    That's not an excuse Clen demonstrably wasn't as big and powerful at that weight. He's walking down giant career SMWs like Smith and LHWs like Kovalev albeit shot ones now.

    Need to check if BJS made any bets against himself, looked frankly suspicious.

    In regards of Canelo, as soon as he gets more or less good opposition even faded opposition he has trouble.

    He said he was waiting for the later rounds. And in the past he always seems to fade in the middle rounds. Dude literally ran from Kovalev in one the closing seconds of a middle round.
    Tired against even Smith, against whom he was dictating the pace.

    The best resume of the current crop of fighters minus Pacquiao of course but he doesn't count due to his semi active status.

    Saunders is talented but in this game you need to lead the life consistently. Canelo set him up beautifully.

    I never saw Canelo getting out boxed. I saw him saving energy and choosing his punches to hurt that body. He gave a couple of rounds away. But when he felt Sanders was ready he took him out of his misery
