    Question For Boxing Fans: Has Canelo Genuinely Improved Since Fighting Floyd?

    Greetings,

    So, as the title states, I'd like to know from boxing fans whether or not you feel Canelo has shown any improvement since fighting Floyd, regardless of how big or small said improvement is, and if he has improved, is the improvement considerable enough that if he fought Mayweather at Caneloweight? (155)

    No trolling please, because this is a genuine question.

    Discuss!

    Please Note: I'm referring to pre-retirement, active fighter Floyd, not 40 year old, not-so-good-at-promoting Floyd.

    Yes and No; he's improved, but not enough to beat Floyd.

      Yes. for starters, he's not fighting as a weight drained zombie anymore, like he did against Floydette

      That alone is a huge improvement. the guy was unable to even make 154 anymore at that point, much less a cowardly bs catchweight of 152

        When Floyd fought nelo. Nelo had no resume, had beaten noboidy and was probably PFP about 40 in the world. He was bigger than Floyd though that's what made it interesting. But Floyd drained an y advantage away from nelo.
        At least nelo has beaten a few people since Floyd loss. So you assume he has improved

          yes. floyd's style would still be wrong for him becuase canelo is primarily a boxer and counterpuncher himself, but he has made a ton of improvement. he was also a young guy when he fought floyd, and looked like a starving young guy when he weighed in at 152

            Yes I think Canelo has improved since Floyd. Still if Canelo fought Floyd again I still think he would be taken to school.

              No. We saw that in the Lara and Khan fight.

                The fight was years ago, he didn't fight like he was drained, he simply got outclassed by a better fighter


                The guy weighed 153 just before this fight n never fought over 154 prior....crybaby Floyd haters lol

                  He has matured in the ring, and his timing is a lot better

                    Stop lying. He looked like a cancer patient at weigh in

                    He was weight drained at the press conference

                    they had to bring him a chair because he couldn't stay up

                    he fought lethargic and gassed after the 6th round

                    Canelo has been traumathized ever since, that's why he created Caneloweight right after the Floyd match

                    when they asked a couple years ago about a possible catchweight fight with Pacquiao, Canelo said:

                    NEVER AGAIN. Pac needs to come to my weight. I learnt my lesson with Floyd, I'll never fight outta my weight class again.

                    Canelo is refusing to concede any weight advantages ever again after the coward Floyd punked him
