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.
    Some ppl genetically have high cardiovascular endurance, some don’t. Canelo’s body type... a thick, stocky, muscular fighter generally won’t have the best endurance, they have a lot of muscle that requires a lot of oxygen....now factor in Canelos style of throwing haymakers and flashy combos and you have a guy that will be tired by round 8.

If the kid could improve his stamina he'd certainly be elite and if he also learned how to fight on the retreat as well. His stamina is the biggest detractor for him.
      Stamina won't improve. Either you have it or you don't at that stage of his career.

        Floyd would beat GGG easily. Oh, you meant boxing's 2nd biggest star Canelo.

          canelo fought a good fight but he lacked that killer instinct imo...was ggg there for the taking, maybe, but canelo wasn't willing to stand, trade, and see whats up...

            larryX....."Pretty sad GGG couldnt ko a cancer patient or a flat footed redhead"

            Why do you hate om men you don't know? Are you afraid most hours of the day?

            Why does a "cancer survivor" make you think a negative of him when in fact it's a huge positive.
            Flat fotted? It seems Canelo was flying around that ring up on his toes very nicely!

            Larry why are so negative these days, you used to be a student of the game now your just a bitter fellow.

            Yeah Larry you still haven't thanked me for correcting your "roll under". remember Larry. hahaaha

                SO what.

                I remember when the best boxers were Oscar Tito Shane forest and none would beat a 36 year old Hopkins

                This is no different

                  Boxing needed canelo to ascend, this fight showed canelo ain't elite, never was and why he chased smaller fighters, created his own weight class to hide in....He's supposed to be the future but after that fight, he has a one year window before the air gets too thin, had he avenged Lara, fought andrade, fought a charlo, then he wouldn't have those shadows chasing him to 160, bad enough GGG ain't go as planned with him clearly losing 8-9 rounds....canelo is looking like food out here, as his speed n skills slip with weight
                  Canelo not elite, get a load of this guy. Pathetic.
