    His stamina’s not getting better.

    Imagine If Amir Khan could improve his chin...

    Or if victor Ortiz could grow a heart & some ballz.

    I think you both underestimate speed. Khan has fast hands and that's gotten him where it's gotten him. There is pretty much no one Khan can't get to with a punch, his problem as you've pointed out his chin. With that said I don't know what or who is in Canelo's camp but stamina can be improved in your 20s and it's something he better address soon because the 30s aren't kind to anyone.

      What are you talking about? Jeff "The Hornet" Horn DID beat a 35+ year old.

        It's not just his chin. He has very poor ring iq. He dosen't vary his tempo or change the speed of his punches. He is very easy to time.

          Well, the first round and all of the middle rounds. I scored a latter round for him as well. I could rewatch the fight if you'd like. Anybody objective knows he did significantly worse that Jacobs. Even one of those Mexicans around here that threated to beat people up for talking bad about Canelo scored it for GGG.
          He def did not win the 1st round nor the 2nd or 3rd..damn sho lost the 10th 11th and 12th..so what clear rounds did he get?

                When did pre-made fan-base make you the best? Canelo fought around 154 to avoid the dangerous fighters in the division. This guy gets P4P ranking fighting Khan, Kirkland, Lame Smith and Chavez Jr. Jermall Charlo and Jacobs will smash him at 160, so those fights will never happen. If he gets the belts in a rematch, he'll vacate any belt those 2 become mandatory for and his pre-made fan-base will co-sign. mb

                  I wouldn't say it is sad, because the 36 year old is a super star.

                  Credit where due. Canelo is still very good. Also, he isn't boxing's biggest star, unless you just consider North America. Further to that, we know his "stardom" is more around smart promotion and padding records whilst fighting in protected (Vegas) surrounds.

                  Let's see him fight the other top active prime fighters..it'll never happen.

                    Charlo and Jacobs are too close in age for Canelo. He'll fight Lemieux.

                      Yea...cuz canelo gets KOd all the time. Op is right tho...in these type of fights, the young guy usually takes it. You think too highly of ggg to say he should have KOd canelo.
