I think he learned more than the shoulder roll from his fight from Mayweather. He seems to truly be a master at always setting the odds in his favour, either by timing, age or, i suspect in the case of beterbiev, simply not fighting him. Contrast that wth teofimo lopez, an admitted loud mouth schnook with a father you just wished would go away, deliberately targeting who many people considered was the best fighter in the world while Lomanchenko was still in his prime. If Canelo fights beterbiev in the next year and somehow managed a win, I'll be the first to convert and admit i was wrong, but right now he's just floyd may weather.

We seem to be on the same wavelength with regard to Canelo and Mayweather.

Beterbiev has just turned 36 and so Canelo may have to wait a year or so until he's showing signs of decline - if he hasn't already as he had an extensive amateur career (295 - 5 record) and can't be at his best for much longer.
