Canelo is done as elite fighter

[BodyBagz]

To a cruiserweight? I don`t think so.

But he is willing to fight Canelo in lower division, isn`t he?

No one is doing what Nelo is doing
Emotional fight fans expect more from Nelo

Better than 99% of everyone

Yes, but he will lose his belts if he fights Bivol at 168 or Benavidez.

Top pro fighting is not about being better than 99% of everyone.

You must be better than all of them, lol.

He’s lost a lot of the things that made him an elite fighter. He still is, and given Benavidez performance vs Plant, I think Canelo should beat him. Agree with Bivol, Canelo should stay away. In fact, a prime Canelo wouldn’t beat Bivol. He’s too small, and now he’s a smaller fighter on the decline. Canelo needs to put his pride aside here. That’s just too big and too good of a fighter. If Canelo was 6’ and started his career at 168, yes. But he’s 5’7”, former WW, looks soft in the mid section at 175. Too bloated, too small, just stay away. If it took him 11 rounds to KO a drunk Kovalev, he isn’t beating Bivol.

As I have stated in another post, these are the things I noticed:

Upper body/head movement, and blocking is no longer there.

Left hook is gone, likely due to injury.

Punches looked weak after 6-7 rounds vs Bivol, GGG III, and Ryder. His stamina issues is catching up to his power.

Killer instinct is gone.

Canelo should fight Benavidez next. That’s still a winnable fight because Benavidez still looks lost in there vs an even decent boxer like Plant, with no punching power. Went 12 with him? Yeah, Canelo can take him.

The headmovement basically disappeared with the move up to 168. Didn’t just happen tonight. He was a board vs Plant.

I wonder if Biv will ever move up and test bigger guys.....

His fake AF fan base should know

You do know that Bivol is on the smallish side for a LHW, don’t you?

Nobody asked Canelo to move to 175. Nobody would have thought any less of him if he hadn’t.

Everyone gets to use excuses except Nelo

The only excuse here was you. Talking about Bivol not moving up as if that had anything to do with anything.

Biv is so great, though

He is a great LHW. You disagree?
