    No ****, I've been saying that for years on here. He's a heavy enough puncher to violently KO the glass jawed, or drop you if he connects right, but he isn't a one punch KO guy against fighters with even moderately decent beards, much less legendary iron chins.

    And that was a Clenned up to the nines Canelo aka Clenelo or Canelo 2.0 who was sporting a brand new Incredible Hulk physique and was hitting harder than ever. Kazakh iron.

    I remember the commentators saying in that Cotto fight that cause of the difference in size Cottos punches had little effect on Canelo and that Canelo appeared to have more power or weight of shot behind him and still Cotto went twelve rounds.
    I’d say early on he’s as dangerous as anyone but when he gasses it does like he’s slapping a bit.

    showed too much respect maybe?Canelos record doesn’t suggest he hits like a girl nor does it suggest he has great power.

    Was gonna say something very similar,the very thing about him at light middle and his Canelo weight was all about being the bigger guy and sometimes against weight drained guys like Kirkland.
    Canelo at 160 still has cut a lot of weight but I’m not sure he has the advantage anymore which is how it should be anyway.
    Perhaps the strange thing is in the run up to the first fight and this is where did this “Canelo the power puncher”thing come from?

    The body. GGG or Canelo need to break the body down. Break the body and the head falls just ask Kovalev lol!

    The first part doesn't make sense. I'm talking about CANELO'S force of his punches. That is independent of who he is hitting. Also Canelo got bigger anyway so he would have hit harder.

    The second part is true.

    canelo is not a ko artist, but he can crack when he wants to. i think he is at the best weight hes ever been, and he has perfected much of his personal technique, so he is hitting harder than he ever has. liam says he hits harder than mungia, and that kid isnt feather fisted.

    Is this a joke? Angulo was done from the first round (perhaps even the first few punches). Alfredo was concussed the rest of the fight.

    Canelo is a heavy enough puncher to keep GGG from going to ape-**** on him.
