How come Roy Jones Jr had great success at 175, but not Canelo?

Why????????

[YGriffith]

Canelo is too short to do what Jones did.

[Oracle01]

Roy was maybe one of the great physical specimens of all time. He still maintained a lean muscular physique and blinding speed, , and he always was a much more skilled dynamic boxer than Canelo, who was very one dimensional tonight. Canelo has fallen in love with his power in recent years also. Those big hay makers don't work vs elite fighters.

Why????????

Because Roy fought no hopers at 175 until Tarver and went life and death before being bodybagged in the rematch. It was pretty much Canelo walking through the super middles imagine if Calzaghe or Ward was on top then Canelo would be dominated

[HENNY]

Faster hands and feet, taller, and longer arms. Basically, he was just naturally bigger and more athletic

[Rockybigblower]

He's a black American fighter. Everyone knows they're the best.

1. roy wasn't flat footed
2. Roy was 5'11
3. roy didn't put on 40-50 lbs in between fights

[Godsfly]

Roy was a athletic genetic powerhouse freak...once in a life time talent. Canelo has been overblown........honestly, he still makes a lot of the same mistakes when he fought mayweather.

[Street]

Great success? Didn't Antonio Tarver KOd him at 175 and MD him in the rematch?

Best at literally running away in a prize fight. Stand and trade like a real man.
