    Where are all the improvements Canelo has supposedly made?

    I keep hearing about how much Canelo has improved since he fought Floyd, but I ain't seeing it. He lost to GGG, then he lost to Lara. I just think it's funny his supposed prime colludes with his opposition getting significantly weaker. Let's be honest, 168 was a terrible division. He wasn't knocking the top guys out at 154 or 160, but he's a killer at 168 because all the fighters there were paper champions.

    I thought everything nelo does make Floyd look better so why you downplaying nelo? You worried every win nelo has here on in makes people think nelo must have been trash at 23 years of age as well as drained. Worried nelois overtaking Floyd now?
    ​​​​​​Before we know it Floyd fans will want nelo koed every fight he has, things change quick

        From what i can gather..

        Less wasted movement, Much better at conserving stamina, badass at establishing pressure, better at feinting and now has a killer body attack

          Most people agree GGG beat Canelo 1st fight. A minority of people think Lara beat Canelo but many had it a draw and some had it for Canelo.

          Canelo cuts the ring off better and sets traps better, clearly. BJS and Plant were able to escape damage against everyone but Canelo. Sure, Plant and BJS arent Floyd but they also arent far from if not better than Lara.

          Canelos stamina is MUCH improved at 168 bc he was exhausted and drained at 154.

            Canelo has improved you can see it when he fought GGG in the pocket he was slipping a lot of shots and countering.
            Benevidez is the only decent fight at 168 for him.

              He cut off the ring vs Plant because that ring was so small

                He learn shoulder roll and pull counter from Floyd.
                He learned cutting off the ring from GGG.
                The rest is his own.

                    This right here. Instead of waiting he goes forward. Very technical go forward fighter, gets the other fighter tired by coming at them, they can't hit him while getting countered hard. He has figured out how to get by the jab as the fight goes on.

                    He has a ton of technical improvements, they are small but very effective. Don't know why this questions is even being asked.
