    How Canelo is built, earlier in his career I always wondered why he wasn't a bomber. With how his frame is I actually always thought he was a light hitter and should've hit harder than he actually showed in the ring. At this point I simply think a few factors (He's more confident with his stalking and defense in moving forward without getting touched, he's larger and less weight drained, he's quicker than nearly everyone he's been fighting against lately, he's punching sharper, he's sitting down on his shots more) all lead to him delivering heavier shots. (I am not even touching the subject of PEDs, I'll let other guys toy with that)

    He still ain't no bomber though,

    I thought he was ever since he laid Baldomir out. I wouldn't call him Julian Jackson, but he definitely has concussive punches.

    It was the second fight with GGG that one rose an eye brow. I was just surprised! Coincidentally that was right after he tested positive. Ever since he has been hulk smashing opponents left-right and center. Breaking eye sockets and ribs the roid raging ginger.

    My hero? Wild boar so I assume you're talking about Fury?

    Hero? A little much don't you think considering I picked Wilder 3 times to beat him.. you must have me confused with somebody else.

    Then the rest of em
    Canelo really has fought them all more then any current fighter.

    So then it was KOvalev when he became the power puncher.

    Videos everywhere of ronnie shields and abel sanchez saying they are illegally wrapping his hands. Still lost to lara and ggg once. The second was contraversial. Hasnt fought a real fight since.

    So your contention is that Canelo isn’t a power puncher?
