Can Beterbiev knockout Canelo?

So he should move upto 175lbs after the Plant fight then, right?

 

Beterbiev is vulnerable to getting knocked out too... he's been down several times btw.. Callum Johnson knocked him down

 

If all this is true, why did he vacate the 160 title to avoid GGG after beating Cotto, on the grounds that he 'was not a natural 160lb fighter' or some other such pish Oscar was spouting?

Nothing in boxing in last 5 years worse that Canelo vacating that belt on the grounds that he was "too wee". My arse!

 

That's refreshing that you at least concede that Canelo did actually duck GGG after he beat Cotto, props!

Would have been interesting to see what would have transpired if them met then.

 

Nice to see! Respect!

 

I am not sure he would hit Canelo clean. Canelo is very well skilled and knows the game well, so someone has to have speed and a jab to get that punch on him, and still Canelo has the tricks. A top fighter can land on him, but where are these fighters. The guys he has fought lately are not fab 4 material., they are below that level so he has sort of had his way and has looked dominant. Can you imagine the Michael Spinks who fought Qawi against Canelo? That would be a wipeout win for Michael. But, I give Canelo credit for being a top skilled experienced guy who makes decent fighters lose rather easily.

 

Hard to land on Cinnamon clean to the melon agreed! But what about the liver, kidneys, ribs and solar plexus. That's where Beterbiev's work would go IMO. Canelo's defense is good and his head movement is exceptioonal, but he can't keep the Beeb off his body

 

He would be punching also and he has the skills to draw him in.. He is so smart and experienced, so he knows the whole game..

 

Canelo has skills but he doesn't have enough skills to keep Artur form breaking a rib or two - at the very least slowing his already questionable stamina to a crawl. IMO.
