I think Canelo is a good comparison he's just not as fluid or fleet of foot as Floyd. Also Canelo is not as impressive to watch defensively, I do find it interesting that Canelo is more influenced by the Mayweather style than Mexican style.
Canelo is alot of things, but dumb aint one of 'em.
The issue is he’s being promoted as the p4p #1 fighter and that status requires more than just winning against opponents deemed inferior. I’m not taking anything away from him except the overhype. Loma didn’t look like p4p #1 against Linares or Campbell.
He gets no credit for shutting down Floyd’s offense because he didn’t shut down Floyd’s offense. The only people who failed to see Mayweather landing clean shots on pacquiao are you d-riders who aren’t taken seriously because you’re just fanboys. The reality is that Floyd shut pacquiao’s offense down to the point that he had to lie and make up an injury as an excuse for why he couldn’t touch Floyd all night. It was a 10-2/9-3 fight.
So Floyd should never have been pfp #1. Congratulations, you played yourself.
this isn't such a feat after you realize he has reach advantage over almost everyone he fights.
Everyone has a reach advantage over someone, if you think this is all Floyd had in how accurate and precise he was youre crazy and only seeing a very small part of Floyd Mayweather.

****** logic
If I carry a longer stick than you I’m going to hit you easier. It’s as simple as that.
Point me to the fight where Floyd got dropped and touched up. The Castillo fights came before he reached #1 p4p.
Congratulation you’re yet another feminine sassy passive aggressive boxing scene poster. You people act just like women lol.
The parameters you set were this, “ The issue is he’s being promoted as the p4p #1 fighter and that status requires more than just winning against opponents deemed inferior”.
Every Floyd opponent was deemed inferior not just by Floyd himself, but his ridiculous fans. Try harder next time.
