This is why they fight the fights, to take away the speculation and stick to real world. I'm not going to say he didn't "belong" in the ring with Floyd or that him being stripped down to the frame in the biggest fight of his life makes him an talentless case. I can't stand Floyd at all, and I do think Canelo has benefited from close ties and early padding, but getting shut down and outclassed by arguably the best to come along in a generation..jesus I cannot believe I'm saying that...is not a career death sentence. I did think Canelo and camp HAD to have something up their sleeve and method to the madness after the Trout fight knowing he was going into Mayweather. Trout is a swap meet Double AA ball version of a Mayweather-ish style and it was insane and a waste not to kick in the door and practice an attack rather than think he could turn defense wiz and box with Floyd. THAT blew my f'n mind.
