      He’s champ in 4 divisions with the bs 68 one, but yeah I get you

            Not on money for sure. I think Canelo has 3 years max, his body is going to breakdown, his knee already is giving him issues. He'll probably be done by 32, not enough time to surpass Mayweather. He won't be a beast at 168 unless he ignores true 168 lbers and makes 160lbers go up in weight.

                Other than when he faced Mayweather I've always rooted for Canelo, I'd like to say yes he does but I don't see it, Mayweather had too many performances where he looked every bit the best fighter of his era.

                      Off Course Canelo can surpass Floyd, its a two way street, the more Canelo does the better Floyds win over him looks, to a point, then it moves into better than Floyd realm and this diminishes Floyds win over him.
