Remember, Canelo looks ordinary on elite level

In fairness, those were all long time ago, and G is on different level than anyone he's fought since. Canelo has evolved a ton since Lara/Mayweather. He's not the same fighter anymore, not even in the same stratosphere. He kept the reflexes, but grew into his wide frame.Comment

It's just funny how quick he and team were to try and make fights with Callum, Saunders and Plant. How quickly the Makabu idea came together. Meanwhile bivol, benavidez or beterbiev are willing to take the fights. Not ask for too much and Canelo will still be paid incredibly.Comment

It's hard to tell if Canelo has improved dramatically or his recent opposition have been worse. Possibly a combination of the two.Comment

BJS got beat up....but you're acting like he wasn't picking apart the slower Canelo. You do realise that in boxing a guy can outpoint an opponent and still get KOd. Maybe you don't, you may be 5 years old, who knows?Comment

You think the history books will remember BJS winning 3 rounds? Or BJS getting his face broken? Very simple question even for someone of questionable intelligence such as yourself.Comment

My personal opinion is, like any other person doing a job, he's supposed get better, or more efficient. He has done that, but, he hasn't fought anyone of Lara, ggg and Mayweather. The trio he fought, Saunders, smith and plant, weren't in the same tier as the ones I mentioned above. Even when he fought cotto, on his way out, it was a close fight too, but you know what? That's exactly what is supposed to happen. Close fights between fighters from the same tier. Be safeComment

I think he is the same fighter but just fighting weaker opponents. He looked pretty ordinary for most of the Plant fight, missing so much and just chasing him around throwing hay makers. That is why they cherry pick to build the myth Canelo is much better. He had 43 pro fights when he fought Floyd, no fighter in history has suddenly improved greatly at that point. He was a seasoned pro already, yet the fan boys kept acting like he was a rookie or something lol.Comment
