    Maybe, but Fury is such a big guy, it's hard to say. He's about a foot taller than Canelo, much much bigger frame, so even if he put on 20 pounds of muscle between two Wilder fights, that doesn't impress me as much. His muscles were probably undertrained for the first one anyway.
    Yeah, they are all on PEDs, but Canelo's transformation from the Cotto fight/first Golovkin fight period (2015-'17) to what we are seeing now (2020-'21) is more impressive, to me. And that's just from ages 25-27 to age 30 ....

    For whatever reason, Canelo took some time to compete with full 160 weigh-in MWs when he was first in the division, just those few years ago. Now he's walking down guys like Callum Smith, full 168ers (with no rehydration clause).
    I think that's noteworthy.

    Fury was significantly more muscular around the shoulders even than before the lay-off. He also punched significantly harder.

    His harder punching had to a large degree to do with that he sat down more on his punches, of course, but I see a stylistic change with Canelo as well. He focuses more on single power punches and has probably worked more on maximum power in single punches in training.

    That could be the difference maker along with physical maturity and less draining. Of course, he could be on some new gear as well, but I don't think it's self evident.

    Clenlo couldn't knock out 46yr old Shane Mosley in a pitiful fight.

    Couldn't hurt, stun or drop Cotto years later.

    Never made Mayweather so much as blink.

    but now he's blowing people's body's apart like shotgun shells. Surreal.

    Also weird how Valdez is also landing ICBM bombs and blowing away giants like Miguel berchelt.

    Absolutely, Roberto Duran was a great puncher at 135 pounds . He was still able to punch decently at 160 but he couldn't KO hardly anyone. Now look at Canelo, he punches far harder now than he ever did over 20 pounds heavier and they are of similar height .The only way Duran would turn into a crushing knockout puncher at 160 would be steroid use. He'd have beaten Hagler with the pharmacy cocktail that Canelo uses. It is amazing that people won't see that Canelo is a roid monster

    There's nothing to explain. Especially if you apply some critical thinking skills.

    Canelo is not a true Mexican. If he was he would be sharing his beef recipes with his fellow Mexicans.

    John Ryder hit harder after he moved to 168.

    Lara never slept guys in one round at 154 like he just done at 160

    You just can´t explain it. Or for some odd reason refuse to do so.
    Why?
