Canelo is probably at a 6.
ABs power is never a 2. He put porter on his arse in the 12th showing he has a dig and it carries through the fight.

Golovkin punchers harder than Lemieux imo also
AB did that, but Porter got right back up and wasn't even hurt. Should I say Maligaggi should be at a 5 because he hurt Baby Bull? No.

Also, Golovkin doesn't hit anywhere near as hard as Lemieux. His power is more precise, but Lemieux has more than legit one-punch KO power. Watch the Stevens fight as the perfect example. Lemieux is in the same tier as Kudryashov and Beterbiev. They have that upper-tier, monstrous power.

It's only at the higher weights AB has dropped his KO rate but he's no malignaggi. I'm not saying AB is Thomas Hearns but he's hardly 2/10 power.

Disagree re Lemieux point you make
