. I actually believe Canelo would KO Mayweather Jr. in a similar fashion as he did it vs. Khan, because:
1) Canelo was way too green, naive, inexperienced to face Mayweather when he did (HE NEEDED to have faced both Lara, Cotto and Khan FIRST, to get used to defensive-running opponents, very difficult to hit, and realize that he can easily take their punches, so he can confidently get close to them and pound them in mid-close range). That fight with Floyd happened just too soon, for the convenience of Floyd of course, but Canelo couldn't refuse his best pay day ever and such huge exposure.
2) Canelo had to drain himself to 152 to meet Floyd's requirements. He looked unhealthy, like a corpse during the weigh-in, similar to Christian Bale as Trevor Reznik in the film "The Machinist". At that time, more than three years ago, Canelo had way less power and accuracy in his overall punching skills, specially his body shots. So he was no huge KO threat like he is now. Couple that with being a walking corpse at weigh-in and being utterly inexperienced, and you had a piece of cake for Floyd and a huge boxing lesson for young-naive Canelo, as a result.
3) Canelo's general ring IQ has increased a lot, as well as his overall power-punching power and accuracy, as mentioned before. His jab is much better too. He was toying with a confident Cotto who had previously KO'd real middleweights such as Sergio Martinez and Daniel Geale. By toying I mean that Canelo was purposely walking into Cotto's punches with no respect at all for Cotto's power. He did the same with his next opponents and he had done that with his previous ones, after facing tricky Floyd.
4) Canelo is just reaching his peak, whereas Floyd is gonna be 40, and has already shown distinct signs of aging in all his last fights, specially the two vs. Maidana and the one vs. Pacquiao. If both Maidana and Manny stunned him, and their punching power is evidently way smaller than that of Canelo, just imagine what will happen when Canelo starts pounding Floyd relentlessly in the body and finishes him off punching him in the face.
I've explained four sensible reasons why Canelo would terminate Floyd by KO in a rematch, at 154 or 155. What are your reasons to believe Floyd would defeat him again?
