Floyd is a master of range, weight isnt the issue, Floyd makes Canelo look silly 100'xs out of 100.

Canelo would beat Floyd now. He won't beat khan though!
Canelo would still try feel Floyd out and box him. But if that didnt work, in the last 2/3 of the fight he would do a maidana.Last edited by hugh grant; 02-10-2016, 01:19 PM.

When Floyd fought him at the 152 catchweight, he was slightly weight-drained, slower, sluggish, less well-rounded and maybe even starstruck being in the ring with Floyd, plus he was green and inexperienced. These factors contributed towards it seemingly being one Floyd's greatest performances as he seemed to deal with Canelo easier than many had originally suspected.
But how does a rematch play out Mayweather vs Prime Canelo at 155?
Personally I think Floyd may well still beat him, but it's a much closer fight and Canelo might come out victorious with a close but controversial scorecard win as he did against Lara.

Mayweather still wins with very little difference from the first, maybe slightly more competitive but not vy much.
IMHO though i think this the most likely fight if Mayweather would return. It would be a huge ppv and get him #50 and the mw title without having to fight at the actual mw limit. The Pacquiao fight let the air out of a rematch being anywhere near as big as it was the first time unless Pacquiao destroys Bradley which i highly doubt.

Floyd will get credit for beating a 152 version. He didn't fsancy a 154 one e so we can assume he didn't fancy his chances.
Khan will hopefully show us how you do it.
