    Canelo is overachiver in my eyes

    To be honest, I didn`t expect him to beat Cotto, GGG, Kovalev and Callum.

    For each of these fights I felt like: Canelo is gonna lose.

    Well, not for Smith fight.

    Ginger is overachiever in my eyes or maybe I keep underestimating him over and over again.

    Yeah GGG fights were close, yeah Kovalev was done, but still I felt like Kovalev should have knocked him out.

    Canelo achieved more than I expected.

      lol Kovalev called anyone who believed he had a chance against Ginger, an idiot. Kovalev outright said it was a cash out, because he wasn't given any time to prepare after almost getting KTFO against green Yarde in his previous fight.

        Man, I don`t buy that ****.

        What should have he said after being terribly KO`d by the middleweight? Like hell, yeah, sure he said "I came for a cash out anyway, I had no chance to win."

          His work ethic is to be admired honestly he has enough money to last 100 lifetimes but the bloke is back in the gym 2 days after winning another belt.

            We knew he was more skilled than these guys but the questions were his chin and stamina. Turns out he has a monster chin that even the biggest punchers around his weight can't dent and looks like he's worked on his stamina. The guy is just an all around beast, a complete fighter.

              These are his words or your spin on other words ?

              If he said that show it will you ?

                I jumped on you for hating on him not that Im a Canelo fan I just know he is all quality and ATG in the making, I dislike it when guys are blatantly hating on a fighter, you know what I mean not a bit of criticism, just hating, the more I see it the more I dislike it and its all over this forum and spoils the place.

                Its good to see you look a bit deeper at him even if you have doubts youre starting to add him up and that means your eyes are opening up growing, its very hard for someone that dislikes a fighter to be able to see the good thats there, even more so to openly give credit when its due, its non existent in some people, thats what defines a true hater they never give credit.

                There is not a great fighter from any era I didnt enjoy watching fight, when you watch the boxing you realize we are lucky to have the opportunity to see them.

                Life is short man hate is not worth the time.

                  I thought the Cotto fight was competitive and arguably a draw, I don't complain about him getting the decision though. Cotto wasn't exactly Superman though

                  I thought he clearly lost the first Golovkin fight. He impressed me in the second one though.

                  Smith was kind of unproven against elite level fighters and was a big underdog.

                  I do think Kovalev was done. I don't think Canelo beats the LHW's who are still at their best (Bivol and Beterbiev). No shame in that, they're much bigger guys naturally.

                  I think Canelo is an excellent all round fighter. He seems to be a grafter and has continually improved. I also wouldn't be at all surprised if it turned out he'd done a lot of PEDs throughout his life.

                    Tbh he lost to Cotto & GGG twice. Should have 4 losses. Canelo is an elite fighter those losses wouldn’t diminish him in my opinion.
