What Doc tenma said. Floyd would have beaten Canelo anyway, but the catch-weight has been swept under the rug almost completey and Floyd has been given way too much credit for that win in my opinion. Canelo looked awful that night, awful. Especially considering how a healthier and stronger version of him (at 155 pounds) fought against Lara.

Why did Floyd Mayweather demand a catch-weight before he fought Canelo?
