He is a wicked body puncher with both hands. He didn't floor Jacobs so I doubt he floors Kovalev.

just shows you how much highlight reel KOs can affect casual's perception of a boxer. That's why Khan still gets the big fights, he's a name that can deliver the highlight reel KO for a promoter's up and coming star. That's why Crawford failed miserably when he couldn't KO Khan and ended it with a lowblow, Arum was probably really pissed at the outcome after he overpaid Khan lol

Suddenly he's going to ko a full fledged light heavyweight in kovalev? My question is,who has canelo ko'd or dropped that shows he has the ability to do so? Let's look at his Kos and knockdowns in his last 15 fights.
Fieldings (tko) paper champion who had been demolished by Callum in one round. Showed up for a paycheck to be a punching bag.
Liam Smith (ko) paper champ at 154 who won a vacant title and hadn't fought anyone of note before canelo. Still went 9 rounds with the guy.
Amir Khan (ko).... Need I say more?
James Kirkland( ko) weight drained and chinny as hell. Previously destroyed by a pillow punching ishida in one round.
Angulo(tko) he was a custom made punching bag,and yet the referee had to stop the fight since it got embarrassing that canelo couldn't put him away. Has been stopped by both Kirkland and Lara.
Austin trout (Ud) only decent fighter who canelo managed to drop.
Lopez (tko) Fought a blown up 140 lb fighter and 154. Was never good to begin with,and best win was a post Maidana and mayweather Ortiz.
Canelo has decent power that gets people's respect but he is by no means a big puncher. He only shines with chinny,undersized, weight drained,or crappy fighters. He is incredibly overrated on this site in the power department,and is not going to stop a dude who is used to taking punches from full fledged light heavies.
Big Boys next stage and then on to Barney undies.

Sounds like CANELO should be getting more credit for his wins & accomplishments since he's beating all these bigger fighter's with pure skill.
☆CANELO UNDISPUTED #1 P4P☆

They think Canelo will knock him out with bodyshots lol. As if Canelo dont have to worry about counter punches while going low. Like Kovalev is just gonna stand there and get hit to the body.
