    Y'all really underestimating Canelo here. Best MW in the game today.

    Superior head movement, counterpunching, and probably chin than Conn.

    I see no way in heCK Conn would win this. Too slow.

    Conn had one of the best chins ever at that division. Canelo definitely doesn't move better than Conn either.

    You realize that Conn was faster than Canelo, right?

    I don't think Conn had better movement than Canelo, Canelo has elite head movement. Chin? Canelo has never been dropped.
    Speed? Up for debate.

    Canelo by ud. Conn was not even a lhw.he was more a super mw, Conn could not even hurt him and canelo has even faster hands. Canelo is better despite nostalgic people can't deal with it

    Two different classes of fighter. Conn a seasoned, well-schooled ATG, Canelo is modern.

    Son, I've been laughing at trolls on this site since you were in diapers. Bring something new to the table.
