What prevents Canelo from dominating?

up the dose, but that's risky

He is a tweener.

Canelo does a whole lotta nothing. He uses a lot of upper body movement and throw one or two eye catching shots. His opponent misses a lot and he connects once or twice.

Jacobs had Canelo against the ropes, threw about 20 punches, connected on about 8, Canelo hit him twice and the crowd goes crazy. The announcers praise Canelo for connecting with the more meaningful punches.

On the flip side, Jacobs landed a monster overhand punch in a round that was fairly even, the same announcers say Jacobs can't win by landing one shot at a time. Plants a seed of doubt in the viewing audience of what Jacobs is actually doing.

Canelo only has to look good to win. He's never in danger of getting KO'd. Even when he's buzzed he plays it off.

He doesn't have to dominate to win fights.

He also gets the benefit on the cards.

I had Canelo vs Cotto 8-4 Canelo but score cards were wide.

I had Canelo vs Lara 8-4 or 9-3 Lara and when they read that one wide score card everyone thought it was Lara's, nope Canelo.

Both GGG fights i thought he lost.

Trout was winning the first part of the fight. open scoring ruined it when they said Trout was down of course that had to effect him.

Draw for the May fight

I had the Canelo vs Jacobs fight 7-5 Canelo and that was the best judges did in a Canelo fight i seen. Was really surprised.

You had him drawing with Mayweather? Are you f'n kidding me?

As for the question, he's not as dominant as say a Mayweather/Pacquaio/RJJ/etc, but he's facing better competition than other top fighters. Canelo is a damn good fighter and no shame in not having these dominant wins over other top fighters. He's been competitive with everyone minus Mayweather and that's good enough.

Low activity.

The fact he's fighting elite fighters.

Fought Trout at his best, Lara at his best, a very good version of Cotto, Golovkin and Jacobs top two MW at the moment besides himself.

That's what keeps him from dominating. He's got the best resume in boxing and should be the #1 p4p fighter in the world. He's fought the best and beat them all except Mayweather. First GGG fight should have been a draw, Lara fight could have gone either way.

/thread.

An injury ?
Getting complacent ?

If he stays true to himself, there's no stopping him.

**lopetego** · 05-05-2019, 10:24 PM

If ginger was fighting complete cans like most of the other P4P fighters, pretty sure he'd look invincible too

You don't dominate guys like GGG or prime Lara

He plays it safe so he wont get stunned & hurt by a bodyshot or anything like that so any possible weaknesses wont get exposed
