    When you think of elite boxers you can usually pick out a single weapon that they are known for:

    Tyson - Left hook
    Pacquiao - Straight left
    Mayweather - Straight right
    Lewis - Jab
    ODLH - Left hook

    I was wondering what Canelo's is? Does he have one?

    His best punch is probably his straight/overhand right, he's buzzed, knocked down and knocked out a fair few people with it. All his punches are good though, his strength is his combination punching not one particular punch

    I agree it's hard to find one signature punch to pick out, I agree though his best asset is his combinations especially his counters. Canelo is one of the best at countering in combinations in the game right now.

    size advantage? i think he is killing himself to make 154, which accounted for his **** stamina.


    and flopjr;s best weapon is timing...





















    ...when to take the fight and when not to.:good

    It used to be the love and affection of José Sulaimán.

    That uppercut he hit Angulo and Lara is starting to look good
