That's the dilemma for him: do I lose one zero for many-many zeroes?That's a tough one, although if you are about legacy and confident that you are not going to blow your enormous fortune like Mike Tyson did, then skip the fight and cherish that "0".

Canelo’s career isn’t even finished, so if you want to make fair comparisons we would have to choose PRIME Floyd at his highest weight meeting Prime Canelo at his lowest weight, hence a theoretical catchweight. Floyd at 23, aside from Hernandez, whom were his difficult challenges as Canelo’s resume at 23?
You just have to compare fairly, and no one thinks Floyd could beat Canelo now. That’s ridiculous. Canelo could probably make 157 at lowest, unless Floyd agrees to a particular dieuretic allowed for Canelo without penalty. Floyd walks around 165lbs. Floyd could do 158lbs. But would he want to? And is it fair?
Solid post. The resume of everyone else at 23 is a joke.
Canelo was a baby facing one of the best fighters ever at 23. Was obviously not ready and not a fair fight.
