    Why Can’t These Tall 6 Ft+ Mofos Do What Short 5’8 Floyd Did to Alvarez

    Height and longer arms should make it easier to outbox the opponent

    These tall guys look goofy in there with Alvarez

      These tall guys didn't have Floyd's foot speed or hand speed. They also don't know how to fight off the ropes like Floyd did.

            Canelo has a very good defense and was a weight drained rookie at world class against Floyd.

            Canelo will continue to improve until he fights beterbiev which imo never happens because of the skills and power he brings.

              Floyds skills are on another level to Callum or Kovalev. Plus dragging Canelo down to 152 probably didn't hurt either.

                Because they are not a world class level.

                IMO nobody under 175 beats Canelo. GGG already beat him in my book, but now he is too old.

                  Floyd knows how to slip punches. These dudes are catching Canelo’s punches on the arms and shoulders for 12 rounds. You have to make Canelo miss.
