I am starting to think nobody beats this version of Canelo

    I'll take their word over yours.
    He's mastered the art of cycling off. He's got it down to a science. These quick turnarounds and short notice fights? All part of the plan. You just don't move up and retain power unless you're a cheat. And Canelo is an expert cheat.

      He’s no where near as skilled as Canelo and Bivol He makes a lot of mistakes and can be crude at times.

        Alvarez is a great fighter

        I didn’t ever see him as unbeatable

        he has 3 to 4 fights that could have gone either way

        and is often in competitive fights up until the ko

          its the case when fighters turn pro at 16 or whatever.

          A lot of the pro’s were several weight classes below when they were 16, it’s just that they weren’t fighting as a pro, so it’s not on record as much.

          Usyk was a middleweight as an amateur at a certain point, in his late teens I think, maybe older. So had he been pro at 16, it would’ve been the case for him.

          I bet Floyd at 16 wasn’t significant bigger than a flyweight or bantamweight.

          Manny is not some tiny flyweight that is competing at welterweight. He was just pro so young, so his progression in size was more public, like Canelo.

          Canelo couldn’t make 154 anymore by his mid 20’s. I bet manny couldn’t make 135 that well once he got to 147. That’s a better gauge of their real size.

            You sound like a hater. He can fight 3 times a year because he doesn't take a lot of punishment during fights, he's still young, and stays in shape all year around. He retain his power because his body fully developed in the last few years.

              Canelo gonna beat the shyte out of all these guys.

              Might have to move up to Cruiserweight for a real challenge.

                How many versions does he have? Are you hoping the older version shows up in his next fights?

                  Maybe the lack of a cut facilitates his power? He can eat with less restriction in camp, making weight is less stressful and depleting etc.

                      I've largely come to see it this way too. As a friend recently said, Canelo at 168 is in an impenetrable cartoon fortress right now
