Do you believe Canelo can take a punch? Who's the biggest punchers he's faced?

if he really wants to go to 160 and have a feel out fight up there he should go and fight khurtsidze

I'm sure avtandil will not mind what weight he comes in at

 

Jose Cotto had him badly hurt, but that was a long time ago in a different weight class. He has faced some decent punchers but I don't recall many bombs landing on him. He likely has an above average chin. That said, he usually significantly outweighs his opponents on fight night.

 

Canelo takes a punch very well, and has has the advantage of owning the thickest neck i've ever seen on a SWW. He's been in with better punchers than GGG, the guy people on here claim has the most iron beard in history.

 

Curtis Stevens,Lemieux,Rubio are better punchers than the midgets and completely shot punchers on Canelo`s resume.

 

You mean the Rubio who got Jantuah'ed?

 

Lemieux couldn't even knock out Rios, and looked pudgy and everything.. Canelo whoops him if they fight, then you'll get your question answered on whether Canelo can take a punch. But I seriously doubt you'll give him credit anyways.

 

In Lemieux defense , Rios has never been knocked out in his entire career .

So him failing to stop Rios is really no big deal .

You're not always going to knock out every opponent you fight .

But yes Canelo vs. Lemieux will finally reveal if Canelo can indeed absorb a MW punch .

 

Yeah, I agree with your last point.

 

Yeh because Rubio was so prime, and not a career SWW at all. Stevens and Lemieux can punch a bit, but both lack the skills to make their power count.

 

I think Canelo has a good chin, a very good chin actually but we will see just how good it is when he moves up to the full 160.

 

Canelo has a good chin he has been hit flush numerous times and took it well.

 

According to Canelo, James T. Kirkland and Alfredo Angulo were more proven as Golovkin and both are big punchers...

 

Yeah Canelo has a very good chin but the thing is he's always so much bigger than his opponents.

 

Its a question that is impossible to answer for most boxing fans who dont particulary rate him or consider the levels of opponent he has faced are worthy to give a truer reflection of his ability to absorb a punch...I would merely add that he carries power and hasnt looked troubled on to many occasions throughout his career!
