    Please, by all means, explain this logic to me. What exactly did you write there?

    Pac retaining his power by weighing in at 138.
    For De La Hoya, Pac weighed in at 142. Are you saying those extra 4lbs cut down his power?

    Very strange. Canelo at 154 couldn't stop Matthew Hatton (a blown up 147lber). Couldn't stop an old shot, blown-up, undersized Mosley. Couldn't stop a shot blown-up, undersized Cotto. Went 6 rounds before stopping a chinny, undersized Khan. Now he's breaking bones, dislocating shoulders & stopping bigger, stronger fighters with relative ease. Somethings off.

    That increases power like 100,000 fold?

    Actually yeah,
    placement & timing is everything.

    It’s why a body builder can get sparked out by a “proper fighting man”
    :deal:

    facts homie, let go of your hatred
    It will impair your vision.

    Canelo has likely been on PEDs a long time, but it's only since he left 160 that his power seemed to be upped a cler notch, and this has also coinceded with that he seems to focus less on combos and more on single power shots. Likely a deliberately change for facing bigger guys.

    That literally makes no sense.
    This is why I asked you to explain it.

    How did those extra 4lbs take away his power?

    Canelo’s punching power has improved. I wouldn’t call him a devastating puncher at 168, even after this performance. He beat a career 160 pounder in BJS and will beat Plant. GGG is fading but still has a good chin. If Canelo knocks him down or out and continues hurting guys and getting legit KOs, I’ll have to admit he’s become a legit power puncher at 168. The shot that busted BJS’s eye socket was good but didn’t knock him out. It was well placed and solid. Sorry to see a fight end with an injury even if not was legitimately caused by a punch.

    Great performance by Canelo. I’m glad it didn’t go to the scorecards. He’s definitely improving with each fight. I particularly admired his poise and discipline on Saturday. Good fight.

    Maybe, but Fury is such a big guy, it's hard to say. He's about a foot taller than Canelo, much much bigger frame, so even if he put on 20 pounds of muscle between two Wilder fights, that doesn't impress me as much. His muscles were probably undertrained for the first one anyway.
    Yeah, they are all on PEDs, but Canelo's transformation from the Cotto fight/first Golovkin fight period (2015-'17) to what we are seeing now (2020-'21) is more impressive, to me. And that's just from ages 25-27 to age 30 ....

    For whatever reason, Canelo took some time to compete with full 160 weigh-in MWs when he was first in the division, just those few years ago. Now he's walking down guys like Callum Smith, full 168ers (with no rehydration clause).
    I think that's noteworthy.
