Comments Thread For: Canelo Believes That His Career Has Four More Years, Maybe Five

Four more years of salty tears from haters, maybe five.

[Jab jab boom]

He’s gonna end up with Roy Jones type losses if he thinks he has another 4-5 years in him. Unless he completely avoids real threats and continues to fight British level opponents.

5 more years of running from benavidez

Lol. You got that right.

Four more years of Jab jab boom having to keep coming up with guys that Canelo needs to fight in order to “prove himself.”

Canelo is one of those fighters whose style doesn't age well like Lomachenko, GGG, Usyk as a main part of his game is defence which he achieves through lateral movement. Once that goes he's gonna definitely get lit up/knocked out numerous times within those 4 years because not only does he have slow feet, he also doesn't have as good a command of distance as the previous mentioned fighters.

Having a good chin/rolling shots can only get you so far if you're insufficient in other areas. You could see how many times John Ryder had success with the inside uppercut, unfortunately for him his shots didn't possess enough snap to effect Canelo but it shows he's there to be hit. Perhaps Charlo is the guy to finally get the dominoes falling.

You really think Charlo is the guy to take out Canelo?

Charlo, who has never fought at 168, who has less than 50% KO ratio, and went life and death with Castano both times (although he did KO him in the 2nd fight) is going to be "the guy" who finally gets Canelo?

The same Canelo, who has been fighting at 168 for 2 years, actually has KO power at that weight, and has a strong chin!
He's fought GGG 3 times (who had like a 95% KO rate), and two 175lbs'ers—None of them rocked him or hurt him but yea, Charlo is gonna do it.

You are funny!

Canelo has 4 years left in the sport TOPS! Meaning that he should be hanging em up at 36-37 yo aprox, enough time to keep adding World Class names to his already HOF resume, and some fools still doubtful and negligent to the Benavidez clash. That fight is coming sooner thab most people think.

where was that power against a 41 year old GGG who he was lined up to "destroy"? It wasn't even there for Ryder FFS. Canelo hasn't KO'd any of his last 3 opponents. Even if he did possess the "KO power" that you speak of its pointless as these days he telegraphs the hell out of his big, single shots. Any fighter with decent footwork would be able to circle away from them the moment he starts closing the distance...

Canelo was definitely hurt in the rematch with GGG but he's one of those guys who comes forward when he's hurt. Golovkin landed that huge right hand in round 10 but specifically in round 11 GGG landed two separate left hooks in the space of about 10 seconds which had an effect on Canelo's legs. I suggest you go back and watch that.

As for Charlo, some fighters are capable of reaching a higher level as the competition they're facing increasing. After all Charlo is quite a big guy and he'll be bringing power and speed with him up to 168lbs. His main problem will be landing the right hand flush as Canelo is quite slippery but if he does its not a given that Canelo will just shake it off because of his chin being "strong". Charlo can wack, even his short shots pack a huge amount force. If he lands flush on Canelo's temple there's every chance he goes to sleep. Apart from GGG and old Kovalev Charlo is the hardest puncher that Canelo has faced.

Canelo is not a his best anymore. Knee and hand problems. Whoever beats him from now on won't get full credit.

That year when he fought Callum, Billy Joe, and Plant was his best. Unifying the 168 division.

Now is Gervonta's time, who is always fighting the best in his Divison. Champion after Champion. Being sarcastic.

He fought three mediocre fighters.

He fought three mediocre fighters.

And it was still better than anyone else in boxing.
