    Canelo is only 24 years old, but his performance in recent fights against Mayweather and Lara may suggest he is slipping.

    Be honest!

    No, he's just fighting some of the very best fighters in the world.

    He's actually improved, economy looks better, third punch in the combinations look better.

    No I just think he has fought different styles of fighters and it has exposed all of his weaknesses. He is still young enough to improve and more importantly...he wants to improve.

    Nope, it's the style of guys he's fighting. He actually looked better against Lara than he did against Floyd.

    Lara ran all night no one would look good against him. No he hasn't regressed, he's the same limited fighter who was getting outboxed by Alfonso Gomez for a bit. Despite his limitations he's still one of the best out there.

    He hasn't regressed but I think that he is just about all he's gonna be. He can't live up to the hype because he just doesn't and never will have the skills. He is not a talented fighter. I'm not buying that he's only 24 argument because if he was talented, one would see that shining through. He is merely a hard working slugger with some B class boxing skills. It just happens that a whole country loves him and he can do no wrong. However, as soon as he runs into a power punching boxer, it's nap time for little Miss Red Riding Hood.:bbb

    Two hard styles for him and he went 1-1. Trout is also not an easy style to fight either and he beat him. Canelo is fine he's learning and will become a better fighter in the long run because he faced guys like Trout, PBF and Lara.

    Nope. In fact hes gotten better.



    Competition matters in boxing. And will determine how good you look in the process.

    Just like Hatton. Once he faced a real champion in Floyd Mayweather, he lost his confidence. CANelo will never be the same. He's another Mayweather casualty.

    Get off your knees ****boy. He demolished one guy and chased a coward around the ring since mayweather took his "confidence." You're either actually ******ed or gay. No rational, straight man, could come to the conclusion you did.

    Then barely eeked out a victory against Lara

    Floyd schooled that scrub. Canelo was "born loser". FACT!

    Canelo is not naturally talented. He doesn't have a boxing brain. He can't think outside the box. Repetition is his teacher and that's a hard task master. It will make you pay a heavy price. His only salvation is that he's been put in with average hitters that box and one somewhat heavy hitter who couldn't box. I'll tell you who got talent, Jermell Charlo. He is also 24 with half the fights of Canelo but you can see the talent in him and if he had fought as many fights as Canelo, no one would be saying that he's young and has a lot to learn because he would be a well rounded superstar.
