Canelo vs all current fighters

beats all most likely, has the most trouble with bivol and benavidez.

 

Smokes 160 (Golovkin too old and shot now).

Benevidez is a 50/50 fight.

Joe Smith is a 50/50 fight.

Loses to Bivol and Beterbiev.

Assuming no imposed short training camps or rehydration clauses.

 

too slow and old, lacks mobility. hes ripe.

 

Punches like a mule, is bullish strong and extremely durable. He has a decent amateur career too.

 

im just matching what i see in his current form against what i see in canelos current form. canelo stops him. he would have more trouble with the speed of benavidez who is big, fast, young, and can crack. and bivol, who will be much harder to get to and pin down.

 

I am a Canelo fan but I believe Caleb Plant is going to beat him. Styles make fights.

 

I dont know if he will win, but he certainly isn't afraid of Canelo.

 

Loses to Bivol and Beterbiev

Benavidez and perhaps Morrell are the only intriguing fights south of those 2

 

Bivol and Beterbiev would be his toughest challenges, I think. Benavidez would also be a good one.

Beterbiev looks probably the most difficult to me, so strong and relentless. It's hard to handle that in a bigger guy. Benavidez is also strong and relentless, but probably just a notch or two below. He's also less experienced, taken Beterbiev's amateur career into account, and has that long body for Canelo to plant hooks in.

Bivol would be very tricky with his size and skill.

 

Exactly this..

"Canelo fights the best duuuuhhh"...no.. No he doesn't you morons. You don't just look at the names you look at the context.. This a concept if fangirls don't seem to understand.

Canelos resume -
First 40 fights of Wilder esque can crushing... Honestly this is pathetic. I've heard people say Canelo did this because he didn't have an amateur career which is false because there is a conversation with Ruiz where Canelo explicitly says he head 40-42 amateur fights.

The highlights of those 40 fights - (in addition to weight bullying at 154) shot 40s Mosley, shot old Baldomir, the great Matthew Hatton and getting wobbled by Jose Cotto.

After 40 fights of his promotion narrative building/fake fighter manufacturing they decided to step up somewhat. He then fought a very close fight against Trout, a fight he very arguably lost.

Canelo then went on to get a boxing lesson from a cherrypick gone wrong 36 yo Mayweather.

Canelo then got CLEARLY beat by Lara but got the decision. This was an 8-4 fight to Lara, Laras straightz were consistently snapping Canelos head back. Canelos work mainly came from inside glove slapping Laras hip and elbow.

At this point it's only Lara, Trout, Mayweather that are the worthy names on his resume. And he got lessons in 2 of them and arguably lost the other.

Canelo then beat a much smaller reckless Khan and a past it small Cotto. Both of which were very competitive fights, Khan arguably being up on the scorecards. People also argued Cotto won, I didn't personally but it was much closer than the scorecards suggest. Anyone giving credit for these two wins is not a fan of fair boxing or credible wins.

Canelo then fought Kirkland (lol I've seen media still use this to make out he's a power puncher), Liam Smith (put up better fight than his fight fixing brother, but European level), and JCC Jr (lol another suspect fight).

So we are 50 fights in and the only credible match ups Canelo has been in is 36 yo MW (lost), Trout (arguably lost), and Lara (clear lost).

He goes on to rob a 36 yo GGGx2 despite losing 8-4 in both.

Rocky Fielding fight was a joke. Then he drains average Jacobs who decides to do nothing the whole first 6 rounds. Despite this he still makes it close and many had it 6-6. Regardless Jacobs shortly shows that either he is in ways past his best when he performs terribly against, let's be real, average Rosado. Rosado beat Jacobs more convincingly than Canelo

BJS was a blown up natural 160lber who looked trash in his last 3 fights and not fought someone legit since 2017 (Lemieux) - just look at BJS resume. Despite this Billy was objectively winning 5-3 at the time of the stoppage (even DAZN Chris Mannix had BJS up 5-3). Whatever your score on that fight the fact this trash BJS was very competitive shows Canelo is not as good as you fangirls make him out to be.

Callum robbed Ryder and has a trash resume, that's why he was chosen by Canelo. And to make things worse Canelo slaps on a short camp and Callum looks like he was paid to lose.

The Kovalev fight was an absolute farce and a clear as day fix

In summary, Canelo resume is manufactured to the core and its not like it isnt obvious what he is doing. He is not p4p material
