Zepeda definitely has power, but if you know that style and used to the punch placements, his power won't surprise you/hurt you like that. You kinda prepare for the incoming. If one catches you, its just a hard shot and you go back to work.


the Russian cat Morrell fought has the type of power that would bother a guy like Shakur, because he's unconventional with it and sets up his shots better. He can literally lull you and catch you or just be explosive, or just counter violently. Its hard to remember punch sequences and placements for a guy like that. That's why Shakur was so scary against that Dela Santos, I think thats what his name was.

Zepeda would have to have GGG type power for his style to be effective against a guy like Shakur. Meaning your opponents know all the shots that are incoming, but they still fukking hurt cuz you just punch so fukking hard. Zepeda power is like an 8 outta 1-10 to me. nikkas like Tito, GGG, Hagler, are like 10's just to put it into the proper context.

Canelo was a true top P4P fighter in his prime but it's clear he not that no more. The resume of fighters he beat in the 2020s is :trash: and it agin like shyt by the day any time one of fight a next man.

Ain't stopped no one in a half decade. Went 12 wit Ryder who Munguia waxed right after. Went 12 wit Munguia who got sniped by a undersized frenchman right after. Now Berlanga who he couldn't stop and has no defense got fukkin executed lol.....

His best win in 2020s probably 40yo GGG in his retirement fight :picard: and Canelo lost most the championship rounds too :francis:

I dunno more I like at Canelo recent resume more I think Bud gon do it. It really only come down to size. Thats it. If Bud punches can't do nothin to him. If Bud size not MAJOR factor he gon style on em he far more skilled and better in every area

I know he had a long HOF career. He WAS a great fighter but 2025 Canelo ain't a GREAT fighter to me. He still real good but size the only thing that can save him against Bud.
yeah its quite clear the man isn't the same as he was.
David Benavedez and probably Hamzah would give him a good ol kicking.
