Would Canelo have beaten Brown more impressively than Norris did in that rematch at 154?

    I feel Canelo would have landing far more punches on Brown than Norris did in that boring rematch, I feel he would have completely outclassed Brown, am I a little of?

    Yes you are ...Simon Brown was very skilled boxer puncher who had problems with guys who moved on him . The same way Canelo struggled with Erislandy Lara . To stay in front of Simon Brown is asking for Trouble . Styles makes fights

    Brown didn`t punch as hard as GGG and Canelo proved he was great at slipping and blocking shots on the inside in that fight, if he didn`t take a step back against a really strong middle with a great jab like GGG he`s not going to lose toe tot toe with a blown up welter who was stopped at light middle, Canelo has a much better chin than Brown had.
