Story of Canelos career he barely wins

I despise Canelo, but...close wins are wins. That's all that matters. If you're ragging on a guy because he "barely" wins - then you're clutching.

Barely won? Canelo was looking like Floyd out there making Jacobs miss and look foolish Dude canelo easily won he literally domianted ever punch stat landing more of everything they track and at double the connect rate and higher rate for everything. You just hate canelo and will never give him credit lol Compubox Canelo Total shots 188 of 466 (40%) Jabs 68 of 202 (34%) Power shots 120 of 264 (46%) Jacobs Total shots 131 of 649 (20%) Jabs 42 of 290 (15%) Power shots 89 of 359 (25%) The thing is, Floyd would make you miss then hit you. Canelo was just making Jacobs miss then standing around admiring his own defense. He did look great with his head movement though!

The internet era... where winning fights isn't enough and every loser is trash. And you wonder why fighters take the option of padding their resume with flashy wins against B grade opposition? Maybe because people don't recognise them when they beat top opposition. This was a high level fight between two championship level fighters. Canelo was pretty clearly the better fighter. Not in a dramatic way, just a bit better in every area. Jacobs boxed smart. A little slow early but when he got a read on Canelo he realised he couldn't outbox him. Went a bit more unorthodox and found a way to be competitive and pick up rounds. Just a really good, technical fight between two top fighters. To win, Canelo had to be really good. And he was. Another smart comment. Exactly, it was a very good technical fight with both fighters doing his thing with skills and smart

Then you haven’t seen much Sorry vato canelo just doesn't impress me.

Thats a good point I recall reading a Ring article a while back when a writer spent the time with Canelo in his dressing room right up to his ring walk. He described Canelo's rituals and his cool, relaxed demeanor. He also talked about what Canelo and his trainers did to get ready for the fight. One thing always bothered me. The writer described Canelo's trainer rubbing vaseline into Canelo's chest, arms, and legs. Now we all no that is a big no no as vaseline traps in heat and drains stamina and energy. It could have worse effects as trapping in bacteria and causing infections. I always wondered if Canelo and his trainers still do this and if it could be a part of his stamina problems.

And there's a guy named Crawford that makes every single one of his opponents look ordinary, or don't belong in the ring with him. Fans don't understand we're watching greatness right in front of us.

duran was winning wide on that fight despite the bad ending. duran was dominating and almost all the rounds. buchanan needed a KO to win and it wasnt happening. another hall of famer and better than any of canelo's wins. also esteban de jesus a far better win than anyone canelo fought thats for sure. False, the fight against Buchanan was very close. And nope, Esteban de Jesus is not better than GGG. Of fact, Duran is a great fan of Canelo

but floyd still dominated other top fighters. canelo hasn't dominated ONE top fighter. simple to understand. what other top fighters? Corrales ? that guy was not better than Jacobs, he was limited and always had bad defense. Canelos win against GGG and Jacobs were good, close but with a very good performance

Canelo didn't just "barely" win tonight...He outclassed Jacobs.

ken buchanan (duran was leading wide on all scorecards before the controversial ending) and esteban de jesus.fellow hall of famers That win against Buchanan was trash because the controversial ending. No way in hell Esteban de Jesus is a hall of famer and he beat Duran too.

His conditioning is **** that's the only thing keeping him from being ATG Thats a good point

You are missing the point by a mile. Canelo has no fights against top opposition where he just completely outclassed them/ kos them. Yes great fighters of the past had close fights but they also had fights where they dominated and destroyed a top fighter. Canelo is missing that. What win of Durán was like that ?

Hes one of the best GOOD fighters I ever seen but hes just good. Dude has never dominated or blown away any of the good fighters hes fought. To make matters worst hes arguably lost every single time he fought a good fighter and the only time he faced truly an ATG he got embarrassed. I like Canelo he a good fighter and hes gotten better over the years but I dont see greatness at all. Your point sort of gets nullified based on fact he can do it against almost anyone

He wins doesn't he? Exactly.

To me this was Canelo's worst performance since Erislandy Lara. Both were close fights that was won by him because both of his opponents refused to let their hands go. After all, Canelo is a counter puncher and if you don't throw nothing to hit him then he won't throw nothing back to hit you. It would just turn into an ugly boring boxing match.

Leave the boxing for the men!
