What happened to Canelos power?

[Quiksilva]

yet ggg was perfectly fine and totally prime when he faced canelo, bud is older than canelo etc, doesnt really make sense but then again canelo fans dont often make sense

Re-fix my spelling: Btw, I called it, saying Bud was going to beat Canelo. Even placed a double bet on it and won. **

I thought that version of Canelo was avg vs GGG in 1/2, the best I saw IMO was with Caleb Plant/BJS/Kovalev. .

i think that was more down to the quality of opponent

Taking nothing away from Crawford btw, I knew he was going to win hence why I placed the bets and won.

Honestly, Canelo only KOs people who aren't on his level. As soon as he steps up then he meets guys who can handle his power.

Yeah its exactly this. Canelo's MO is to fight guys at a lower technical level than himself so he looks good. when he faces opponents who who are a bit more technical he struggles.

I’ve wondered the same thing about Canelo’s power. Back when he fought Billy Joe Saunders, every punch looked like it carried a ton of weight, but lately, it feels like guys are walking through his shots. Part of it could be age, wear and tear, or just fighting naturally bigger, fresher opponents who can absorb more. Crawford’s comment about not feeling much power surprised me, though. I even came across a discussion on https://cnn.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html where fans debated this exact issue, it seems we’re all searching for answers.

Crawford is not a small boned 140 pound fighter. His walking around weight is well over 180 pounds. He was draining himself down over 30 pounds to make 147.

Canelo wasn't a big one-punch KO artist. He set up his punches with combinations. Still, we have to question how much his PED use helped him win fights in the past.

Bud put Canelos power in a box like Ali did Foreman, like Ali did Liston, like Leonard did Haglers, and didn’t let him open it until after the fight lol…

remember bivol withstood beters shots who is a big puncher and bivol says canelo does hit hard with his single shots but id say his power is on the wane but bivol and bud are solid guys who can take a shot

Bivol also said that Canelo was only a hard puncher when he wound up to throw the punch.

For me Canelo`s best win is knocking out Kovalev. Yeah, Kovalev was shot, but still, knocking out a light heavy titlist was great for a middleweight.
