Flash forward to the media day in the Staples Center at the end of August and fans saw a much more bulky Canelo showing off his boxing skills inside the ring.
Bearing in mind that Canelo moved up a weight class to fight Chavez Jr, it appears as though he was still transitioning to the 160 lb limit at that time. At the end of August, it was clear that he was fully committing to the heavier division.
During the week of the big fight against GGG, he shared a series of photos on Instagram which confirmed (as if more confirmation was needed) that he was now built like an even bigger brick shithouse than has been in the past.
Flattering lighting aside, the man is still outrageously ripped.

It's difficult not to notice Canelo's very obvious physical transition and unsurprisingly, it's caught Golovkin's attention too, as he told FightHub TV.
Golovkin isn't paying much heed to the increased muscle mass of his opponent, although he feels there is a chance that being more shredded may hinder his chances in the fight."It’s interest. Maybe he bring more power, maybe bring more stability, you know? This is boxing, boxing is just 160. I know he stay Friday 160 and I stay Friday 160. That’s it!"
Sunday morning, folks. This one's not to be missed.“...I know my job, I know Canelo — maybe he’s heavy, maybe he’s slower right now. Just I know my job. Thanks my coach Abel Sanchez, he just stay with me every time. I know my job, I know my work.”
