    It’s my pleasure to keep exposing you. It’s typical for Canelo haters to just consolidate any bit of information and fumble it out of context when the facts can be searched in chronological order.

    Now go make me a sandwich you dummy! ;
    Only dummy is the saul knob slobber you are making yourself out to be. Saul shouldve just stfu about any cw in the 1st place, but he didnt, then got beat plain and simple. It aint that hard to understand.

      What are complaining about? Lol. The conversation was correcting your comprehension for chronological facts. No boxer honors a catchweight for a duration of 2 years. Lol. You don’t understand boxing “150 in 2011 doe”

        He is considered unbeatable nearly now. Not back then, people didn't know how good he was. When nel o lost to floyd, it was uncertain if nel o would just dissapear?
        He was green and far from prime. Green is relative. If far from prime your green

          Entering his prime years. Floyd was way past his.

            A 30 yr old Mayweather boxes a 30 yr old Canelos head off.

              No shame losing to Floyd.

              My problem with Canelo are gifts against Lara, GGG.

                You must be joking, Floyd would never fight a prime 160 -168 fighter.

                If Floyd was active today, he would never mention Canelo`s name.

                  I'm not joking at all. If all you have is how much bigger Canelo is then the point is already made. Canelo was ALWAYS bigger than Floyd. What he wasn't and will never be is better than Floyd. Two completely different class of fighters. And that's on top of the fact that Canelo is tailor made for Floyd.

                    Canelo was experienced enough and had a lot of fights, went undefeated before facing mayweather. He just hasn't peaked yet and still have room for improvement. Now he is a lot better. He has learned a lot and gotten so good after that.

                      Coming off win over Trout who just beat Cotto

                      How green was he at the time? And how much has he improved since then?
                      Not green.

                      One major difference, he wasn't on PED's back then.

                      Canelo is so popular, the other fighter if he wants a pay day has to sign a contract to skip real PED tests and keep his mouth shut, otherwise no fight and payday, and he'll pick someone else. He also must agree to the " judges " picked.

                      There I said it. To beat him for now, you need to knock him out. Not an easy task. He has good defense, can counter and a good chin.
