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

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Yes he has improved vastly in ring generalship.

Who cares about beating Floyd since Floyd is old, retired and it would be at 155,,, I would favor canelo

[j0zef]

He's improved tremendously, but I still think Floyd schools him, especially in a rematch having that experience. It's just a horrible stylistic matchup for Canelo. He still has those cement feet and will always struggle against movers.

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

He fought the way he always does....flat footed trying to time shots n pick his spot.....the game plan ******... He should've tried to impose his size, cut off the ring

[Eastcoast]

He's gotten bigger, but I don't see where's he much better.

He still looks like a guy who'd go the distance with Trout.

That's all he could do, he was weight drained

if he had tried to press the action and be more aggresive and impose his size on Floyd, he would have gassed much sooner, nor to mention that's not his style

people act as if Floyd schooled Canelo from beginning to end, that's bs.

the first half of the match was competitive, with Floyd winning the rounds by just a couple punches and mainly due to a big difference in speed. Floyd took control after the 6th round after Canelo's stamina started to wane.

That been said, Floyd is a bad style for Canelo, too elusive for a flat footed fighter like ginger, and a better counterpuncher too. Canelo needs aggresive fighters in order to shine.

Even if Canelo hadn't been zombified, I dont fancy his chances against a focused Floyd. The match would have been way closer but Floyd would have probably outpointed him anyway. Floyd would have ran a marathon that night, though

Bruh....he got outclassed


Excuses are for losers
...after contracts signed all excuses are null....he weighed 153 vs trout ...come on man

[Caught Square]

I would pick him to beat Floyd now but not because he's improved imo, but because of how Floyd has detoriated since their fight and been retired around 18 months... too old and small.

Canelo was always really good and Floyd had to be extremely sharp to do what he did that night.

[boliodogs]

I think he has improved a lot and continues to improve with every fight. I think his power, accurate fast combinations and vicious body punching would beat Mayweather.

[Madison Boxing]

what evidence is there for people to say 'yes'? Thats not rhetorical, i want someone to give me an answer cause i keep asking but not getting a response. His footwork still looks like a pile of steaming manure to me and it was his footwork which meant he struggled to badly against mayweather. Lara is a budget version of mayweather and many thought he beat canelo so had he really improved there?. He looked pretty slow and sloppy against khan until the inevitable ko. He beat the rotting propper up carcass of miguel cotto but didnt trout beat him 119-109 not long before? So whats that proved? People just keep spouting this bull**** that 'canelos not the same fighter he was against floyd' but theres nothing really to back that up. He was a veteran of 40 odd fights when he fought floyd and had been a pro since 15 (i think). The fight was such a big event because of how canelo had looked in the fights previously, people thought he was a really good fighter who had a chance. He wasnt some prospect. Swear when you actually try and dissect peoples opinions on here a lot of the time here its just baseless or agenda driven.

I do believe I mentioned that I was referring to the active fighter version of Floyd bruv.
