I don't think this "well fighter A did better against fight B than fighter C, so A > C" logic works, because if you want to do that then Emmanuel Augustus is a much better fighter than a ton of world champs because he gave Floyd a tougher fight than most.

Floyd was much sharper and more focused than he was in the Cotto and Guerrero fights, I saw this fight as a return to form for him.

And I have to laugh once again at people saying Canelo had no game plan, or wondering why he didn't just rush in. It shows you have a layman's knowledge of boxing or you just plain don't understand how crafty Floyd actually is.
