    Haven't seen much of Conn but was he agile to the degree of Lara/Mayweather? Mayweather is possibly the greatest defensive fighter ever, having trouble against his movement is hadly indicative of anything.

    As for Lara, not an ATG, but he ran like hell that fight, and was pretty talented himself. And Conn is bigger. It's possible that he won't look so agile against a smaller flat-footed guy like Canelo than against a bigger, flat-footed Louis.

    Conn would box Canelo’ s ears off.

    A mismatch for mine.

    Cheers All.

    Well, that’s it.
    I doubt that Conn would have had to deal with head movement in his career.
