    the fact that he went the distance with a guy that didn't really deserve his win over steve rolls pretty much says it all. i bet canelo would be pretty decent if he had a jab instead of just throwing one big telegraphed power shot at a time

      I thought Saul had a lot of years left due to his great defense

      but in post fight presser he mentioned body not responding to what he wanted to do in the ring

        Nothing left. Berlanga/Munguia types are pushing him to high/extreme diff

          He's washed - feet are slower & heavier than ever before, less lateral movement and throws one telegraphed shot at a time. 38 year old GGG who fought Derevyenchenko would've knocked him out for sure.

            As good as nothing.

            21 years a pro, well beyond his best and as good as done now.

              He has a problem when fighters don't come to him. His feet are too slow.

                Slow feet and stamina he went far despite these two glaring flaws

                was a good face of boxing making nearly all of the big fights
