I don’t think Canelo looked that impressive last night.

    We don't even know if Charlo can make it back to 154. I doubt he can or will. And Canelo fought at 140-147-154-160 and now 168. He didn't start his career at 168 or even 160. He's not a big guy, he just doesn't want to kill himself to make weight at his age and he don't give a fk about being the smaller dude in there.

      He was a ****ing teenager. Get off it, he’s not small. Chavez Jr started at 135. When Kovalev was an amateur in his teens he fought at 140. Teenagers ****ing grow. It doesn’t matter if he was 147 when he was 18. He can’t make 160 NOW

        He was at 154 in his mid twenties, that's not a fking teenager lol. Whatever man, you wanna compare two guys who are 6 feet or taller to a 5'8" man. Canelo ain't big for 168 whatsoever. He'll be the smaller guy 99% of the time at his current weight and 100% of the time if he ever goes any higher. But yeah he's huge

          He was a teenager when he fought at 147. Which you brought up acting like Canelo is this ****ing baby midget,. He fought at 140 a handfull of times when he was 15 years old FFS.

          No, he will be the shorter guy. He is wide AF. Full, back is massive. Stop with the misleading "HE'S ONLY 5'8 HE'S SO SMALL!!!" bull****.

          He can't make 154. He can't make 160. He's a full fledged SMW. Stop with the nonsense. You just make yourself look like a ****** when you say he's fighting at 168 because he "doesn't want to cut weight"

              I always thought he'd be a better fighter if he didn't zing every punch in as hard as he can. Would probably help his stamina too.

                Yep. Much better stamina, speed, more headmovement, more jabbing. Though it could’ve also been the fact that Jermell didn’t push Canelo in any regard, Canelo fought at his pace and barely absorbed any punches on the guard or otherwise.

                  So how come everyone so impressed with bivo l beating a smaller nelo? Nel o still had to overcome height And reach disadvantages.

                    He looked much better than GGG 3 considering Golovkin much like Charlo offered zero resistance in the first half and Canelo gassed in that fight and not this one.

                      Canelo looked good physically which means that hes got a few more years in him. I was less impressed with him technically. He just does the same thing over and over. He got one good right hand in that caused charlo to take a knee. that right hand charlo was expecting it to go wide and moved like it would be another hook to the body but it split his guard and rocked him.... canelo needed to do more of that if he wanted a stoppage but instead he just kept ripping power hooks to the arms and body with no setup, no jab, no combos, no feints ect so charlo took all the shots pretty well and never in much danger of being stopped except that one time.

                      not impressed with canelo not making any type of adjustments
