How Canelo was too green for Floyd?

[Larry the boss]

I remember vividly in 2013 how mofos accused Floyd of ducking Canelo lol. matter fact those threads are still here if u search. they said Showtime "forced" Floyd to take the fight. Canelo was not green. that beating was the best thing to happen to him. look how much he's learned from it.

they even said he was wearing glasses because he was afraid to look at Canelo in the eyes

[Larry the boss]

he had only fought one decent fighter at that point and barely beat austin trout. do you think canelo would struggle with trout now? add on top of that he was a drained zombie at 152 when he could barely make 154 and you have a dead man walking.

barely make 154?? he was 153 the fight before

Canelo is not green, but is not fully tested yet despite 42 wins or so. Canelo has become so much better since then.

Being 23-years-old with 42-0-1 record and 8 (EIGHT!!!) years of pro experience if:

21-years-old Fernando Vargas with only 17 pro fights and only 2 years and 9 months of pro experience wasn't too green for Winky Wright?

22-years-old Muhammad Ali with only 19 pro fights and only 3 years and 4 months of pro experience wasn't too green for Sonny Liston?

23-years-old Evander Holyfield with only 11 pro fights and only 1 year and 8 months of pro experience wasn't too green for Dwight Qawi?

Of course, Saul has become better since 2013, but lets not act as if his age and lack of experince were the main factors that enabled Floyd's lopsided win. The different in skills was the main factor of Floyd schooling Canelo so badly + his style being the hardest one for Canelo - he always looked less than impressive against slick boxers and always will

what he said !

we all know what fanbase desperately tries to discredit that win

and we all know why

[aboutfkntime]

People just say that to discredit Floyd. If floyd was the 23 year old fighting the 35 year old he would get criticized for fighting the much older person.

and this ^^

if the ages were reversed, the usual muppets would say that Mayweather only fights old men

actually, they would have insisted Floyd waited for him to get old

[aboutfkntime]

Because after Floyd drained TF out of Canelo at 152, Canelo never fought at 154 ever again.

bullshlt, he made 154 three years later

like I said earlier... the usual idiots will turn up talking shlt

[daggum]

barely make 154?? he was 153 the fight before

you know damn well he didnt belong at 154 and was hiding there so he didnt have to fight ggg. you think he wanted to figth at 155? he certainly didnt want to fight at 152

[daggum]

bullshlt, he made 154 three years later

like I said earlier... the usual idiots will turn up talking shlt

and how many times after that or even before that did he make 152?

[daggum]

same way Manny was to old..even tho 5 years later he is still world champ, ranked top 10 p4p and was in the running for fighter of the decade

Same Way Jmm was to small but a great win for Manny years later and then he ko'd Manny

Same way Mosley was "old" But Floyd was damn near the same age when he fought Manny

Its call biased ass posters............

yeah because every fighter ages at the same rate larry...roy jones was done when he was 35 so that means every fighter is done at 35? hopkins was great when he was 43 so every fighter is great at 43? did you watch mosley fight against floyd and his subsequent fights? if you can't see he was done i dont know what to tell you.

you know damn well he didnt belong at 154 and was hiding there so he didnt have to fight ggg. you think he wanted to figth at 155? he certainly didnt want to fight at 152
