I like the kid, he has the makings of a future PPV star, however after watching his last few fights, as well as tonight's, is it me or does "Canelo" lack elit power. Jose Cotto, his is a Lighweight seemed unfazed by Canelo for the most part and N'Dou, who we know has a good beard never appeared hurt despite being outclassed thoroughly. I know "Canelo" is young and his body is still maturing, but its just something I've noticed...
Thoughts
As I said earlier Canelo is not even fighting at 154 he is fighting at 150 and not cutting any weight to do so.
lol...like u also said, hes 20 yrs old. the kid is destined to be a mw. trust me.
lol, dude...he is not smaller than margarito was at 20. **** he's larger than margarito was just 5 years ago. ur looking at height, not weight obviously.

No chance in hell he will fight at middle weight at any point in this decade. He is actually a small 154.
He is smaller then Margarito was at 20

i dunno what elite power is but the guys has a few things working against his future. #1 is he cant fight at ww much longer. #2 is at jmw, he is gonna have a hard time for the forseeable future because of the talent of fighters that are there.#3 i dont think the kid is a ww or a jmw, he definitely looks like a mw to me. i mean he's only 20 and hes huge. in 5 years he'll be fighting at middle and he doesnt seem to have middleweight power although that may change.

At around 20 years of age, in their first 20 fights. It's a fair comparison.
If you want to go strictly by age Hearns goes to 100% KO percentage.
Oscar goes slightly higher than 90%.
Go look up Oscar and Heanrs amateur KO% when they were 16 and then we can compare because thats when Canelo turned pro

What are you talking about. Neither Hearns or Oscar had 20 fights under there belt when they were 20.

False.
Oscar went 20-0, with 18 kos = 90% KO/TKO
Hearns went 20-0, with 19 kos = 95% KO/TKO
Saul went 20-0-1, with 15 kos = 75% KO/TKO

Guess what. Except for Tyson none of them had elite power when they were 20

really?? I actually think he mixes up going upstairs and downstairs pretty good
ya
i mean he hit the body
and would hurt him or pushem back
but then hed go head huntin
and ndous took cottos best
he can take it up top
had he thrown more to the body
i think he coulda stopped him
For those who know anything about the body he is still going through puberty, it stops about early twenties to mid twenties so he will gain some more weight and power over the next few years naturally. He may even have to move up a division if he struggling to mae weight.
I believe 154 is easy for him he doesn't cut any weight, but he won't be able to make 147 too much longer

What Canelo Needs Is To Work On His Speed If He Is Planning To Move To The WW Division.
:pat:
He needs to work on everything that 20 year old boxers work on.
indeed
hes lacks power
but whats worse he seems to think he has it
could get him in trouble
he needs to work body moredef needs a yr or 2 b4 he fights any REAL names
he def looks his age
20 wth lots of promise
what fight were u watching? lol
he landed heaps of rippers on n'dou. some were so viscous i was positive that lovemore would go down from one, even knowing how tough he is.
