    Dude wtf.

    Canelo has one of the best chins in boxing history. I would say that Beterbviev would TKO him 2/10 times but never KTFO.

    The only time we have seen Canelo hurt properly was when he was like 19-20.

    He's not been close to going down once since then.

    I ain't his biggest fan as some of the people here may know but his chine is proper granite

    Minimum requirement would likely be a cruiserweight, who is both hard punching and an explosive fast starter, to stop Canelo in a round. Even then it isn't a guarantee given Canelo's defensive ability and experience. I mean a bloated 35 year old hard drinking Qawi was able to go rounds against Foreman.

    Canelo is very good defensively and has an A1 chin wherever that defense fails, I personally thinks he makes it all 12 (battered and bruised). If Beterbiev stopped him, it would be late...............9-10-11 etc........

    Fun fact: Canelo has more first round T/KO´s than Beterbiev.

    It would definitely be due to accumulation of damage and fatigue, not a one punch KO.
