    1) GGG's aura has gone.

    Canelo is as tough as they come and will probably never get stopped, but GGG's aura of stopping everyone is gone. People will feel confident of not getting destroyed seeing as his last three opponents weren't like previous 30 something, and actually gave it him back.

    2) Canelo was never in the fight.

    You would have to be a huge Canelo fan to give him 3-4 rounds at best. GGG stalked him down, had the higher output, took Canelo's "best" and gave it him back.

    3) GGG needs a new camp.

    If he brought in a world class S&C coach (his power seems to fade now) and a quality coach (he's just so predictable now) he will absolutely maul Canelo in a rematch.

    4) BJS will never face either man. He is miles behind these guys and will even wait for a young lion like Canelo to age.

    5) Canelo is not a MW.

    He is in the same spot as Arthur Abraham was. Too big for LMW and too small for MW. His lack of reach and power will cost him. Not to mention that his cardio wasn't great from carrying extra mass.

    1) canelo couldnt counter gg's jab consistently. Props to gg's jab.

    2) gg couldnt actually cut the ring well enough vs saúl "feet of stone" álvarez. Álvarez stood on the ropes whenever he wanted, once he wanted no more ropes, he could easily get out of them, 0 problems doind that. Completely overrated footwork from gg, his previous oposition has been proved to be utter garbage.

    3) Reinoso's advices were 100% right. He was a good trainer in canelo's corner, I'm no fan of him, but props to him for such a very good advices (that canelo mostly ignored, and if he hadnt, he would have won clearly).

    4) gg's power only exists in the very first part of the fight (oh, like any other figther's power). Overrated once he faces someone that actually knows how this sport works.

    5) gg's oposition has been utter garbage!!!!!!

    6) canelo and cotto can clean mw division with one hand, as clearly as gg did.

    EDIT: I agree with you when you say that canelo is no mw. I dont see him fitting in this weight. I agree with you when you say that he's no sww neither. Weird situation for him.

    I fail to see how Kell Brook & Danny Jacobs are garbage. But carry on...
