Canelo would have been a punching bag in old times

[JakeTheBoxer]

Imagine, old days , the same day weight in. Canelo`s fight night weight is probably about 180.

He would have been a light heavy in old days. Lol, can you imagine him fighting Bob Foster? That would have been a massacre. Canelo would have been like a small fat kid fighting these guys.

No way Canelo would have been 160 guy in the same day weight in days.

Early in his career he could have done 160 just due to the fact of how young he turned pro. JMW - SMW in the 90's was the golden era for those divisions. Norris, McClellan, Jones, McCallum, Julian Jackson, McCallum, Toney, Barkley, Nunn, Sosa. All killers that didn't play no games in the ring.

Jumping divisions often make fighters incomparable. Suffice to say that when a guy comes on through to Welter weight on up to Light heavy, your dealing with the divisions that are the most competative... where guys are the most athletic, punch the hardest, etc. Cruiser can sometimes be in this field as well... Not always.

The reason for this is that more people who are strong and athletic weigh what a guy weighs in these divisions. In Thai boxing theb champion is what we consider like Middle weight... The heavyweight division is a joke...

Agreed. He's an overrated limited fighter

In old times, nobody would give a sh.it about 168 division. It didn`t exist. Canelo would be too fat for 160 and too small for 175 dudes.

Roy Jones, James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe, Andre Ward all of them would whoop Canelo easily. Luckily for him 160-168 don't have that level of fighters.
