More skilled: Canelo or Tank

Canelo by far

 

Canelo

 

Canelo although I do think Tank's skills are underrated somewhat.

 

I disagree. He relies on his power too much. Has lost far too many rounds to be considered a top talent.

 

But...but...Tank's resume is elite!

 

I mean Canelo has lost plenty of rounds himself, @ 154 he was a low volume guy. Seemed to get stronger and more stamina as he went up.

 

apples and oranges

 

I think it’s more that he has faith in his power and knows that he will eventually get to use it, ok he didn’t knock pit bull out but that guy has a generational quality chin.
In any sport you use your strengths, he has power that is freakish for his weight and he uses it to his advantage and rightfully so.
The kid can box and he has more than just power.

 

But Canelo is the more talented
***But he has used performance enhancing substances

 

Because of resume I’ll go with Canelo. I know he had catchweights as well but Ryan did look a lot different than vs Haney

 

Canelo. He's the more complete fighter.

 

But he's lost rounds against highly skilled boxers/decorated amateurs which Santa Cruz, Pitbull, Garcia and Martin all are/were and still come through them all.

He's hardly the lightweight version of Wilder where he needs KO's to win whilst fighting mostly average guys. You don't take 8 undefeated guys 0's if you're not skilled in more ways than 1.

 

Tank.
