Garcia Backs Canelo Over Golovkin, Says Styles Make Fights

Doesn't even matter now that Canelo/GBP proved they don't want that work. GGG: "I want my belt. Give me my belt." Canelo: "Si, si." Canelo: you guys wanted the belt..... well, here you go..... ..... so, now that we got that out of the way..... let's fight, at 155. Golovkin: * crickets * Loeffler: " maybe 2017 " LMAO :lol1:

GGG doesn't possess Mayweather's speed, accuracy, timing, OR intelligence..... so that is a huge call. Canelo has fought plenty of guys who had a jab. Same with Ward in regards to Kovalev.

While GGGs last opponent/manditory wasn't what anyone would call top tier competition, I'm not sure I'm convinced his last seven or eight prior fights were to lose level tomato cans/bums. Wasn't Rubio supposed to be his toughest challenge goi g into that fight. Same can be said about a few of the others. If this is the case why havent any of the upper level MW fighters at that time signing to fight GGG? Jacobs. Quillin, etc.? At the same time, I'm not sure Alvarez has really fought the best when they were at their best. More like passed their primers like Cotto, Mosley, etc. so there deffinatelly is some grey area there to be addressed. Now Canelo is no slouch, it wasn't very long ago when he lost to FMJ. Aster a few rounds of eating Mayweather jabs, he quit hitting back with counters. This went most of the rounds until the last two rounds when he had no choise but to bull rush Mayweather and again took head snapping jabs unto the final bell. What didnwe learn from this you ask? Canelo hates to be jabbed/punched in the face and every time he moved inside with a jab or right cross, ole floydie was there snapping counter punches to alvarezs already red face. He essentially quite midway through the fight. While GGG doesn't posses FMs speed, that piston jab and quick hard counters to the body and head will prove way to much for the young Mexican.

I don't understand people who think GGG is just a come-forward slugger.

Valid points indeed. Problem with that assessment is that Canelo is miles above Lemieux in his defensive instincts. Lets be honest..Lemieux for as much as i like his style has never been able to defens a jab. Ever. Even Tapia hit him with every jab. Canelo has been knocking guys down/out by waiting on the lead hand. Now I'm not sure Canelo can handle the punches but it stands to reason that he's going to give a good account of himself. He's the fastest, best defensive, best offensive , best moving and most accomplished fighter GGG has ever stood infront of. Does GGG stop him? Probably...but he'll know he's in a fight when he jumps in with a jab and Canelo times him with a right hand. If we're REALLY honest, we should worry more about what GGG is going to do about the counter punches coming from a guy who won't run and is sharper. The only reason we all think GGG is winning this fight is that none of us think Canelo can withstand a sustained attack over 12 by GGG....but can GGG even put em together often enough and withstand the counter attacks? We're all banking on Canelo withering but what happens if he's doing more of the hitting and avoiding of punches? We're assuming Canelo is going to have no answers like Wade..but he's no Wade. Canelo's skillset is actually really worrying as a GGG fan because there's a very real possibility that GGG has been fighting such a low level of competition that he could look silly when he steps up. People forget... GGG is the one stepping up in competition, not Canelo. We've seen it time and time again in the history of boxing where a killer has no answer vs another killer. GGG has spent years preparing for the Wade's of the world and Canelo is a live spoiler. It wouldn't surprise me to see an Angulo/Kirkland type of performance from Canelo where GGG looks overmatched because he can't get more than a punch at a time off before counters. The ginger has the tools..and if he punched as hard as GGG this would be a horrible mismatch in gingers favor. Don't count him out just yet. Canelo isn't the shelling up in the face of offense type. With that being said... Nobody at MW should be able to take GGG's punches and I think Canelo will be no exception. I think GGG should win but the more I see GGG huffing and puffing after three rounds I'm becoming more intrigued. The question is really more about if Canelo can mitigate enough damage to stay strong and work GGG. If he can we have a toss up. Can GGG land on Canelo consistently like he does against these other guys? Time will tell. I got GGG but I'll put a few bucks on Canelo just incase.
