    Totally this. Canelo has improved his craft and settled at a weight which seems to play to all his strengths. From what Iˋve seen of BJS at SMW, he looks a bit heavy legged and slow. Canelo has looked razor sharp at 168 and scarily dangerous. Canelo wins this with something to spare.
    So now his catchweight was in his detriment. Not to have an advantage over his opponents. Not to mention his peds abuse.

      A tiny amount of clenbuterol is not "ped abuse"

        I agree with that. Lara is boring and defense minded but he does have a dog in him when pressed to fight.

          I think BJS looked better at 160lb. Think he had a better chance then than now imo

            People forget just how GOOD Prime Lara REALLY Was. Footwork, Excellent Jab, that Left Hand had some Good Pop as well

              Agreed. I liked the fight more back then for sure. Canelo has definitely kept improving. His foot work is much more polished. His ability to slip a punch, and overall defence are master class now. I’d love to see him have to try and throw 75+ punches in a round, but it may never have to come that for him. I didn’t like hearing that BJS got up to 210lbs before his last fight. Canelo will have to have an off night and BJS will have to have the fight of his life to pull this off, even then that’s no guarantee on the cards in Vegas. He’d better score a cut and a knock down
              if it goes the distance.

                What about, what about, what about... He's improved and looks razor sharp at 168 is what I said. If you want to debate that, go ahead. I said nothing about the words you are trying to put into my mouth.

                      Yes, you mentioned his weight. And I see an improved fighter. But hasn't fought anything closer to Lara or May. Ggg is the best opponent and he had two very controversial fights. You know what hasn't improve? The cherry picking.
