Y'know, I just watched that entire fight, & I know hindsight is 20/20 but I think that fight started him down the path that led to the injuries he suffered in the Benn fight. Mclellan took some monster shots & was visibly rocked on several occasions, & in the 4th he started blinking & his body language got weird at times.
canelo has literally never look drained at 160. never really even at 154. the floyd fight at 152 is arguable but he looked more lost than drained.
as far as i’m concerned, if a guy makes weight consistently and it has no adverse effect on his performance, he belongs in that class. he happens to be a guy who puts on big weight before the fight the next day and that’s okay.
