He hasn’t had a fun entertaining “fight” since GGG 2. His “fights” against Jacobs, Kovalev, Yildrim, Smith and Plant were absolutely atrociously boring. Probably because they were real totally not fixed “fights”. Let’s say they were totally real fights, they were ****ing boring. The best of the bunch was the Plant “fight” but that was shite too. Even if you believe these fights were real, Canelo’s legitimately boring as hell to watch. You are not telling me plodding forward throwing punches to arms and elbows, whilst the opponent pitty pats, is fun to watch. His fight against Blowjob Saunders was mildly entertaining but fell short of anything worth a second viewing. Even Canelo getting schooled 12-0 by gear one “don’t hurt Canelo “ fighter in Bivol was boring as hell.
Besides ggg 2 I guess Jacobs was mildly entertaining with a few dramatic moments. Other than that? Not much.
Canelo has developed a really ugly, unappealing style since moving up from 160, where he plods around the ring just looking for one single, massive power punch at a time. The most entertaining fight post-GGG 2 was the Saunders fight, and that’s largely because Saunders to his credit took the fight to Canelo.
I mean it was quite funny Bivol embarrassing him in first gear, but it just wasn't that fun to watch outside the odd several punch combos from Bivol.
