    tbh there's nothing to give Canelo p4p status either. Wins over Khan, Liam Smith and Kirkland.

    Some decision win over a much smaller Cotto at catchweight is suppose to make him a p4p top 10 right now?

    And btw i'm surprised that no one contested that decision on here, I thought it was closer than the cards had it.

      Floyd was outweighed by Castillo by 10lbs, Corrales also outweighed him by 10lbs, Maidana outweighed him by 17lbs, no one will ever know the weight disparity of May-Canelo but it's safe to put Mayweather at 148-150 and Canelo at 165-170 because that's what he weighed at the time when he did show his fight night weight in other fights like Trout (171lbs).
      cmon you are reaching with floyd weight around 148-150 at fight night. that was pac's weight on fight night, i see floyd are little bigger so 153-155 are save guess for mayweather fight night between 2011 to retirement.

        148 was the given weight by Showtime for the Maidana fight. You guys want to believe every weight that is not given for certain fighters, but when the weight is given it's fake, if not, you speculate on same imaginary number you all came up with out of nowhere. You wanna make some fighters small, and others big only when it fits your agenda.

          What do you mean "guy in his prime like Jacobs"?

          Jacobs is a B level fighter at best, who outclassed LLL.

              The revisionist history on this board is astonishing. Before the fight Jacobs was a quick KO waiting to happen. Now he's a p4p world beater. Amazing

                Jacobs is a good fighter, thats it. There arent many world beaters in boxing anymore, especially in the MW division

                    what weight cut?? he stayed at 130 even longer then Mayweather
