    Made Lara run like he has never run before once he started getting timed from round 4 on.
    Made Cotto arm punch for the entire fight for the first time in his career.
    Made Golovkin fight off the back foot and sent him on a nine month recovery vacation for the first and only time in his career.
    Made Kovalev go to sleep with a single punch.
    Made Smith go into survival mode and ripped his bicep off his bone.
    Broke Saunders' face.

    Yeah, his power is clearly a myth lol

    Clen goes from struggling to KO 154 pounders to all of sudden knocking out light heavies, breaking arms, breaking bones with one shot LOL

    Apparently all his stamina issues are gone too

    It's funny how Lara was apparently running from Canelo (it's called outboxing) but Canelos running from GGG in the first fight was outboxing (which he wasn't). You don't mention the obvious fact Canelo was huge at that weight (154) and did land punches but FAIL to hurt the smaller guy.

    Did you watch the Canelo Cotto fight? A lot closer than you fangirls think.. And you're also not taking into account Cotto was on the decline and tiny compared to Canelo. Not really a fair assessment is it

    Canelo was on the backfoot the entire firsr fight..Golovkins back didn't touch the rope in the second. Canelo landed several flashy cocked back shot in both fights and failed to deter let alone wobble Golovkin.

    Again I've addressed all this and last three points but continue with the ginger ball sucking

    There's a few reasons
    Moving up > more weight behind the punch.
    He is fast and accurate so if the shot lands clean it can be damaging.
    Being a great counter puncher he can cause harm catching guys mid swing.

    But he doesn't have guard splitting power as evidenced in the Callum Smith fight

    Let's not try and downplay Canelo here. Love him or hate him, he hits like a mule for such a stout wee guy. There's no denying that...

    I do however find it interesting how the same people that discredited Pacquiao for climbing weight classes and knocking people over never call out Canelo. One failed multiple tests, whereas the other has never given a dirty result.
