Can we stop this Mikey is better than Canelo talk now.

Well Canelo did and I'm not that impressed.

 

mikey is still developing, believe it or not. he is looking for fighters that are going to show him stuff he has never seen before, and win or lose, hes gonna learn from it and get better.
i always thought lara was overated and canelo just fought the wrong fight. angulo and hurd were no flukes. mikey would ko lara in 10.
there is no weapon that you can bring that mikey cant prepare for. only because his mastery over all the fundamentals tells him which reaction is the most appropriate for every action, and hes got the nerves to react accordingly.
where canelo is at right now, i predicted 3 years ago, both the how and the why. check my post history.

 

youre right, hes a natural counter puncher, but his perfect 1-2 will force everyone to have to open up at some point, and you can match him or beat him the first couple punches, but he knows what comes after that. he dont wanna chase you, but if he has to he will. he walked broner (who i put in the same league as lara) down, and made him looked scared. seriously, what has lara done to deserve such lofty status?

 

see, we judge fighters differently. i think you look for who who looks slickest, i look for who is more effective in achieving the end result in the ring, which is to exert your superiority within the set rules. if wilder ko's the top 5 hw in less than 3, he is a better fighter than loma. he will never be a better boxer, yet no fighter at any weight would stand to him.

 

like i said, i wont argue mikeys opponents, i was just wondering who lara has beat that stacks up higher than what broner did across 4 divisions, win or lose.
