Nelo had at least 30 WW fights prior to fighting post prime May.
May MAYBE had 4 LMW fights total ?
Don't let the Pac fan in you resurface. You've been fairly logical of late.Carpe Diem likes this.

Floyd's win as floyd was smaller. Canelo still managed to hit bivol with power shots, but was hitting air vs mayweather. All this talk about canelo not in his prime back then was BS as he already had many fights as a pro and was undefeated, and was also a champ back then. He never made that many improvements, and still showed some of the same weakness during the caleb plant fight as the mayweather fight.

Floyd was prime v nelo. But at that age your window is less and you can age over night seemingly if you get a tougher fight than your body needs at that ageLast edited by hugh grant; 05-08-2022, 05:03 AM.

Its funny how a guy that came from 130 is in a convo with a 175 lb guy and size is irrelevant lol.

Floyd's was.
Bivol had no physical disadvantages last night. I personally thought he would get outboxed, but thats on me. Otherwise, the fight was his comfort zone.
Floyd was smaller ( 20 lbs difference on fight night!)
older (by i think 13 years?), way past his prime (Floyd's best weight may have been 140), and no punching power (at least not compared to a damn LHW)...
And Canelo couldnt ONE solid shot. Not one. Floyd vs Canelo was a masterclass. Bivol vs Canelo was a clear victory. There's a difference there.
