Oh please...
Canelo had fought at super welter 10 times before the Mayweather fight. He weighed in at 152 pounds.... a whole TWO POUNDS under the super welter limit.
Meanwhile, as the OP said, Floyd was old, past his prime, and a small natural 140 pounder.
Size shouldn't even be mentioned here, as it throws more dirt on Canelo.
Floyd pitched an embarrassing shutout at Canelo... probably one of the easiest fights he's ever had... and YET Team Canelo STILL managed to bribe coerce find a judge that saw the fight a draw.
All this fight showed was:
- How loudly the Canelo hype train makes noise, even back then.
- How obvious it was that Canelo NEVER belonged in the same stratosphere with Floyd.
