Possible Reason For Canelo's Stamina Issues

It's not the Vaseline. It's his weight draining prior to fights and mesomorph body type that carries more muscle that causes him to run out of wind.

He's not blessed with the best stamina, there's only so much you can do about that, just like with power, hand speed, foot speed, chin, etc...

Someone also pointed out on another thread that he puts so much into every movement. Not just loading up on punches, but all his defensive manuevers as well. That takes a toll on your energy, and why he needs to fight at such a measured pace.

It's obvious why he has piss poor stamina. It's because of the way he fights. He prioritizes way too much explosive moves with his combinations and defensive manuevers. He doesn't have the skill or calm cool temperament to fight in a phone booth, slipping shots by centimeters, with slight smooth calculations. Instead he uses every muscle in his body, from his feet to his head, to explosively make a quick strenuous move rather than a well timed smooth calculation that prioritizes conservative technical ability. IMO he's going to burn himself out and crash and burn the way he fights. Well unless he returns to 155. Beyond that though he won't last above 154, he just doesn't have that 3rd gear, let alone 4th or 5th gear to get the job done whether its winning every crucial exchange when behind on points or taking out a wounded opponent. He doesn't have that kind of power to continue being a defensive first guy.

this is basically it, in addition to genetics.
