Why does Canelo Alvarez lack stamina?

[Wolfie*]

It'd give him the much needed energy since he doesn't have to drain himself as much. Look at it from this perspective, his stamina has been looking better as it is and that may have something to do with fighting at 155. Canelo came out strong in the last round against Lara.

Good point. Maybe combo of that and learning how to pace himself. Let's see how he looks in the next fight.

[BOXEO _]

He's fighting out his weight class. Look how drained he was at 152 against Floyd. Hell he's still draining himself to get down to 155. Those 3 extra pounds help his stamina a little bit but he should be fighting at the full 160. Anything less is just unhealthy.

becaues he's hard headed and not dedicated to the proper training.

He is huge for a 5'8" fighter. He looks similar to a MMA ground and pound fighter. I just don't see where he can go if he fills out anymore he will be among the smaller middleweights in terms of height and reach that is a legitimate contender. Maybe he should cut back on his weight lifting.

Doesn't have the genetics, has a lot of muscle and would maybe benefit from moving up in weight.

Hes short and stockily built like a mini Tyson. Its more a wrestlers physique than a boxers.

[DosRounds]

It's all mental. ALl in the mind

but unlike tyson he doesn't have any power or head movement. he tries to outbox long guys who know how to use distance and he just looks silly.

[Beercules]

He's a drunk Irishman, what do you expect?

[Humean]

Partly his athletic profile, explosive type, more like a sprinter than a long distance runner. Unfortunately not fast on his feet like a sprinter.

Move to Wild Card and get on their blood doping regimin.

Like the one that the Mayweather gym uses? Just saying, TMT fighters pop for juice on a weekly basis.

As for Canelo, he tries to make every punch so explosive which will zap you of energy pretty quickly. He should probably train like that too, practice putting everything on all of his punches all of the time so he can adapt to it, however slow that process may take. Maybe just push himself to the limit in cardio exercises, HIIT ones, until he thinks he is going to puke. After a while, his heart will get so strong that his recovery will take 10 or 15 seconds and then it's game time again.
