Is canelo a one dimensional fighter?

Definitely not one dimensional, but not the most versatile either.

 

So was Joe Louis one-dimensional? :think

 

He's a multidimensional slow footed fighter with so-so stamina...

 

Good counter punching, hand speed, combinations, good defense, Canelo is a damn good boxer puncher no way is he one dimensional. However, I think his size advantage is big factor and I believe at 160 he will have a tougher time.

 

So what your saying is that he does everything technically right but he doesn't have the "athletic dimension"...as in their is two dimensions....technical and physical????:roll:

 

Canelo can do a lot of things against a certain style of opponent, namely brawlers. He looks like a world beater with faced with an opponent that tries to brawl because he usually has them outclassed by a wide margin on technique and physical gifts(see: Kirkland, Angulo, Cintron).

On the flipside, he's not very good against boxer-types(see: Gomez, Trout, Floyd, Lara) because his jab is his worst punch, he's slow on his feet, his technique edge is either not there or marginal, he doesn't know how to cut the ring off well, or defend well against the angles a good boxer gives him. He has still managed to win(controversially) against the boxer-types he's faced other than Floyd in close fights due to his backing and power. He has not, however, developed much at all in the last few years against that type of fighter in my view.

 

definitely not, though countering is his bread and butter hence he destroys guys like Lemieux, Angulo, Kirkland, Cotto(though Cotto can box well too).

 

:deal

 

He's two dimensional

 

Agreed. He has a bright future ahead of him.

 

He does have slow feet, but that's no death sentence. Plenty of successful boxers have.
