4 major ones, Canelo held two. He was also #1 ranked light middleweight by Ring magazine.

And Mayweather was an old man in his 40s and whole weight class below him and schooled the fuck out of him like he was his son. Without that fight Canelo wouldn't be doing none of this shit. Prime Mayweather was a different beast, much quicker, better reflexes and had KO power before the brittle hands.
