If Floyd fought Canelo @ 160, which round would Nelo KO him?

Yep. Does anyone else remember nelos trainer saying it was like watching a man beat a child? I don’t care to speculate about a comeback fight at sum higher weight. We know Nelo was well over 160 in ring vs Floyd. My brother always reminds me that Canelo was 23 and not as young as sum like to remember in their heads. Canelo had it close with Cotto also. I like Nelo and think he’s improved a lot, especially his footwork, defence, and he doesn’t step back have to reset as often. Still I don’t see Nelo going purple ( F1 term ) or throwing 100 punches in a round even if he had to. He always takes a round or two off somewhere. I’ve never seen him badly cut. One day he might run out of time and not get the rub like he used to. I’ll also admit to him being the current Pope. He doesn’t “HAVE” to do anything. Extra credit to fight BJS in UK.Lol. Training don't count.
Anyway Floyd pretty much schoo;ed Canelo when they fought he could hardly touch him and now you think he would set a trap for Floyd and knock him out.
I don't think so but that's what this forum is about different opinions.
Your right Nelo would have to k\o Floyd to beat him but I just can't see Money getting tagged.Comment

I agree Canelo has learnt alot since he went thru the Mayweather school but too many IFS to call a fight between the two without knowing exactly what the rules of the fight would be.Comment

- -The reason Canelo first fought at 155 was Cottos demand for that catchwt.Sure he has. He’s touched the canvas in sparring multiple occasions. And he touched the canvas in the Zab fight. And he’s been rocked by Shane Mosley before but clinched to save himself, and he’s been rocked by Manny too.
Canelo just KO’d Kovalev, he would knock the FUG outta Floyd. But Floyd wouldn’t fight him. No chance.
The other times was Marketing while staying in that zone for the TUE 51-0 rematch who refused to fight GGG at 154.
Boy ain't fighting at 160 unless it's the Tenshin rematch!!!Comment

These are all the reasons Floyd should rematch nelo. If Floyd can overcome adversity and beat nel o when nobody gives him a chance.I would say if Floyd indeed came back to fight in 2020, and it was against Nelo @ 160, Nelo would KO him in round 7 or 8.
As strong and experienced as Canelo is now, and with Floyd being 45 years old when they fight, he’s not making it past 8 rounds. Canelo lays him out inside 8. One nasty body shot all it’ll take.
Then Floyd will be even better than we thought as many thought he was a cherry picking, overrated home fighter getting as many advantages he can get.Last edited by hugh grant; 12-26-2019, 04:40 AM.Comment

At the time of the fight, a lot of well respected boxing reporters where picking against Floyd Mayweather 'That fight was Mayweather's last great performance, where he really separated himself from the rest of the boxing world in terms of performance'Yep.
