    Not so sure. We'll find out soon in his fight against Kovalev.

    Rocky Fielding was standing in front of Canelo with his hands up.

    Fielding isn't exactly made of granite.

    Hes not a power puncher anyway.
    The bigger worry is will the extra weigh drain his already average gas tank.

    In that sense hes lucky kov isn't an overly physical fighter

    Rocky Fielding, that was already stopped in a single round by actual WBA champ Smith.
    Not really a measuring stick.

    Only a few years ago I didn't think he would carry power well up to 160. But it definitely diminishes from here.

    I don't think so. He has good power at 160 but he'll only be average to below average at 175. Does anybody believe he hits as hard as Yarde? Or Stevenson or Beterbiev? :lol: Kovalev needs to worry about getting timed more than Canelo's power.

    I disagree with guys saying his stamina will suffer. His stamina got a big boost at 160 and he might do even better at 175. Dehydration is really bad for stamina.

    Rocky Fielding is an epitome of glass jaw and glass body. Zero skills also. Fielding was just tall pucnhing bag

    Canelo never ever stopped his best opponents in career.

    40 y.o. former lightweight Mosley
    Trout
    Floyd
    Lara
    Former 140 lbs Cotto
    GGG twice
    Jackobs

    All went 12 against Canelo, despite some of them having suspect chins.

    On the other hand, Canelo's power looks impressive against glass-jawed opponents like
    Amir Khan
    James Kirkland
    Rocky Fielding

    If Canelo stops Kovalev I'd be impressed, though Kovalev'c chin is far from sturdy.
