How "green" was Canelo when he fought Floyd Mayweather?

[hugh grant]

Really you just need to look at his competition back then compared to now.
Also look how he struggled at who he fought and beat compared to how dominant he looks now.
Do you see today's Nell struggling with trout or not koing a 40 year old ssm?
He was as green as green tea, as green as hulk

I mean he didnt really have an amateur career but I agree I think he was pretty close to what he is now. It seems like he needed some ring IQ to put it together and from the looks of it after the fight ge seemed to have learn a lot from that loss

A lot of guys have short or no amateur careers, but IMO you can't claim green if you're holding a strap.

He was rated #9 P4P by ring at the time, so he wasn't green, but he was far from what he is now.

He's in his prime today.

Was Mayweather green when he beat Genaro Hernández?

Find a quote made by a fighter or trainer going into the fight where they say Canelo is ready. I remember those days vividly. You’ll find no such quote.

I actually do lol Mosley has never been knocked out in his career and has one of the best resumes ever (and chins). And Canelo obviously struggles with slick boxers anyway. The better question is, what other top level slick boxer has Canelo fought besides Floyd where it wasn't controversial? Canelo IMO is a technical boxer by nature, I don't think any version of him would turn into an all out pressure fighter and go after Floyd for 12 rounds. He'd have to change his whole style.

Amazing at the amount of idiots who incorrectly and ignorantly voted on this poll.

He was an undefeated champion when he fought Floyd. Floyd dominated him and then Canelo went on to win over 10 more fights in a row and drew with GGG. He hasn't lost since fighting Floyd which makes Floyds win better

Yea I dont think he was green either. And that's a fair point, only problem is promoters and sanctioning bodies damn near hand prospects belts these days
