Stop spreading bad science. Canelo would have to live at elevation for a year to get any real benefits.

watch out for the right hand

It's not even that simple. Everybody reacts differently to the altitude. Some studies actually indicate that it's better to live at high altitude and train at low altitude, and others suggest that there's no overall benefit.

In any case, this isn't the first time Canelo has trained in Big Bear so given his history of stamina issues, I don't think altitude really helps him much. His naturally stocky frame and the fact that he's cutting so much weight to make 154 probably negate any benefits from altitude training if there even are any.

Don't matter where he trains, elevation may improve his stamina but it won't improve his skill.

dude by.far canelo is the most skilled fighter floyd has ever fought,from his ability to slip and weave punches is amazing,floyd will have a hard timw catching canelo as well,and floyd gonna see a different offense he has never seen,canelo is one of the best combination punchers ive ever seen,these angles he throws his punches from are gonna confuse floyd,mayweather does the same crap every fight,nothing different,straight right dip to the left,canelo will slip.that and catch him with an uppercut...watch 2 weeks baby,2 weeks!
