Can anyone explain how someone goes from being staggered by cottos brother and unable to walk down floyd to taking flush shots off punchers like ggg and jacobs without flinching whilst walking them down seemingly with more strength. Is it elite level neck training or something that can enhance chin?

it's baffling that he ever fought at WW with that tank like body of his
that fight against fat Cotto made him realize it was time to move up

Staggered when he was a teenager didn't even go down. You got elite guys who became world champs but when they were older then Canelo was still in amatuers with head gear on getting dropped. You don't understand how a teenager gets better as they get older and more pro experience?
As for Floyd he made alot hall of famers look bad let alone a kid as young as canelo was in his first PPV headline fight. Not to mention he wasnt fighting at his proper weight. Canelo is just now entering his prime age as a man and now has had about a dozen of these big PPV fights as experience. Canelo has been around so long and in the public eye that you forget just how young he was and how uncommon what he did really is. Fighters don't just come out the gate as young as he did fighting the level of competition he fought. You witnessing greatness and he is still peaking and getting better every fight.

When he got wobbled by lil cotto he was a 19 yr old kid who was far from his prime up against at the time a full grown man. Keep in mind a guy like ggg was still fighting with headgear at that age agianst other kids. Canelo was learning on the job and that he did so now he is clearly in his prime is a freakin beast.
P4p numero uno baby

This is a very good question, obviously the whole tainted beef thing would bring questions up in that regard, I also find it hard that he could go 24 rounds with GGG, 12 rounds with Jacobs and not go down once, he has a good chin and he always seem to roll with some of the punches, but watching him take those punches I also have to question how he does that without taking any damage.
