Yep.
Canelo was just aiming higher and higher and eventually would have gotten stopped. Better to be outboxed(Bivol) than crushed(Beterbiev).
Its clear Canelo is too small for 175 lbs and thus skills won't carry him any higher. He is a big puncher yes but he is not the only one. Canelo is an 160 fighter imo even tho he seems to campaign at 168
He is unbeatable in 168 downwards he is just losing to guys at 175 or higher
Canelo learnt a lot from Floyd.
His head movement improved after that fight and he also started to use more catch-and-shoot counters.
He did not learn enough mate. Like I said, the same reasons why he lost to Mayweather 'Unearthed themselves against Bivol'.
His endurance was under par, and lack of gears.
Alvarez has always had decent head movement, and good counters etc.
If he had learnt from the loss to Mayweather. He would of improved his stamina, and gears.
It was lack of stamina, and lack of gears once again which lost him the fight to Bivol.
I don't think Alvarez really improved that much since Mayweather. He has been facing bigger fighters, but not better fighters.
Billy Joe Saunders, Caleb Plant, Liam Smith are not on the same level as Miguel Cotto & Sugar Shane Mosley skill for skill etc.

Canelo beats the **** out of Charlo sorry. Charlo will run like a ***** after he feels those body shots. Andrade looked like crap against that bRit. Hes a runner too. Benavidez will be a good fight with Canelo, but he is too wide open for big shots. Charlo dont have any character either. He will quit or hold like crazy .
If Canelo learns from the loss, just like he learned from the Floyd loss, then he can become even better.
The only thing that concerns me is all the energy he is putting into golf. Perhaps he isn't hungry to live the fighter lifestyle anymore, with all the money he has earned.

Canelo ducked the real challenges at 160-168 in Charlo, Andrade and Benavidez.
canelo beats benavidez and charlo. that's why haymon was selling them along with spence at 164 to canelo. make no mistake canelo was going to stop spence in cowboy. i said andrade would have made him look stupid in the 160 undisputed fight but since andrade has no leverage like lara he would have been robbed and canelo would be 2 time undisputed. not sure why he didn't do it.
I'm a Canelo hater, but I'm rolling my eyes at the idea that Canelo will be "crushed". He's never been rocked, now people are predicting he gets stopped? SMH.
Joe smith jr has never been dropped and crushed before, first time for everything.

I also feel too like Eddie Reynoso was spreading himself too thin. Losing Ryan and SAnchez will help him get more time to focus on himself and Canelo. Who knows who Ruiz has? Valdez losing too , hurt. In my opinion Eddie should have just kept Canelo and Ryan. Canelo also neede to recharge alittle as well.
