How does a small framed Mexican middleweight get HW KO power?

[STREET CLEANER]

Canelo is a precision counter puncher. Even if his power is average it will do damage. His accuracy is so high that it is very effective.

[Skillz12]

Canelo literally has thudding bone breaking power literally he breaks them physically and mentally.

[BigDramaShow!]

is there no drug test or what to their fight? if so, then he was on something.. just like marquez..

Canelo was already tested by VADA 3 times this last 6 months what else do you want? Ffs

It's not Canelo's one punch power that's so impressive, it's how long can keep throwing power shots. I must admit it does look somewhat unnatural. It's practically unheard of for a fighter to move up in weight, 2 weight classes in a relatively short time, and start running through world level fighters with power shots. Yes, Canelo has technical skills but it's more than that. If you can keep throwing power shots all night, than yea it's only a matter of time before you break your opponent down, either with a ko or what he did to Callum Smith and his arm. But since Canelo's been tested, I have to assume that he's just a genetic anomaly and his new stamina for power shots is due to him fighting at a more natural weight. Either that or he's found some way to beat the drug testing system.

Roberto Duran was even smaller and could have knocked the horse Canelo is riding out cold.

You mean like Pacquiao, from David Diaz (lightweight) to Margacheato (super welterweight)?

[SweetPbfAli]

Small framed? If he's small what's large framed? Or you just mixing up height with size?

Seriously. Canelo's back is wide AF. Dude is built like a tank.

[Lupara]

Hahaha. BJS fans are in hell right now and I love it!

I haven't watched much of Pacquiao's career but if he was doing that in close to the short time span that Canelo did and beat world level fighters with mostly power shots - breaking heavier fighter's bones and getting vicious indelible ko's, then yea that's impressive too. But that's gotta be a very rare thing.
