Comments Thread For: Ryder Confident: I Believe Canelo Struggles With Southpaws!

No way Canelo struggles with this bum.

Fighters I give a chance to beat canelo:

1. all cruiserweight champs ( they are too big and too strong)

2. Bivol, Beterbiev at 175

3. Callum Smith, Benavidez at 168

4. Andrade, Derevyanchenko at 160

Anything other is waste of time, including GGG 3, because GGG is not getting any better.

You give a “chance” from Cruiser to 160... don’t stop at Cruiser might as well list HW and Welterweight

A 23 year old “struggling with pure boxers.” Lol.

First, there’s no such thing as a “pure” boxer. Sticking to code fundamentals and being strict with it is one thing, but then there are upper echelon elites. The only “pure boxer” Canelo ever really faced was Mayweather. “Pure” since Floyd could do almost ANYTHING in the ring. Lara and Trout, older guys than Canelo, Southpaws, but Canelo held his own with his limited high level experience at the time. Today’s Canelo is leaps different than the 23 year old Canelo. This is the case for every boxer that evolves in style. I would say a post Floyd was more impressive than the offensive PBF considering he was lighter. Put Canelo’s Ring IQ today back into his body at 23 and he would’ve done even more amazing techniques against Lara and Trout.

Good points.

I don't see Ryder getting the fight, and not because he's a southpaw, anyway.

It is hard to say in which division Canelo plans to stay, he fought in 3 divisions in last 2 years.

I like that. Old school yo-yo weights. It means Canelo is one of the very few whom if he truly pushes to do 160 means he’s dedicated to a drain or to stay comfortable at 168-175. No other boxers are doing this. Many prefer to Max out to calibrated drain and compete there. What Canelo is doing is so underrated but that’s fine. Go back to guys like LaMotta or SRR and they’d fancy what Canelo is doing today. No one is forced to cap at a limit or drain at a limit. Ironically this is what Canelo was criticized early in his career like many today and is now doing the opposite. Casuals don’t understand this.

I mean, WAR CANELO!

Everyone has issues with southpaws, they do everything backwards, just ask Smith...

[ShoulderRoll]

Slick, southpaw boxer types are the worst possible opponents.

I don't think anyone looks good against them.

Ryder isn't that type of southpaw, doe.

He's not wrong is he... anyone with a decent set of eyes clearly saw Lara beating him that night. Canelo's record should have 3 definite losses on it ( 4 if you consider Golovkin the victor of the second fight) but as always you get some weird scorecards with him.
