    Before his last 3 bouts he was on like a 20 straight stoppage streak

    All of a sudden he can't KO Jacobz, a guy who was dropped by Sergio Mora & flattened by Pirog

    Canelo, a 154 guy moving up GGG couldn't even Knockdown once...

    What happen to his krazy power?!!

    Old age and a step up in opponents, but don't forget he didn't really hurt Murray too badly until late, even if Murray is a hard nutter

    Lemiuex KO Stevens worse
    Cotto destroyed Geale more dominant
    Jantuah KTFO Rubio more dramatically
    Pirog KTFO Jacobs
    Mora hurt Jacobs worse
    Rubio KTFO Lemieux worse

    Myth maybe?

    What exactly happened to Canelo's power the last 3 fights?o_O

    I thought he was supposed to be some vicious one punch KO artist, you know, because he violently KO'd glass jawed Lightweight and a retired James Kirkland that was coming back down from Heavyweight? Doe! Ish! Why come! Brookz!

    Nah

    Canelo is a skillful boxer. He has many ways of beating his opponents.

    Yeah, so does GGG. Unfortunately most of the supposed "sweet science" experts that would be all over Mayweather's dick for doing what GGG did the other night, cinveniently never seem to notice it.

    What did GGG do the other night besides getting his face and body beat to a messy pulp, get out landed in power punches, got pushed back by the smaller fighter, and had his own trainer state that Canelo deserved to win.

    Oh that's right, he landed more jabs! Avg of 2.6 more per round.

    Never heard Canelo called KO artist

    GGG supposedly used to spark Heavyweights all.the time in sparring

    Nah he didn't box entirely, he was in a Mexican style fight, and alot of those jabs we're overwritten by body shots and counters. It was a close fight but Canelo was just the better man, his body of work was just better this time out. And what's funny is alot more people feel the same, than the first fight for sure.

    Sure you haven't. I guess you missed the 100's of threads where I was arguing with people who claimed that he was, in fact, I think one of them might have been you.

    Except for 150 journalists who judged it for GGG, but there's always the 11 that didn't, 2 of which just so happened to be on the official judging panel, what luck!:qmeparto:

    That's honestly shocking to me. I have to re-watch the fight.
