Anyone thinks that Canelo weight swing from 168 to 175 to 168 lbs might affect his performance? There are fighters who jumps from one weight to another have been affected negatively.
So what about Canelo here? will he still be the same and dominant at super middleweight because this is his favorite and perfect weight class for him. No?

But it's not a massive jump in weight and he has a lot of days to go back naturally to SMW division. It's not like the case of Roy Jones who went as high as Heavyweight and then his weight swinging around 168-175 lbs. And that was the beginning of the downfall of Roy Jones. For Canelo, it's negligible, he is still in his prime and could be walking around that weight without draining himself or changing his diet.
Ok, it's just one factor that play in my head when I read that somewhere that a boxer performance could be affected when he jump in weight like Canelo did when he fought Bivol and then go down to 168 lbs.
Nevertheless, it's just a couple of pounds and nothing to shabby with it. Maybe if he jumps as high as what him and his team are thinking with the Cruiserweight, then just maybe it might have a drastic effect on his health. And one thing that will go with him is the advancement of sports medicine and for sure he had someone in his team watching his weight.
