Spike would batter Canelo ffs. Have you not seen the size of him:roll: Eubank rag dolls him around the ring. He's burst boxer in spurts. Eubank is an all out 3mins a round type o guy
I actually think that's a big problem at middleweight. Even though I think Middlweight is a decent division, I wouldn't characterize a lot of the fighters there as "smart". One of the reasons I think Monroe is better than people think is because he appears to be a smarter fighter than a lot of people in the division.
What the **** did I say about Spike????? Nothing, I'd give him far more of a chance than I would Eubank actually. And actually no, Eubank fights in spurts as well, he flurries and backs off, repeatedly throughout the round, its not constant, Canelo's counters would dissuade him from leaping in so irresponsibly. I'm not saying Canelo beats Eubank, I did a whole ****ing thread about how most MW's beat Canelo, but with CEJ's **** poor ring IQ, Canelo would have more of a chance against him than most.
Lol Spike gets bashed by Cotto and Canelo ffs, there are levels in this sport and he is clearly levels below them, even factoring in a size advantage which he probably doesn't have against Canelo any way. Canelo doesn't punch any harder than Spike imo but he has much better delivery. I still think CEJ would walk through him and batter him though, Canelo is tough as nails so it could go 12 rounds and Canelo is super tough to beat on the scorecards so you never know.
I did the RBR for it, its one the IB missed. Eubank held a hell of a lot for the first 6 rounds. He looked very average for the first half, until Chud gassed then he went all out.
So Eubanks wrecks Cotto and Canelo now? But Daniel Geale who was touted as GGGs finest win was KTFO by Cotto... :think GGGstans at it again
Cotto fought Geale at 157, and because of that was obviously not at full strength. Same thing that happened when Pac fought Cotto.
Geale usually comes in at 159.. You're telling me he was brutally KTFO soley because he had to shed 2 extra pounds?? Geale did not enter the fight ripped and cut up with hardly any fat.. Losing 2 poudns of muscle is one thing and it hurts a fighter, losing 2 extra pounds of fat and water is another thing and easily doable without majrlor consequences... If you believe Cotto only Ko Geale because of 2 pounds then I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
I don't believe it's the ONLY reason. But I believe it was a major contribution in addition to the fact Geale had just recently lost by knockout. Cotto is a better fighter no doubt but if he had faced Geale before he got Ko'd by Golovkin and at 160 it would have been a decision instead of knockout imo.
Nothing to do with Eubank starting slow, bjs is a better boxer and will always be a better boxer, can't hit someone who isn't there no matter how fast you start. No jab and can't judge distance, two things Saunders is very good at.
