    He was draining at 155
    He’s gonna be a force at 160
    It took him 9 rounds to dispose of Liam Smith
    Just 3 to KO the much bigger Fielding

    his power today was visible. those were some rib breaking shots on a big man. he looked solid too, always well balanced. i thought i saw a slight drop in speed, but i didnt really get to see him get out of 2nd gear.

    Yeah, I think so too. Throws the whole "Canelo is a midget" nonsense down the drain (no pun intended).

    Yep. He looks much better at 160 than at 154. But, he had to wait for GGG to get old, hence all the years of eating carrot sticks and salad :lol: Now he can finally get his hands on all the Mexican beef he can eat.

    Yup. He'll never test positive again so can juice all he wants.

    Of course money talks. All involved have families and mortgage and bills to pay so to get a cut they allow these illegal activities to continue. I mean some have princesses they have to send to college etc. So yeah, i understand why it happens and will continue to happen. It's too easy for Oscar Dela Fishnets.

    AS he damn well should be at the weight,all those who think Canelo is clean could maybe answer why only in relatively recent times has it been possible for a super middleweight to drain down to 154lbs,look like death and then less than 24hrs later weigh in as a super middleweight?answer,he was using artificial means to make that weight or he’s an absolute miracle of nature,a one off who defies all logic.
    Oscar used to go on about growing like he was talking about a baby but apparently even after the age of 25 in the case of Canelo you just keep on growing lol.

    Doesn’t matter one bit for him if he does test for anything,as expected it’s done nothing to harm his career,save his reputation amongst boxing fans but since when did that bother Canelo and Oscar?

    His power is based on his level of competition and if that person is a punching bag..He didn’t KO Trout Lara or even shot Mosley at 154 but he looked like a killer against Kirkland and Angulo.. Didn’t drop or KO Cotto and GGG at 155+ but looked like a killer vs Khan.. Didn’t KO a big Chavez but looked like a killer vs Fielding.. He wouldn’t have looked so powerful if the opponent was Callum Smith tonight..

    I agree Smith would have been a different story but tbh he did look better than ever bullying Fielding.

    it is the opponent. When a fighter fights lesser caliber guys he pinpoints his punches more and gets more knockouts. He should move up and fight the Alvarez/Kovalev winner if he has so much confidence.

    He was pumped full of PEDS, had illegal wraps and had weight drained Fielding with an obnoxious rehydration clause. Canelo is the sports biggest cheat.

    Fielding was a lot bigger as in taller but he is a skinny runt compared to a jacked Canelo. Canelo looked better at the weight than Rocky

    I mean Canelo has power at 160 but not dropping or hurting GGG should not be the measure of your power, GGG has one of the best chins ever in boxing, certainly top 5.

    Size doesn't tell enough to claim this as fact.
    Especially VS far weaker opponents
