    You're ready to make this proclamation after only 17 fights? Against limited opposition?

    I completely disagree. Especially when it comes to setting up body shots, Canelo is operating on a whole other level in that area.

        In terms of good opposition I’ve only ever seen him bother people with his body punching, not really hurting them. Lara comes to mind. He wasn’t enjoying those body punches, but not like he was doubled over at any point.

        Inuoe has iced several good fighters with body shots.

          Disagree. Canelo is decent to the body, but I have Spence above him with Shannon Briggs a very close second, honestly. Current Briggs is now what Foreman was - heavy handed and dangerous close.

            Great body work last night. He hasn’t typically attacked the body so relentlessly in the past. I think after that liver shot he knew Fielding was busted up and kept in the body.

            He hits the body hard. If this fight causes him to be a more consistent and persistent body puncher it could really take his game to the next level.

              Errol Spence, Golovkin, and Estrada are the only others that come to mind.
              I would remove Golovkin from that list and include Miguel Berchelt who is dedicated to attacking the body.

                Canelo was super clean in the rematch.

                And f.uck, your idol is that fu.cking sh.it of MAtthysse?

                The guy that dont won a single round against a 60 years old Pacquiao.

                  Nah, is very good but not better than Nelo.

                  Nelo lands with uppers to the body, right hands, left hooks.

                  Naoya only lands with this right hand.

                  He is very good but not better than Nelo.


                  Loma is right

                    I agree. Rocky wasn't a great opponent, but Canelo's body attack really is superb. Golovkin ate a whole bunch of those in their rematch.

                      He is good but not to be in the top-7.

                      He never K.out a guy with a single shot to the body.


                      Sor Rungvisai is better, he knocked out Chocolate with a super body punch.

                      But he lacks of technique
