    Food for thought...If GGG had no power, would he be using a style intended to use his power?

      He has other attributes but without his extremely hard punch he doesn't have much to fall back on.
      So in your opinion all ggg is is a power puncher?

        This^. What if u take Mike Tyson's power away? Heck what if u take Babe Ruth's, Frank Thomas, or Mark McCguire's home run power away? What if u took Michael Jordan's shooting ability away? What a ridiculous premise. They are gifted athletes and thats why they are in that position that they are in LOL.

        What if u took Hugh Heffner's Money & playboy mansion? Would he be ****ing 20 Year old models? But u cant take It away, so yes he is.

            What if we gave Canelo every advantage in a fight with a much older, smaller fighter and then against a literal zombie would would we have?

                  Watch some of G's stuff in the olympics. His power wasnt as huge a factor. Hes a great all around fighter but I will say that when he met someone of close to equal talent, reach and power. He looked a little less like superman. Canelo has only one attibute out of the 3.

                    However, he DOES have power. So, we're just entertaining fantasies if we talk about him not having power.

                    True, I was just playing along with the silly thread.

                    He would be a different fighter with a different style if he didn't have power.

                      If you take away the biggest strength of any fighter, it's going to significantly affect them.

                      However, GGG has more than power. Surprised to hear anyone in the industry thinking otherwise - it's just being ignorant.
