From his physique to the very start of the fight, I got the sense that Canelo didn’t prepare to his full potential. His punches looked slower and lacked that usual explosiveness. I get that Scull is quick, but this stood out to me from the first round. Honestly, it felt like either Canelo didn’t train as hard because—let’s be real—who is Scull? Or maybe time has finally started catching up with him. This is all just based on the sharp drop in the speed and snap of his punches.
He is even looking old in the face now. Bloated and haggard. Compare photos of him in after the 3rd GGG fight, he looked much younger and chiselled. Plus looks like his hair is going. Benavidez would put him in hospital now.need this fight David style compatible with Alvarez
Mexican David could theoretically spear jab at range all night

Canelo is the same age as De La Hoya was when he fought Mayweather and had a lot more miles on since he never had the years long layoffs Oscar did.
He didn’t look lime he was in his best shape and he certainly looks like an aged fighter.
nah, he trained... decline comes with age and wear and tear... canelo is declining. but at the same time, scull also didn't wanna fight. put those 2 combinations together, a declining fighter vs a fighter who doesn't wanna fight and you get what we saw yesterday. a boring fight. I didn't expect his decline to happen this soon
Alvarez is a technician with excellent defense

You can see it too, demanding Benavidez show him respect he thinks he deserves or he won't take the fight, open to the rematch with Bivol but under the same terms but that isn't how it works when you clearly lost and are the one chasing.:haha:
Buff Guy Yarde could get Alvarez in the best shape of his life
and Saul would still get a sprain ankle trying this prime version of Bivol
Parker's Cousin Buff Guy Jai is the only real challenge left for Bivol

Canelo's not fighting at his normal weight class, which is 160, and he's too small for 168 so anybody with a pulse above 160 will give him problems, ex Bivol.
Canelo needs to go back down to Middleweight and he'll return to proper form.
didnt canelo unify all the invisible belts with his invisible win over benavidez? remember benavidez missed weight 5 years ago therefore canelo wins by default.
There is no doubt that Canelo has an invisible win over Benavidez. Just because we don't see something, I mean, we can't see everything, does not mean it did not happen. It was the invisible win of the decade alongside Tyson Fury's two invisible work wins over Usyk. Nash out - His Majesty
He is in Nash's mind the holder of the WBC invisible belt, and that's the main one. Tyson Fury has one too. Nash out - His Majesty

If you're living modestly you can make that stretch from your early 30s and live comfortably as long as you don't Broner or Ryan it all up.
I don't know why Canelo even bothers anymore, he has probably over 100M and he is fighting Bud now a smallish welter who good for him needs the cashout fight now in his late 30s. I expect win/lose/draw we won't see Bud again.
oh scull is set for life. good for him even though hes a bum bums need money too.
canelo bothers because its called narcissism. you will find this same personality defect in most leaders, famous people etc...

I’m sure he’s close to 500Ms actually.
wasn’t the Dazn deal 350million alone? Not including all the millions he had already won prior to that
canelos invisible resume has prime benavidez and prime ggg on it, oh and prime bivol since canelo said he won that fight too

Canelo was at his best. The punches landed numbers did not include the invisible work that he did, which was very high. Nash out - His Majesty

Turkey is just overpaying these guys and they have no incentive to perform, Scull could probably retire now.
3 million dollars apparently and the guy was never good at boxing. thats a great deal. got a gift vs shishkin and it was the gift that kept giving because canelo saw a bum with a belt and knew it would be an excuse to explain away his blatant ducking for the last 5 years of benavidez. how can you say im ducking im unifying the belts derrrp. how can you say im ducking im fighting teeny tiny charlo and crawford or bums like berlanga munguia etc...
Almost every guy who fought this weekend was terrible. Abysmal performances all around, a lot of pattycaking imo.
These guys were alright I guess.
Agagba - impressed with his improvements over time
Munguia
Teo
Bakole

My thoughts exactly, that he didn't look good from the beginning.
But I didn't think it was because he didn't train properly but that he just looked very worn-out, old, tired and uninspired from the very first rounds.
He doesn't want to face anyone dangerous anymore but you see that he also lacks the motivation for these type of fights.
If he keeps on fighting, one of these days one of those cherry-picks who might not show up for a paycheck but for his belts, will get the better of him.
Btw. I believe Canelo is only matched by Devin Haney on the p4p list (if you still place them on that list) when it's about not stopping an opponent in more than 3,5 years.....
For someone who people (and he himself) believe is a powerpuncher, that's incredible.
Both of those things, also you can throw in the fact that you can tell he doesnt care any more. No spark or urgency, just there to pick up the saudi paycheck.
