    Canelo is the same size as Qawi and Frazier but much better and modern training, better chin and defense

    lol, you never fail to surprise @MarkusFlorez99.
    @NoNeck, you're the biggest Foreman hater on the forum what do you make of this matchup?

    I just want to know what Peralta had that Canelo didn’t.

    Canelo is bigger than a good chunk heavyweights from the past. I mean he likely steps in the ring at 180 these days that's what heavyweights used to weigh around the Joe Louis era.

    He isn’t though.

    He’s 5’7, with a 70” reach.

    I meant just in weight but in height yes he is quite a bit shorter at 5'7.

    It's often funny whenever Foreman comes up. Lol.

    Do you give Canelo a good chance?

    It might be a good fight if the ref prevents Foreman from doing his trademark two handed shove and other dirty tactics. It would be Canelo against a big guy who telegraphs everything.

    Wasn't Frazier 5'11"? No matter, Frazier would destroy Canelo, who got destroyed by Foreman. Foreman booty wacks Canelo for fun.

    It still wouldn’t be easy though.

    George might be 76, but he’s still got the power.

    Maybe it’ll happen.

    He’s still running scared from David.
