How did Canelo go from being the same strength as Mathew Hatton to pushing back Golovkin, Smith, and Kovalev? Is it the Mexican beef that has made Canelo as strong as an Ox, or is it genetics combined with the fact that he turned Pro early? Based on the eye test, I would say that Canelo is as strong as any light heavyweight not named Beterbiev or Smith Jr. Canelo is the youngest of 5 brothers, I think. I wonder if they are all strong and bull-like like Canelo.
He trains hard and believes in himself and trusts God. That is a combination for success no matter what you do in life. Through god all things are possible and no challenge is too great
He knows how to leverage himself. How to push and pull at the right times. He's short, stocky and stout. He's normally shorter, so he's usually got a lower centre of gravity. Like you say, he's bull-like. Another thing which isn't strength perse, but it does help make people fight timidly. He's very accurate with his counters, and seems to have a sort of thudding, dissuading punch above 160. Him landing them cleanly makes people weary, and if he's walking you down while you're weary of his punch, you're gonna back off. Basically, he's short, smart and hits pretty hard. Oh, and Roids. Roids. Roids. Roids.
He has a great team around him and is dedicated to his craft. He is also naturally built like an NFL linebacker albeit a mini-version. He probably has benefited from PEDs but he is not alone in that.
All true. I'll add one more, Canelo's core is also incredibly strong. A strong core would help overcome a resisting force when walking someone back.
Its not all about strength, he knows how to make opponents miss and tire out, and then punish them in return. His body shots are a lot better now and he manages his gas tank well, his stamina used to be treadfull.
He never pushed back golovkin golovkin had him running back in the first fight and in the second he put more of a effect but got hurt the most
The real Saul Alvarez died in a car crash in 2017 in the Capitol racing on the Periferico. What we see now is Canelo's transhuman clone. Grown in a vat from enhanced DNA. Bioengineered flesh over a hyperalloy combat chassis powered by a micronuclear reactor which is run by cutting edge tactical OS running on quantum firmware . His vision encompasses the entire light spectrum and his skin is the latest reflective camouflage. After the last patch between Smith and Yildrim, he is now so fast that if you slow down the fps sufficiently, you can see him land a combo, run over to his corner and eat a philly cheesesteak on a hoagie and then be back in time to slip the return fire from such as Yildrim(what there was of it) and counter with a body shot.
Maybe his terrible stamina was due to too much upper body movement combined with cutting too much weight.
He’s pretty strong. Probably a combination of good training and nutrition. Oh, and MUCHO PED’s. That and lax testing that goes on in boxing. He’s not the only one so I’m not singling him out. The ginger Hulk is definitely getting some assistance form more than just the judges.
Canelo is a fraud he ducks every credible champion in his division by fighting bumps who make look invincible excuses for not fighting GGG again Charlo,Caleb Plant at 168,Joe Smith at 175 he couldn't beat Chris Eubanks.
