What did Canelo "learn" from the Mayweather schooling?

He learned he’s not as good a boxer as he thought. He’s a powerful fighter, and him imposing that is him at his best. I think Canelo only hit prime after Golovkin I.Comment

So you think the Canelo that fought Trout is no different 7 years later? SMH you straight hating. Lol.So if he didnt fight froid, how do you see his fights with lara ggg and jacobs going? Would he have performed worse or the same?
Nailed the first part.
But the second part i agree with as well. It just seems canelo has no second gear or killer instinct if you will. Hes content with just going with a decision and fights at a regular pace with no urgency.
Lmao cmon man lets not act like canelo didnt get giftsComment

Nobody is saying that Canelo was without skill before Floyd. But the tweaks Alvarez made after that fight have taken him to another level.Nope. Like I said, Motivate Media or Boxing Legends made a video on Canelo’s style since a teen. He’s always done pull counters. Pull counters are a choice to be in range, not something you mimic or learn. It’s basic. Pocket defense like Whitaker is something else. That’s a craft based on seeing movement from your opponents legs.
Canelo has been doing pull uppercuts and Floyd’s style before the Floyd fight happened.Comment

I really don't think he has changed in any appreciable ways. He's the exact same fighter with the exact same style, he is just more seasoned. He had huge problems with the closest thing to Mayweather he fought since in Erislandy Lara. Throw that Mayweather in front of him again right now and the result wouldn't be any different.Comment

The way I see it he learned that there was several boxing levels and class between him and Mayweather. Essentially meaning that he was not nearly as good as he thought he was and that there was still a lot of work that needed to be added to his game which he has done since then.
Without that schooling he very well could have become overconfident like he was prior to then and taken the Golovkin fight too early. He was never going to beat Mayweather, who is one of the best to ever do it, at the age of 23. That alone showed his own personal arrogance.Comment
