Nobody Has Ever Outslugged Canelo...

[garfios]

Plant looked like prime Roy Jones Jr out there against the MEXICAN MONSTER LMao I was like LMAO


negro please

for two rounds I'm a ring that look bigger than my backyard, and I have a big backyard.

Canelo is even better than Toney.

he hits much harder pound for pound and he isn't lazy in training. Toney would legit not train.

He is more disciplined than Toney was.

[STREET CLEANER]

Haters selling Canelo short. They are levels in this game and Canelo is at a very high one. He has continually gone up in weight to challenge himself and lost. Benavides would be a good fight because he has some momentum behind him but David will get hit good very often.

Hard counters slow downs active pressure fighters.

The only way to beat him is by pure boxing. Bivol and Mayweather.

His style is closest to James Toney. Except he hits harder. Toney's style allowed him to move up and straight up out slug Evander Holyfield before knocking him out. Defense too good!

If you walk into the fire against Canelo, he knocks you out. Bivol said straight up Canelo hits harder than Zurdo(a natural cruiser).

He had Killa Kov and GGG pump a jab going backwards. lmao


Canelo should fight Benavidez. His trainers honestly don't know CHIT about boxing. They legit picked the worst style match up for him.

Prime James Toney was NOTHING like Canelo. Watch him fight RJJ again. Toney is actually much closer to Mayweather. They both love staying in the pocket and deflecting with the shoulder role and popping you with a right hand.
After Canelo got whipped buy Mayweather he suddenly developed a shoulder role.

Certain people in this thread are going to be saying that Canelo should fight Wilder next. Or maybe Francis Ngannou. That would be a freak show fight for sure.

Canelo is a very unique animal.


He is an aggressive counter-puncher. He comes forward on you WHILE countering you. This is why he froze Callum Smith up. He came forward and Smith couldn't land any of his KO shots while getting countered.

Walking forward on KOVALEV and knocked him out. James Toney style.



Benavidez would get countered all day before getting pinned on the ropes. He has slow feet, he ain't going anywhere.

That's not unique, man. In fact he started doing that a lot more after he fought GGG the first time and unsurprisingly it's something that Golovkin did well too - GGG actually described his own style one time as an 'aggressive counterpuncher' as I recall. What I do give Canelo enormous crdit for is learning from the fights he had and taking something new from each major opponent - constantly adding wrinkles to his game although that's not been so much in evidence the last few years. Guess there's diminshing returns after a bit.

Canelo actually learned a lot from Mayweather in their fight. and No Canelo is more like Toney as they are aggressive counter-punchers, active. Moving forward countering to head and body.

Mayweather is more of a boxer. He counters with 1 or 2 taps and holds. he's not looking to knock anybody out. when you watch his highlights his punches are very light like taps.

Mayweather and James Toney are almost polar opposite to one another.

yup Canelo's style is a fusion of Mayweather and GGG. he learned from both fighters. his final form came out vs GGG 2. His defense is far superior to GGG as he learned from Mayweather. His offense is also far superior to Mayweather as he learned from GGG.


There is someone with this style already, it's James Toney. Aggressive counterpuncher.

Mayweather does what you say initially. Plays boxer from the outside, jabs to the belly. Takes their initial explosiveness out of the equation, changes the game to HIS tempo then plays inside the pocket, deflecting with the shoulder & elbow followed up with a hidden right hand.
