What happened to Canelo's KO power?

Why risk getting KO'd when you can cruise to a wide victory against mediocre opponents? He always has the judges on his side and fights guys who would be unforgivable get KO'd by.

 

He's older and slower which affects his explosive power and his cumulative KO work rate. Also, he moved up to 168. These guys are bigger and harder to put on the canvas.

 

Who knows, maybe Bivol took alot out of him

 

He’s fighting guys bigger than him. They are more durable and hit back harder than guys smaller than him. Bud is closer to his size, and that size doesn’t usually see the 12th.

 

It does though? He's honestly never been much of a KO guy. Getting a mental image of Angulo being held by Tony Weeks and Angulo standing there and just turns and looks at him like wtf

 

Has he turned vegetarian perhaps?

 

But then he also KO´d Baldomir with ease. But yea, KO´s were never his specialty. He simply does not have that snap in his punches, but he does put a lot of weight into them, and thats why he occasionally scores the KO - even against sturdy opponents.
Canelo has not had a T/KO since 2021, but he has knocked down 4 of the 7 guys he has faced since.

But as @Fogger said: Canelo is slowing down, and is fighting bigger guys now.

 

He actually did, before the Bivol fight. And I am 100% convinced thats why his stamina looked so bad on that night. He then immediately stopped and reverted back to his old diet, and said something about it being too difficult due to his lifestyle. I imagine he meant boxing.

David Haye went vegan too, and then his body completely gave up on him.

 

Middle weight power doesn't travel well up to SMW when your opponents are naturally bigger than you.

 

He would have been missing that clenbuterol enriched steak he had previously been eating.

 

That joke has been done to death now, I actually find it annoying now. Cant talk about Canelo without someone making the joke. Happens every time - which is kinda funny on it´s own, I guess.

I was kinda of a vegan by accident, and for a long time. I ate mainly carbs, and rarely ate meat. I did consume some milk products, but in small quantities. People always told me I looked super pale, and I was close to being anemic.
Then I switched my diet to mainly meat and milk products - immediate change in quality of life! I was an avid runner back then and saw the results very quickly: Ran 8km distances with an average speed of slightly below 10km/h. In a couple of months I was up to over 11km/h on average. I could also workout more often, and I never got leg cramps or stomach cramps during exercises. Also gained some muscle mass without trying.

Veganism sucks, don't do it!

 

Old age and he is not on his natural weight classes.

He is a welterweight on the basis and on the limits a Middleweight not a natural Super Middleweight specially the current Super Middleweight who are very tall and massive physically.

 

He just cruises now when he has established control instead of pushing for the stoppage. He still drops and hurts everyone. I think the power is still there but the mentally isn’t. Maybe it’s age related or maybe he’s just comfortable now. Once he’s in control that’s good enough for him.
