Imagine being on sherdog since 2013 and still not realizing that styles matter.
Conor lost to fucking Nate Diaz... A Slow pillow fist fighter, who rarely checks leg kicks and rarely throws kicks....Nate literally walked down Conor and rocked him....The ground game was really a non-factor.
Conor style is mostly boxing with some kicks......I really doubt his takedowns are as good as a real wrestler.
Canelo is better than Nate Diaz in every way, standing up....He just needs to adjust to dodging/blocking kicks and get TDD(won't need amazing TDD because Conor isn't a wrestler).....So yeah Canelo would fuck up Conor.
Look if Canelo was facing a wrestler...I agree he is fucked....but he is facing fucking Conor...A Poorman's boxer in MMA, who loves fighting standing....Conor will get KO'd.
