Canelo looked worse than he did vs Mayweather

[Queen_Leia]

Yes, one, and that's Floyd.

Fair enough.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Okay then, there's Floyd Mayweather, who elite. Whether he lost or not is irrelevant as long as he fought him.

Totally agreed.

Alvarez (like Joshua) has a BAD gas tank but he changed his style to where his opponent never exposed that. Bivol is the first fighter in 9 year to expose that because he made Alvarez fight at a pace where his gas tank let him down.

By the mid-to-late round, he was tired, going to the ropes and his punches lost steam & fatigue also affected his defense and Bivol really turned it up & started tagging him with a simple 1-2.

Brilliant game plan from Bivol...make Alvarez fight at a pace where he can't rest.

If Alvarez can fix his stamina, he'll beat Bivol in the rematch...not because he's the better fighter but he'll have enough energy to sustain throwing the eye catching punches, his defense will be a little tighter & he won't retreat the rope, thus swaying the corrupt judges.

Without fixing his stamina, Alvarez will always lose to Bivol.


Man you said this above lol. Emphasis on the bolded parts. GGG beat Canelo pretty much the same style that Bivol did - he outworked him. GGG's gas tank was what won him those fights mainly.

GGG - Canelo 1, GGG threw about 700 punches, that's about what BIvol threw vs Canelo.

Exactly...you've quoted me perfectly.

I'm a queen

We know!. Lost to Lara, lost to GGG, lost to Jacobs, lost to Bivol, lost to Mayweather.

Against Floyd he was dominated a bit more but I think he actually looked much better as a fighter. He actually tried to box much more, threw more punches, jabs, with overall more offensive variety. It shows in the punch stats also. I always laughed at the 'canelo has improved so much' crap, and its been proven to be total crap now. He has actually regressed as a fighter as he turned into a mediocre Tyson wanna be looking for the 1 big punch. lol.

- - Bivol knocks out l'l floydy and his crack daddy inside 2 rounds, but Canelo gonna rematch him.

Everyone is a C-level fighter...Jesus Christ, did Canelo fight any elite fighters beside Mayweather & Bivol?

This right here. Canelo lost but let’s not act like he hasn’t fought quality opposition.

If nel o did better against bivol then the 19 light heavyweight fighters bivol has fought thats a good result.
If nel o didn't look good please give bivol some credit for doing that to nelo, and don't just say nelos not improved? Nel o has fought many good fighters recently and boxing fans can tell if he's improved these last 8 years or not

[Queen_Leia]

We know!. Lost to Lara, lost to GGG, lost to Jacobs, lost to Bivol, lost to Mayweather.

Agreed but fought all of that quality opposition...and whether he won, lose or draws, that's all that matters.

Not in canelo's case, he's getting win credit for people he lost to. That's the entire debate!

Your an idiot. He improved after Mayweather cause he started using the same techniques as Mayweather. As far as him looking worse, we’ll, what can I say, fighting Mayweather at 23 and fighting Bivol at 32. Age has a way of slowing us all down. I also think his arrogance has improved while his abilities have withered.
