Fighters and particularly Floyd do talk rubbish. He did not rate Ali as one of the greats in his interview because he considers himself the GOAT. Floyd and his employees wants to make more money from his victory over Canelo.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Not necessarily. You could be getting smashed out of sight and with 20 seconds to go in the round and throw a Hail Mary! Versus jogging around a ring and not getting touched and totally bossing a fight .
Anyway like @TitoFan said , if Floyd says it’s his easiest fight, it’s his easiest fight.
And if you don’t agree and in your opinion you don’t think it was his easiest fight, then you have to prove it! Tell me , how do you KNOW it wasn’t Floyd’s easiest fight?

I am not a big Canelo fan, but I don't understand how the Mayweather fight can be used against him. He was young, he stepped in with a very smart, very skilled fighter. He lost and he used the experience to improve himself. That was a decade ago and anybody that cannot see how that fight made him better hasn't been paying attention.
Nobody wins every fight, not if they have balls and take chances. Canelo lost and got better because of it, which is exactly what you are supposed to do.
You know... I have no issues with any of the points you've just made. In fact, I wholeheartedly agree that Canelo learned from his fight against Floyd.
My problem begins when people (mostly Canelo diehard fans) try to make it out like Canelo first of all deserved to be in the ring with Floyd (he didn't)... and second... try to make it out like the fight was closer than it was (it wasn't). Make no mistake about it. Many much more deserving fighters than Canelo (at that time) never got a crack at Floyd. But because of the pressure put on Floyd by the legions of blind Canelo fans and media... the fight was made. Sort of reminds me a little of when Ricky Hatton claimed to be somewhere in the p4p conversation and also got a fight vs Floyd. He got schooled. Just because a fighter gets a fight against an ATG... that doesn't mean he deserves it. There's a lot of money and inside politics at play. Yes... Canelo has gotten better since the Floyd fight. He would almost have to, wouldn't he? Every fight is a learning experience. Had Canelo and his fans just chalked it up as that... everything would be cool. But no. Blind Canelo fans want to claim that the fight was closer than it was... which of course is a crock.

floyd saying something doesn't make it a fact. exerting energy for twelve rounds rather than one round is harder. try it yourself. do three minutes of exercise & then do six minutes of exercise. you are exerting more energy & your body is working harder the longer you go
