I have to ask: where did Canelo get all this punching power from?

[daggum]

remember when pac was moving up in weight and stopping people due to accumulation mostly? must be roids the 'clean up boxing" crew said. now the guy who actually got caught doping is moving up in weight and 1 punch ko'ing people and most of the same crew love him.....do ya feel bad for pretending to care for years and years? why did you do it? 5000 word essay on my desk by tomorrow.

I’m not defending him on the timeline for his move to 160. He certainly dragged his feet and pushed the 155 weight to his advantage. Same way Floyd pushed his advantage by making him come down to 152. Canelo can call his shots being the money fighter. So if he thinks he had an advantage with certain opponents at certain weights, he will exploit it.

True, but I think his power did increase a ton between 2017. The Chavez fight versus these fights now are the proof, it's not just that he was cutting weight, his power went up a ton. Couldn't hurt Chavez junior at all but now you are decapitating the skulls for champions at bigger weights.

He has above average power and it depends on who he is fighting if he loads up. He was throwing full power shots against BJS because nothing of consequence was going to be coming back. He wouldnt leave himself open like that against a Golovkin type puncher who is sharp with their counters. Canelo is going to be hard to beat at this point, Im not sure anyone at SMW can touch him. Bivol or Beterbiev will have to come down for a competitive fight if Canelo wont go back up.

[just the facts]

Canelo is using more ass in his punches than he used to.

Injected in both cheeks?

The idiocy of people.

Last week, it was all "Canelo isn't that good because most every good opponent goes 12 rounds."

Today, it's "well where is he getting all this punching power?"

i swear people just love to cry and moan.

Canelo still doesnt have that 1 punch KO power.

Isn't it legal to use more tape between gauze in Texas, to some degree? Pac broke Margarito's orbital in Texas as well. And it helps when these guys dip there head down into the punch. Anyways, I actually think Canelo is clean. His stamina and offensive breaks are not suggestive of somebody on the juice. I'm guessing. I think he's just filled out well physically and he's rotating into his punches very well. There's been a stronger commitment to his punches since the first Golovkin fight.
