Mayweather was beating other all time greats who could only win 3 rounds off of him.
Getting 3 rounds off Floyd was viewed as an accomplishment in itself for the losing fighter.
While Alvarez is a very good fighter he has a DLH problem. They don't dominate when facing very good opponents
Floyd most skilled fighter since Whitaker and Duran. Canelo isn't in that league of ability

Nelo still has many years of career left so his resume will overtake Floyd at any point if not already. Nelo might not have won convincingly like Floyd in many fights. But careers aren't judged by that. Its about who you fought and risks you took. Floyd won convincingly against people who weren't that good in first place or past it names.
FLoyd needed to use his skills against people expected to beat him. He was favourite all the time as he fought people at the right time, or people who were smaller so weren't likely to be favourite like Pac or JMM. He was favourite against DLH as he was old and lost too many times. Floyd didn't take risks whether fighting outside country or whatever.
Floyds made it easy for people to overtake his career and resume.

Nope
Too many gifts, drugs cheat etc.. plus most of his fights end in very close decisions and questionable decisions
Floyd dominated most of his opponents with ease, even if it wasn’t exciting, he dominated Canelo too..

He is just the same. Mayweather fought old washed up guys and many fans felt he lost against Castillo and Maidana.
Yes, Canelo is on Mayweather`s route. Call me when he fights a prime guy in any division.

Skills, no, Canelo's very good but he's not on Floyd's level, accomplishments and money - it's quite possible.

Guys like Tito Trinidad, Roy Jones Jr, Benard Hopkins, Calazage, Oscar delahoya in his prime, Vernon Forest, James Tony WOULD have absolutely SMOKED Canelo.
Then you cat's have the nerve to put this kid #P4P and ATG, TBE ect BS.
