    Thats a weak excuse, Canelo got caught flush plenty by GGG.
    Fury has a shaky chin while Canelo has granite whiskers

    And? He was still there.

    If you look at Canelo's improvement, defensively speaking, from just before the Cotto fight to now has been nothing short of outstanding.

    Fury is twice Clenelo's size and at least five or six times more athletic. And he's covered in flab too.

    Canelos defense is much better. Fury has close to a ten inch reach advantage sometimes. Makes it pretty easy to avoid getting it

    Fury is 6'8" 270 pounds

    Canelo is 5'8" 175 pounds

    Nobody else at HW currently can do anything close to what Fury does and nobody historically of his size has ever done what he does.

    We've seen plenty of men at Canelo's size have that ability.

    People also need to understand the difference between passive and active head movement. Canelo used to do alot of passive energy wasting stuff although he doesn't really do that anymore.

    Fury being taller than a majority of his opponents is a truth though which benefits him. When he did fight men close to his size in Wlad and Wilder though he still has no issues.

    Both are very competent very experienced and can see punches coming long before they are in motion.

    Foreshore that's a wollop and a half, but like fury showed put him under pressure cut off the ring close down his room make it hard to wind up the big right. Needs that room watch his feet when he unloads, very planted wide stance.

    General the ring and wilder don't have much of a plan b.
