Am I the only one who finds Canelo extremely overrated?

I'm sorry but I just don't see any one thing that he does that separates him from everyone else at the elite level. Sorry but he just doesn't blow me away.

I agree that in a way he just has a lot of 'goods'...but when you put them all together I think it makes him 'great'...I do think he has benefited a bit from some good matchmaking/officiating, and hasn't exactly excelled in all of his fights...but at the same time I have always been impressed with him every time I have watched him.

Good punch resistance, good chin, stamina has improved and been decent really...good power, good speed, good reflexes...good combos, good defense...I agree that there isn't one thing that I am in awe of, but he does almost every thing really well and has no real holes in his game...very well-rounded really.

Nope, he is where he is because of robberies

for someone who is a natural middleweight, he really hasn't excelled at middleweight lol.

Even now when he's the face of the sport, he's pissing hot, and barely winning out here, no dominance, no masterclasses....but people are fooled easily these days

Canelo is #1 P4P.

Typical post from a broke peasant from kawktarzan. Yet GGG is fighting cheese venders named Rolls. Boxing is alive because of Canelo. Don’t like it, then go watch your donkey racing sport.

Great handspeed, great chin and really good upper body movement. He has good not great power, just adequate stamina and not very quick feet. Overrated by many, underrated by some.
If you think he’s better than Prime Golovkin, you overrate him.
Canelo is still a great fighter and he’s probably the best mw right now, though I think Golovkin deserves a rematch based on the closeness of the second fight and that most felt he won the first fight (because he did).

Canelo is clearly a phenomenal fighter... making posts like this, could speak volumes about your boxing knowledge

He isn't a generational talent thou, Elite fighter yes, generational no. He isn't Mayweather or Pacquiao or OLDH, RJJ etc etc.
