LOL, he looked like an Irish version of Provodnikov against Lara a couple years ago.

When was Canelo ever a come forward brawler?

Hes naturally a counterpuncher, he only walked Lara down because he wasnt able to counter the sharper Lara who had much quicker feet. He even tried to counterpunch Floyd Mayweather which was the wrong strategy but thats his style.
Canelo often counterpunches on the front foot. He'll stand infront of you, slip the opponents punch then land his own. Thats why come forward fighters like Kirkland, Liam Smith and Chavez are tailor made for him

According to what I've learned on boxing scene, Canelo is a brawler with bread and butter punches and no defense (obviously, because he's Mexican). GG is white and Mexican so he has great offense plus the added benefit of defense and is a smarter fighter.
If you don't believe me you can ask Maxi and Jubei.

Canelo fights stationary or backwards. Almost never forward.
So all this talk of him "running" just shows you voted for Trump and Duterte. Nothing impressive about it :/

Loma, TC, Usyk, Ionue, Rungvisai, etc. are more than just "straight up and down". And that's the truth

They tried to play him up as a Mexican brawler for a while, even when it was clear he doesn't fight that way. Canelo's team has done the same ***** Golovkin's team is now, where they say the other guy will run and should stand and fight.
But obviously Canelo would be *****ing stupid to stand in the pocket and brawl with Golovkin so why should he fight that way if he doesn't have to?
