1. What shortcomings Canelo displayed in that fight would you attribute to inexperience as opposed to the skill-level difference, and at what point would Canelo be "experienced" enough to fight Mayweather (how many years, how many fights, who would he have to fight, ect)?

Yeah, if you re-read my post you'll see I acknowledged it was razor close. My point was that the much larger master boxer Lara was unable to cleanly outbox Canelo as Floyd did, so it illustrates my point quite well.
