If you’re a Canelo fan you’d probably say he wasn’t in his prime against FM if you’re a Floyd fan you’d probably say the opposite. That’s just how it works.

The boxing media are bunch of **** ass hypocrites when it comes to defining prime. One minute it's number of fights, the next it's age, then the next it's "damage" accumulated over the years. HBO shills were claiming 97G was washed the first time he fought someone who wasn't a walking heavy bag.

He was on a 7 fight unbeaten run. You could criticise pacs wins if Pac s opponents coming off of a loss. But not in unbeaten runs. Barrera was prime. Nelo certainly weren't prime for same reason. He was largely untested and not been in any wars.

Awful thread
Canelo was definitely in his prime he had nearly 50 fights several against former champions, and fight against hall of famer. He also was the champion so if he didn’t want to fight Floyd he should of vacated the belt. He had defended the wbc belt 7 times before he fough Floyd. No one judges prime on how many “wars” you been in LMAO. In fact many boxers would prefer to avoid “wars”. AWFUL post.

When you've had tough competitive fights against the best, you learn you gain experience. Barrera was prime.
Nel o was green behind ears, he fought bums mostly so learnt nothing in all those fights, and was drained
