    Slow plodder Canelo went life and death with a distant relative of Cotto, I don't see his midget arms connecting with even Khan let alone surviving a Pacquaio.
    We already seen how easy Thurman dispatched of Guerero so imagine Canelo against him lol

    Khan is the future. Canelo would be all dazed and confused with khans speed

    He wouldnt get many digs in as khan too fast for him, khan would school him 12-0.

    That fight was hardly "life and death." Canelo got shook pretty bad, sure, but he was 19.

    Canelo is a fine combination puncher.

    Give Canelo this much credit, his combinations are as creative as anybody in the sport if not as powerful. He's also still only 24. And he's one of those guys that can flip a narrative like no other.

    You never know what kind of gameplan he'll employ (sometimes for the worse i.e. Mayweather). But he's no boilerplate slugger.

    Remove that "and under', and i'd agree. he needs to stick to that small window at about 155. He's too small for 160, and looks drained at about 154...

    I would say true. He fought Trout and Lara already which were the two worst possible match ups for him. he has good power and has good skill. Even when he finds himself in a close fight such as people say Lara was he is the star of the division so he wont lose.

    Lara outclassed Canelo bad

    False because Pac would also beat him

    other than that, he probably beats anyone
