Also Floyd stayed good so long becuase his Boxing IQ is iff the charts and he never took much punishment. Plus if you only fight 2xs a year you can stay fresher i guess at that age.
How "green" was Canelo when he fought Floyd Mayweather?

He wasn't green at all but he also wasn't as good as he would later become. In my opinion, Canelo is at his very best right now. If he fought Floyd he would surely KHTFOComment

Floyd beat Pacman and it was like 10-2 lolI agree that there is no shame in losing to Floyd because to do so means you aren’t in your prime and just recently lost heading in. Also means you don’t have a reach advantage and you let the guy sign you up for random drug tests.
You gave him all the advantages. No shame.

I agree with you there.
Floyd still never challenged anyone in their prime. Mosley and De La Hoya would have destroyed the guy. Even Floyd fanatics must understand that when they consider how the old, shot versions of them did.
Fernando Vargas might have beat up Floyd. He was brave af and better/stronger than MaidanaComment

So why did Mosley and DLH duck Floyd ? Floyd called them out since the GATTI fight. Mosley even has the infamous dentist post-fight interview. . .
Prime DLH and Floyd is 50/50 and depends on the weight imo.
The key to beating Floyd was being DIRTY not BRAVE. Floyd got rattled when opponents got DIRTY.

Floyd keeps people in check with his power and timing. You have to be brave in order to roll the dice like Augustus or Castillo. Their gambles payed off time and again.So why did Mosley and DLH duck Floyd ? Floyd called them out since the GATTI fight. Mosley even has the infamous dentist post-fight interview. . .

People who bring up Mosley “ducking” Floyd with that tooth interview expose themselves as young. That was Shane stepping aside so his promoter could have the first crack at Floyd.Comment

Do you think Canelo was terrible against Austin Trout? Because that was a win to unify titles at 154.He was super green. I go back from time to time and watch his old fights and he was TERRIBLE!!!! Lil chunky kid. Had almost zero stamina, defense was sloppy, flat footed and didn't throw neither the combos and body work he puts into today. I wonder without the Floyd loss is this the same HoFamer we see today? I mean go back and watch his Jose Cotto fight....
Also, he fought Jose Cotto in 2010 which was three years before he fought Floyd.Comment

...that was Shane not wanting the fight.
Prime Shane and Prime DLH wouldnt give Floyd the time of day.
Prime Floyd beats prime Mosley easy (with OSDT) and Floyd and DLH are 50/50. At 154 DLH at 147 or lower FloydComment
