    Ginger has slightly improved since after fighting Lara and attempting to bite his style.

        Why has no one else had such an easy time with Canelo?

            People really try to make this fight disappear and discredit it

              This was a great performance by Mayweather.

                I think you do Floyd a disservice by calling it easy, the fight was actually really competitive especially the first 8 rounds. It was one of those fights with really competitive rounds, but one guy wins most of them.

                Canelo obviously fought the fight too early and with the wrong strategy. Oscar and GBP probably thought it was worth the risk because of the financial reward and boost in profile win or lose.

                But people forget that the Trout fight was close, despite what the judges said, I think that was about his level then. Floyd just a bit too much of a jump in level. I think he was better for the experience though (Trout & Floyd). I think he would have lost to Lara had he not had those fights.

                The only guy I see being able to beat him wide like that again is BJS. I don't think any of the other fighters have the style to do it. GGG might beat him, Charlo might beat him, Jacobs might beat him, but not wide like that.

                  Maybe cause he was 22?? Lara and golovkin both beat him as well and he also had a hard time with trout where most people thought he lost.. he’s just not that great most overrated fighter there is

                    Yeah, I mean...two pounds? Green?

                    Lord. To be fair, they always try to discredit.
