Yes !

Khan is definitely a fair point. Although he got caught and not beaten into submission. But can you really compare this to Canelo’s loss to Mayweather? There’s a difference in losing to Joe Joyce and losing to the undisputed #1 p4p fighter in the world.

It’s a bit of a stretch, but..,
Canelo - a 175ibs champ - was completely outboxed by a 37 year old former featherweight. He had a 20lb+ weight advantage on the night.

At the time Canelo fought Mayweather he was 23 years old and had never fought above 154 lbs. Canelo came up as a prospect fighting at welterweight. Money was comfortable around 147 in his mid-30s. Weight was not that crazy of an advantage for Canelo. There’s a big difference in losing to Joe Joyce and losing to FMJ.

Indeed there is - I said it was a stretch- but Canelo was the worst “contaminated meat” weight bully with about 20lbs advantage on the night.
And he was utterly outclassed.
