Is Canelo Shot

Canelo is really small for 168, you can’t really judge his ability based on KOs. Sure he didnt KO them but he decisively beat all those guys.

 

not shot physically...just bored with it all at this point. can you blame him? he has all the money and all the stuff. he has patriot prestige in a highly nationalistic culture. he has white privilege where it's not a myth.

mentally maybe, tough to get up at 0400 outta that swank bed, ya know?

 

Shot to me means he's done at the elite level. That's hard to say right now. He's clearly past his prime though.

 

"Shot" would be very strong. Plainly past his peak but I'd describe him as being in the tail end of his prime.

 

Irreversible slide has started.

 

I been saying he has been done since he had a tough fight vs Ryder. Most of the boxing world has been in denial. Ryder, Mungia, Berlanga, Scull all got knocked out in their next fights after Canelo.

 

Going the distance with Ryder and having a tough fight is not what an elite fighter does is it? he has been done at elite level for 3 years and you still can't see it..

 

No, you're thinking of Crawford.

 

You thought he had a tough fight with Ryder? I didn't. He just didn't stop him but he still clearly won the fight. I probably gave Ryder 1-2 rounds. Done at the elite level to me means they aren't competitive. They have become a gatekeeper. Canelo hasn't shown me that. What he has shown me is he's past his prime.

 

Yes he did. Go look at Canelo's face at the end of the fight.

Do you think an elite fighter would go the distance with 154 pound charlo, berlanga, mungia, scull, ryder, then get easily beaten by a 38 year old welter?

 

He's probably shot.

 

Not shot by any means, but not the fighter he once was either.

I think Canelo is more addicted to the fame than the boxing at this point.
