    Still, canelo doesn't have one punch ko power. He has decent, keep you honest power. A lot of experience too.

      That is not a prime opponent. Sorry.
      smith is no elite, and hat's why he was choosen.

        Just say what eve Rey one knows. Canelo ducks prime fighters if they are at all good, especially if they’re black undefeated Americans. Charlie and Andrade have pumped that kid for a half of a decade because he is scared. David Benavidez isn’t too dangerous, he’s whoop Caneo. Old GGG beat him up for the second half of the last fight. Good Fox until we get past this BS boxing is gonna be ruled by YouTubers
        What makes you think Andrade and Charlo are good? Was Charlo good when getting beaten by a way past prime Korobov who came in at a few days notice? Or was it when looking like shlt against handpicked bums?

            Smith was/is a world class fighter. But when you're at your worst the way Smith was against Canelo, you're not going to put up much of a fight. That's why Canelo sabotages everyone before facing them.

              So one bad night against Ryder and Callum Smith was a bum? How has Smith looked since the Canelo fight? It's much easier to criticize than give credit. Canelo's victory over Smith was very impressive and worthy of respect. Anyone who follows this sport seriously will acknowledge that.

                Name the active fighters with better resumes than Canelo.

                  I never said Callum was a bum after having a bad night against Ryder. I pointed out that Canelo wanted nothing to do with him until that bad night. Then Callum was only given a few weeks to train to weaken him further. This was in a pandemic environment too. Canelo also knew how bad it would be to bring his huge frame down in such a short period of time.

                  I don't give credit to anyone who intentionally sabotages fighters to gain a mass of advantages. Canelo does this on a consistent level.

                    Gonzales
                    Usyk
                    AJ
                    Fury
                    Taylor
                    Golovkin
                    Lomachenko
                    Bivol
                    Lara

                    All these have better resumes than Canelo. I don't include robberies as part of any fighters resume. I don't include shot to pieces fighters or much smaller either.
