Canelo's SMW resume is aging like a fine milk

Finally got a non controversial win over an old Golovkin and even then, still convincingly lost the last chunk of the fight.

Beat Ryder, who went on to get dropped a few times and stopped by Munguia in a pretty one sided beating from what I recall, less than a year later.

Beat Munguia, who went on to get stopped by Surace who only had 4 KOs in 20+ fights coming in, once again less than a year later.

Beat Berlanga, who went on to get dropped multiple times and stopped by Sheeraz, someone making his debut at the weight, once again within a year of Canelo fighting him.

To Canelo's credit, he dropped the last three of the above early on, but yeah I'd say his Undisputed 168 run is firmly in cottage cheese territory at this point.

 

Crawford barely beat Madrimov 2 weight classes below 168, when he knocks Crawford out nobody will give him props, they'll say he bullied a 38 year old welterweight. I can already see it a mile off.

 

I think him unifying the belts was a solid achievement, but what he's done since then in dragging up MWs and ducking Benavidez has been pretty pathetic.

 

Of course he won't get props.

Like you said he really struggled against Madrimov 2 classes below.

Based on your own post you shouldn't give him props neither.

 

Thing is with Canelo hes not even a big MW let alone a SMW.. people dumping on him with triangle theories aren't factoring that in.. Sheeraz is prime, 6'3 & probably walks around at 190lbs+.. Canelo is 5'8, more of a natural MW & past his peak.. & I'd still pick Canelo to spank Sheeraz .. never rated Berlanga either, he's pretty useless.. so who cares how the win ages, SMW is a wasteland right now we all know that but Canelo gets the job done .. whereas Sheeraz has already looked flaky against Adames.. i suspect hes packing glass

 

Gone be happy when Crawford gets stopped. He done lost his mind

 

Canelo goes about 5 years between challenges. Floyd, GGG, Bivol. All losses. B or C fighters in between.

 

In terms of Canelo not getting these guys out of there I think you have to take the context into account. Canelo is so comfortable he fights at his own pace without even getting out of first gear while guys who end of getting the knockout like Sheeraz yesterday enter the fight with more intensity as they aren’t looking at their opponent from a view of being so superior. Canelo just breezes like he owns the ring so unless you are good enough to test him he won’t go through the gears.

 

And nobody should either.
