How come mayweather doesn't get much credit for beating Canelo?

[Lords]

If funny because the Mayweather haters were saying he'd be too scared to even take the fight. The haters were pushing this fight hard calling Floyd a coward for not doing the fight. Then after Canelo gets destroyed, the win is swept under the rug and/or weight is the excuse.

So wipe half of Caneloweight's resume, none of those fights count.

Did you ever see me defend Canelo vs Chavez Jr. ? No, I even called him the greatest bum of all time.

I'm talking the best match-ups that can be made here, not some amateur or 2nd rate fringe contender. So to reiterate - fight the best at their best.

Did Hearns, Leonard or Duran ask Hagler to fight at 158? Nope, they all fought Hagler at his best.

Canelo was twice mayweathers size AND younger. Mayweather was an old man and made it look easy. It was a brilliant performance.

An EXTREMELY underrated win in boxing history, yet lots of people seem to overlook it....... Why?

I don’t think it’s overlooked at all. It’s arguably Floyd’s best win even though Canelo was just a child and so weightdrained that he had to sit on a stool at the weigh in. Floyd just managed to nick the decision.

People that think Fury schooled Wilder should rewatch this to see what a schooling looks like .

Since when is 23 a child?

Because he cherrypicked Clenelo.
