well he was when he kicked Canelo's a$$ that's for sure!

Hardly an ass kicking you Gayweather groupie. Hugging and running is not an ass kicking.

He put on a clinic. Left Canelo totally impotent in there. I'm certainly not a Mayweather groupie but anyone can see he put hands on Canelo whenever he wanted to and made Canelo hit fresh air all night...

Can you please clarify what weight division Canelo belongs to?

Canelo gets special treatment. For such a long time he insisted he wasn't a middleweight, then goes up to 175lbs and insists he's not a light-heavyweight THEN comes down to 168lbs and tries to give the impression he isn't a natural super-middleweight. So what is it?

Don't forget the guy has made 2 attempts to fight at cruiserweight as well.

The weight division where his opponents are his size. He's been fighting bigger opponents for a couple years now and being a great fighter is what has been allowing him to win.

15 year old boxers are quite different, weight wise, than a regular athlete. They have to be very conscious of their weight because it determines the division that they will fight in. With his type of body composition, he couldn't make it to under 147, even at 15. Just imagine, at 32 years old, his body capacity now. He's clearly not fighting bigger guys if we're speaking of the weight that he enters the ring or walks around at. He's just shorter.

Considering his body is based on his diet and work out he didn't reach 147 because of his body he reached that weight because he consumed a lot of protein and did muscle building exercises.
With a regular diet and normal boxing workouts Canelo would fall somewhere around 140 or 150 which is why many of the fighters in those divisions are around his height as well.

Canelo isn't naturally built to be that size.
