Canelo would never survive this onslaught, and he knows it:

[King_]

Revisiting this round 8 between Golovkin-Stevens. That was simply a master class of a round from Golovkin. He thoroughly and systematically beat Stevens ass from the beginning of that round to the very end, beginning with a thunderous body shot. The way he worked the body in that round was beautiful to watch.
56 out of 101 power shots

Stevens surviving that to the end of the bell was amazing as well.

Start at 46:00 seconds

So, you are saying that, if Canelo stands still and allows Golovkin to tee off on him, Canelo will not survive. What a profound observation. I believe Pacquaio said the same thing about Floyd Mayweather!

What, is Canelo going to develop some Floyd like magical boxing ability over night? He's a very ordinary, average fighter. He has nothing to keep Golovkin off him. He does not the power to keep Golovkin from doing what he wants, and he doesn't have the speed and ability to outbox Golovkin for 12 rounds without suffering that same type of sustained punishment until he's done.

Canelo would be in survival mode the moment Golovkin starts to land some combos, and Golovkin is going to be able to pick his spots however he likes, and construct and beautiful and brutal beat down.

Stevens barely tried to slip anything that Golovkin through, let alone punch with Golovkin (which he ate dead on the face on the occasional times that Stevenson did punch).

Alvarez isn't going to just shell up and get beat on.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Golovkin just shrugs off those left hooks to the face at 46:27 and 47:37.

Definitely proves he has a chin, but we all already knew that didn't we?

hahaha.... Canelo = Floyd hahaha

[lolpz]

Does anyone notice how slow he is? He'sdamn near punching in slow motion lmao, if you don't think canelo will be competitive off of his speed and boxing ability/skills alone you're delusional.

It will be a good fight don't get me wrong, but golovkin wouldn't be able to do that to canelo, quote me on it.

[-Antonio-]

It's Stevens though...

He just does not have the skill to keep up with Golovkin. Canelo would do the same thing to Stevens if not worse. Every time Stevens would throw one or two punches he would stay still with his hands up. He showed no head movement, not ability to counter. It's a different beast.
