Is Canelo's punching power overrated?

Maybe you're right I mean looking back and though Mosley won, Cano seemed to hurt Mosley a lot worse than Canelo did and far more often.
Either way I feel Canelo's not a huge puncher and a fairly mediocre one when taking his size into equation.

Originally posted by SoggyLungsi remember in the late rounds he caught mosley with a good shot and mosley started to cling on...but the fact is canelo was MUCH younger, MUCH bigger, and many people expected canelo to score the stoppage...but no matter what canelo did he couldn't do it (even at the end you could see canelo was a bit disappointed that he failed to stop mosley)..and in fact mosley put on a more respectable and braver performance than many anticipated of him considering how scared and awful he looked against pac.
mosley said canelo hits about as hard as mayweather...and i think he's right...he did fight both guys afterall ...

Even amongst informed boxing fans who should know better, they see Canelo's physical size and assume he's a bigger puncher than someone who might not look as physically strong.
As always, muscle size / strength is only one aspect of many when it comes to punching power. According to Shane, Canelo and Floyd have more or less equal punching power, and it's respectable. Not bad, not great.
