    Does "Canelo" lack elite power?

    I like the kid, he has the makings of a future PPV star, however after watching his last few fights, as well as tonight's, is it me or does "Canelo" lack elit power. Jose Cotto, his is a Lighweight seemed unfazed by Canelo for the most part and N'Dou, who we know has a good beard never appeared hurt despite being outclassed thoroughly. I know "Canelo" is young and his body is still maturing, but its just something I've noticed...

    He's only 20 years old. He'll probably get there.

      Kermit Cintron couldn't knock out Ndou ether.

      Lovemore is made out of something different than normal people.

        dont matter matter hes 20 now so hes punching power is not going to change when have you seen a guy be a soft hitter at 20 than turn into a knockout machine 5 or 6 years later in his prime, it doesnt happen, the guys got above average power but defintelly not the kind of power people were claiming after the baldomir fight, I think he hits about as hard as a guy like antonio margarito, hes not gonna ko you with 1 shot, but if he keeps landing again and again everntually he'll wear you down and can then take you out

              his conner man told Canelo not to punch him with full force, just get off your punches on him and move out. I agree with you on his power maybe he is playing it safe or maybe his power is not that great.

                But N'Dou looked hurt at times against Cintron, who is a certified ****er

                But overall, I agree that he's a tough bastard

                I just don't think his power will increase too much

                  He doesnt have one punch KO power but no shame in that. Few fighters have truly "elite" power

                    Yep

                    He was off balance against Paulie.

                    Ndou is the ultimate survivor.

                    Not sure any WW could KO him.

                    Now I bet you the guy who went life and death with him would not go twelve with Canelo.
