    One of the biggest things people overlook when picking Canelo to win is he has fought almost no big punchers in his entire career and actually has been protected by Oscar from fighting big punchers. He only fought Kirkland who was a B puncher but not an A level puncher. In that fight he looked like he was getting a little hurt at times but it was way too short to conclude anything. Lara and Trout can't punch. He was way too big for Cotto and Khan who were never 1 punch guys anyway.


    Taking power punches from a big puncher at MW will be his downfall.

    He has not been knocked out in 50 fights and good opposition. He can take a decent punch.

    Canelo more than likely isn't going to be taking any flush.

    Canelo's only chance of victory is to stick and move, pot power shot and avoid like hell to a points win.

    I think GGG is going to be too much of a force for Canelo to handle tbh.

    Late rounds KO for GGG.

    Jacobs supposedly didn't either and his chin was way more questionable than Canelo's

    No, he got KO'd because Pirog cut the distance using a double shift and delivered a perfect right hand on a Jacobs who was out of position.

    He got knocked down and then was afraid to commit for the rest of the fight. His chin let him down.
