Comments Thread For: Video: Canelo Shows Power, Speed and Defense

[PeasantCrusha]

He was working with a trainer. Hardly showing us anything. All he's ever shown us is that most of the time when he outweighs his opponent by 15 pounds, he wins easily. However, anyone close to his size, they claim is too big.

Many fighters could drain to take on smaller dudes, and those that do are cheapening the sport.

He constantly drains 20 pounds to fight in a weight division below where he should gets little respect for me. Most of the props Canelo gets is from what he is made out to be. He's had some decent fights, and looked bad in all of them.

Lara, a much smaller fighter, was able to at least make it a fight, if not a draw or even beat him. Canelo got the benefit of the doubt.

Kirkland was a joke.

Now Canelo is gonna fight at MW (where he should be), but it's not a MW he is fighting. He basically wants to get the MW belt without having to fight someone close to his size.

I'd be fine with that if he'd just keep his agreement to fight the real beast of the MW, but that isn't what his promoter seems to be laying the groundwork for.

All this talk about Canelo can still make 154 is what shows me the kid isn't that good. Many fighters can drain down 20 pounds, then put it back on and fights small dudes. GGG came in at 157 last fight.

Now if GGG did what Canelo is doing, he'd have the haters in an uproar.

Anyone Canelo fights at 154 is overmatched by his fight night size of 175.

He gets this belt, and then refuses to fight GGG, or vacates, it will prove all along he and Goldenboy are phonies who want to use politics in the same way Floyd has.

Same game.

Worse part is they are holding up the true MW champion in the process. He can't unify as long as the lineal champ keeps ducking this mandatory.

Canelo fans will say but he is only 25. Well he has 40+ professional fights and claims to be one of the best.

Then prove it, don't duck the mandatory.

Boom!


I have said in the past. Canelo gets all this praise for being "brave" and yet, the dude hides out at 155lbs. Anything to AVOID men his size.

Only on BoxingScene do you have the peasants in denial, who claim that Cotto is terrified of GGG while hyping up Canelo as a warrior willing to take on anyone at...


155lbs.

You have to be kidding😂

Cotto can't take too many of those body shots.

If canelo stays flatfooted like that with cotto he is in for long night! Btw who is the body puncher in this fight, you guessed it not canelo

[The plunger man]

canelo's feet are stuck in mud......one thing I do know with cotto is he can box and punch.....and we also don't know if canelo can really take a good shot....cotto has got decent power and I'm curious to see how he reacts......another pointer is the fact canelo lost almost every round to floyd when he faced him and cotto gave mayweather a tuff fight.......no fighter is certain to win this fight
