    My problem with Canelo are gifts against Lara, GGG.
    I 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.

        Floyd had no issue fighting Oscar at the full 154lb weight limit, but he needed that 2 lb advantage vs Canelo. Why?

          He was far from prime. The Canelo today wouldve been more competitive with Floyd. This is prime Canelo but even this Canelo still has weakness and would struggle with fast fighters.

            He agreed to it, whether initially 150 or 152. End of story

              Cause Saul offered 150, then 152. Had he not said anything in the 1st place, there'd be no issue

                Maybe you don’t understand chronological order?

                Let me help you out. Rigo wanted a catch with Loma at 124 back in 2013. When they fought what weight was it? Do you understand the concept of time? Your dumbass brought up 150 as if it had relevance in 2013. Go get that GED bruh!

                  Maybe you dont understand that he agreed to it. Dont matter what other boxers you bring up. Saul agreed, end of story

                    Do you think he would've been competitive with Golovkin back in 2013 ?? How about Danny Jacobs or old Kovalev.

                    Have you not noticed the changes in how he fights now? I can't think of another fighter who's improved so much. He's much more explosive, his defense is way better, he's much more powerful, his stamina is WAY better...and his fighter's IQ is in a completely different league now. He was a decent fighter back then but he is a great fighter now.
                    This is true. I think he has improved by leaps and bounds.

                      If Floyd was active today, he would never mention Canelo`s name.
                      Not that but he is more well rounded and would have walked Floyd down now.
