What does it take for a Boxer to beat Canelo ?

[BodyBagz]

Kamil Sacramento....because the sport FORCED them to fight
Chenko....serviceable tough guy. Wuzz robbed of that W. Even with both eyes killed.
Rolls....again, GGG hands were tied. They HAD to fight
Nelo 2 The Mexican Standoff
Vanes....A tune yup fight
Nelo 1 GGG's claim to fame
Jacobs....That flash kd saved GGG.

2 quality names, 3 tough fights (1-1-1;0 ko's)
1 eh name, lucky to get the W
3 legit BUMS

EVERYTHING before this is pure GARBAGE

You dont have to be on a hype train to recognize the quality, they weren't gifts they were close fights and GGG is 1-2 of the division, Canelo has no right going to LH he beat Kov like a quality fighter its not easy for a MW to do, GGG wanted no part of 168 yet Canelo ran to it and above.

You can not like a fighter but you can still give credit where its due, the tall poppy syndrome is alive and well.

Well Canelo at one point said he was “no middleweight”, and wanted the GGG fight @155lbs. That fight stalled until Canelo got closer to his prime and GGG got further away. GGG was clearly not “too big” as Canelo was the one climbing the weights after. But it’s all worked out for him. He’s the best in the world. He’s improved so much. GGG should do something crazy like fight Beterbiev if he wants to push the needle on a third Canelo fight.

Edgar Berlanga will be the guy to beat Canelo in about 2 years.

He wont lose again . He's a quality fighter but you don't just have to deal with that aspect . He has all the advantages coming in . He will decide everything leading upto the fight. He plays the A side card as good as Floyd did if not better.

Even if you take away the A side privileges he has he's still an amazing fighter. I guess it would take a real slick mover with a great jab to out point him. But even then you are relying on fair scorecards. Not so much recently but at middle and light middle he didn't seem to have to do much to pick up rounds in close fights.

[Mister Wolf]

They have to be extremly accurate because he has good defense and hit hard so he starts to second guess his actions and doesn't attack them with complete confidence. The sharp counters from Floyd is a perfect example of this.

[JakeTheBoxer]

If you take all that A side "superstar" **** aside, Canelo is a great boxer. You must be a full package to be competitive.

Stiff guys like Fielding or Smith or guys with drinking problem like Kovalev had no chance in start.

It takes a good boxer with good defense and great movement.

He's lost a few but has momentum now. He is hard to beat. But he's not getting best versions of opponents even.Smith had injured bicep

fair judges and to NOT be strategically matched. Canelo is a B+ fighter who has been strategically matched.
Lost to Mayweather and Golovkin. Was given a gift and even in one of the Mayweather judge's card he was supposedly a draw, LOL!!!!

Who RIGHT NOW beats him? Not back in 1974. Canelo is vastly improved since Mayweather. GGG deserved that first fight, but Canelo more than redeemed himself in the rematch. A small minority of knowledgeable fans would put their money on GGG in a third fight.

Edgar Berlanga will be the guy to beat Canelo in about 2 years.

OMG. Desperate times for PR. As soon as Berlanga steps up one half notch he's going to get smoked and cast off into boxing oblivion. Put him up against Carlos Gongora if he's such a beast.

Correction: Smith NOW has an injured bicep/tricep. Re-watch that 2nd round to see when that injury started.
