Floyd is an opportunist, but he almost always fought guys that normally were coming off big wins, undefeated, or were highly ranked at the time. Hatton was unbeaten, Mosley was the #1 ranked welter, JMM was #2pfp, Ortiz was the champ beating Berto who was champ for two years, Guerrero was highly ranked and had not lost in 7 or 8 years, Canelo was unbeaten. (a few examples)
Canelo challenged Floyd, and offered to even go to 150 to get the fight in the year prior to when they fought. They settled at 152. Canelo only weighed 153 in the fight before he fought Floyd. Guys like B-Hop said it was a 50-50 fight since Floyd was 36. It wasn't the size or age that made the difference, it was the skill level.
