Remember, Canelo looks ordinary on elite level

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.
plant talked endless **** pre fight but when he got in the right he came to survive not to win, he ran the whole time and the only reason canelo got the stoppage is relentlessly stalking him. even someone like say spence vs mikey garcia went the distance because mikey ran all night and was in there to not get hurt not to win, it can be hard to get the stoppage.Comment

GGG is a beast have you not got eyes, why run everybody down based on names you try to blow off, they are solid comp and he beat them soundly, the greats throughout history have resumes full of chumps whats new in boxing, Canelo is a great in the making and its probably only weight that will beat him, or great slick boxing like Floyd and Lara came close, its a bad style for Canelo, Bivol is a good style for Canelo.I'm going to play a little devil's advocate here. If we're saying Canelo is only ordinary on elite level, yet he went life and death with GGG in very close fights, what does that say for GGG on an elite level? GGG's best wins would be Jacobs, Lemieux, Geale, Murray, D-Chenko. Not exactly elite level themselves. Seems to be a wash.
I don't think Bivol is dynamic enough to beat Canelo, Bivol looks heavy-handed pedestrian to me, I feel Canelos explosive punches will be too fast for Bivol, no doubt he can punch though and Russians are as tough as Mexicans making it a great fight, I hope it happens.

GGG had his whole career to be where Nelo is at.......what happened ?Originally posted by Xi JinpingCanelo is one of the weakest champions ever. He'd never be considered an elite fighter. Canelo will have a hard time beating a Chinese cab driver.Comment

Bivol will be so drained. They will need crazy glue to hold his trunks up.very controversial win against Lara
two very controversial fights with GGG
a loss to Mayweather
I won`t be surprised at all if/when Bivol wins, even with a KO. Bivol is a legit champ at 175, he is much stronger than anybody Canelo has ever fought so far and well skilled also.
Callum, Plant and Saunders are not on that level.Comment

Certainly lost to GGG, especially the first fight he was completely out classed. Very close against Lara who wasn't even elite tbh, same goes for Trout. Lets not forget Canelo was getting picked apart by BJS early as well.
But I heard the Bivol match up would be at 172? Either way Bivol is not that good and completely untested.
At one point when Lara was #1 contender for WBA/WBC 154, he was landing 49-50% of his power punches. Guess the other guy who was in that range?
That answers the question along with a 74'' reach, why FMW defended the belts vs Maidana.
