    Describing Canelo's Style

    how would you explain Saul's fighting style to someone?

    He's a very versatile fighter and can do most things well

    An aggressive counter puncher is probably the best way to describe his style

        As most boxers in the TMT gym or random pros saying, he’s a complete fighter. Has power in both hands, and knows when to be flexible. He’s in his prime, but I don’t expect him to be as good when he hits 34. At that time he will have morphed into another defensive genius like all ATG’s before him.

        Canelo can do any style. In round 8 he decided to move around and bait Kovalev as he did with GGG in round 1. Reynoso’s told him to stop because it wasn’t effective and Kovalev is better at range. Notice that Kovalev has difficulty fighting on he back foot as GGG. Difference is that GGg’s ring IQ is significantly better than Kovalev and threw more jabs, doe boring, to continue having Canelo reset. That was basically the first fight.

          He has that added confidence of the PEDs giving him beyond elite/human punch resistance. Doubt we see anyone below Cruiserweight troubling him, even when hit flush. He seems to have given up on trying to box, and has become a strict steroid counterpuncher/swarmer, as the good fellow Divine Hammer said.

              Greats like Floyd have hit the canvas and been stunned numerous amount of times, Canelo hasnt touched the canvas infact i cant recall a fight where he has even been dazed/hurt.

              The way he fights? he deals exclusively in hooks to the head and body

                    The fat slob in you’re avatar is the only drug cheat.
