Boxing: Did the Mayweather fight make Canelo a better fighter?

What has he added or learned?

Canelo v Angulo was obviously fixed, same way that Garcia v Herrera and Wilder v Scott (lol) were fixed.

In all likelihood Mayweather v Canelo was fixed too. Al Haymon and GBP are turning boxng into WWE. Face facts.

Anytime you compete with a great, you should learn something. Canelo should have at least learned or added some more quickness, due to fighting Mayweather.

Nothing from what I notice ,I think it has more to do with the strategy Alvarez chose to fight Floyd with.

If Alvarez would have not worried so much about boxing and placement of his punches and threw quick hard left hooks to the body of Floyd like he did against Angulo followed by a couple of punches upstairs ,the fight with Floyd would have been totally different.

If Canelo feel he has learned so much against Floyd ,maybe they should have a rematch because it would still be highly marketable.

Yes. Canelo became an actor. Not the best though.

I would hope so. How can you go up against the best and not learn a thing or two. His foot work and stamina were a bit better. His combinations were excellent, his timing, his defense. Everything was looking good.

He needs to keep challenging himself.

Well he wasn't destroyed mentally and didn't show ring rust. So he learned to accept a loss. Him vs Lara which I'm sure will be announced soon. That fight will determine if Alvarez improved.

Yes. He learned the shoulder roll lol

Haha but his head movement has improvement A LOT.

And he's improving his defense too.

I remember seeing him 3 years ago and his defense was bad and he seemed more of a power puncher. He still has power now but he's becoming more of a boxer puncher which is good for him.

Like others have said before me, he should fight Lara!

Yes. He has more speed, and is sharper. He need to fight fight Lara so everyone know who the true # 2 is.

I'm sure he learned plenty about the championship bouts and about himself. too it well and will do lots better inhis career.

Improved timing, combos, tactics, stamina, ring iq.

What has he added or learned?

yes because he has gained experience

dive for more money.;.

idk, he learned that catchweight really worsen his stamina problem?
