Comments Thread For: The stats that prove Canelo Alvarez is not the same fighter he once was

[daggum]

This is a decent analysis, but nothing that was unexpected. Canelo's reflexes and output, like every other fighter's, decline when they are past their prime. My guess he has at most 2-3 productive years left at the elite level. We shall see.

he hasnt been at the elite level for years. he is artificially extending his career with mid fights. if he had fought benavidez that would probably be it for him since he cant division hop anywhere else since 160 isnt possible and 175 has bivol-beterbiev. maybe 164 fake canelo division?

Well duh

[BlackRobb]

Does anyone fact check these articles? He fought Chavez Jr. at 164.

[Floyd is TBE]

Canelo had the shortest and most disappointing prime ever. He was his best at 154. At 160 he beat a bunch of tomato cans and they put him on a pedestal

[BodyBagz]

Is any fighter is the same after 60+ fights ?!?!?

Pretty useless thread

But the main character is Nelo, so...................

Thats why he is only fighting no hopers. Bivol showed him how limited he is.

For those casual fans remember this is not the volume of punches you throw, it’s the accuracy of landing that counts. I wonder if such study was done on Floyd, who average 7 punches per round? This calling Canelo limited, don’t know c@c@ about boxing, the man has been in the top 10 pound 4 pound list for 12 years, what does that tell you? Mensos!

He’s been a professional fighter for about 20 years so obviously he’s going to be in decline.

Nobody stays fighting only elite fighters idiot. Even Floyd Mayweather fought lesser opposition like a very small lightweight jm marquez, Andre Berto, a 50 year old Shane Mosley etc Pacquiao fighting Jeff horn, Jessie Vargas, Lucas matthyse . You sound ignorant

It took a much bigger man who is an elite fighter and a world champion to show him weight classes matter , because at that weight you’re not gonna hurt your opponents like you’ve done in the past in smaller classes . Idiot. And you he’s only fighting no hopers lmao he unified the middleweight division beating every champion there , how are champions non hopers lol casual kid
