Don't get me wrong I still see GGG winning but it will be a hard fought battle. Canelo has a very good jab, the reach advantage, underrated defense, and a really solid chin.
It's not in GGG's interest to let this fight go to the scorecards, unless he knocks Canelo down a couple of times, because he could end up getting robbed.
As a big GGG fan I concede that Canelo is worthy of being in the P4P and GGG isn't. He doesn't have the level of opposition in his resume because Sergio, Quillen, and Cotto ducked him.
... But if Monroe Jr was able to go toe to toe heads first with GGG ...
If you call going "toe to toe" being dropped on the second round, get toyed around and then quit "No más" style then you need to watch more fights.
And if you think that GGG's style is always like that you need to watch more GGG fights.
That said, I hope this fight is done to clear everybody's doubts
Canelo would be GGG's biggest fight. He should be in the best shape of his career. I'll be more worried about him over training.
I'll be more worried about GGG being a shell of himself coming in dehydrated at 155. GGG needs to force him to fight at 160 or min 158.
155 is pure horse doodoo.
Canelo is the new #1 p4p king of boxing
Theirs a huge reason Canelos latest ppv event sold almost 1 million units and GGGs sold 97k-150k , it's because the boxing world views Canelo as the top talent that goes heads up against the best , and their hesitant to put their hard earned money on GGG , the propaganda machine who didn't give us the Ward , Lara and now Canelo. Team GGG is simply using the top fighters names to promote himself , when in reality he's not willing to make those big fights.
CANELO !!!
CANELO !!!
CANELO !!!
MEXICO !!!
MEXICO !!!
MEXICO !!!
To be honest, all Canelo has to do is avoid his Power and get it to the Cards and he WINS, yes that simple!
That is not taking anything away from GGG, he is a BEAST but unless he knocks Canelo out, it is going to be HARD to get wins over Canelo if it goes to the Cards.
Same outcome as when Marquez KTFO Pacman
I just hope all these guys talking about Canelo whooping GGG's ass, come here just to eat crow after the fight.
This fight needs to happen.
No one gave Marquez a chance, they all said PacMan would destroy Marquez , Marquez put PacMan to sleep in KO of the year then those same fans talking down on Marquez were no where to be found. When Golovkin walks down the "yellow brick road " and comes back with a heart and a pair of balls, & mans up to fight CANELO , Saul Alvarez will shine in this fight.
Canelo ktfo ggg in once again ko of the year!
Alvarez hasn't been tested yet, and people seem to forget that Mexican boxers have some of the biggest hearts in boxing. From Barrera, Morales, Marquez those guys went through wars-blood-sweat-and tears, we can be assured that when the demon comes out of Canelo, he will gain a whole new fan base. Canelo's character seems very conservative in the ring, meaning, I've never seen him angry, he can take a GGG punch either from the face or body, you guys will shocked. We can all act like Canelo is the same as GGG's resume opposition, but we know that's not the case. Seeing GGG fight all the time, that dude goes out to kill with aggression, and he seemed exhausted against Monroe Jr.... I'm telling yall, it will be a great fight! The kid will turn into a beast and risk it all.
True, we haven't seen the best of Canelo yet he's do for another ko of the year type performance. Canelo is the more well rounded boxer. I picture this one going down like the Kirkland fight . I expect GGG to come out guns blazing for the first couple of rounds , while Canelo weathers the storm and counters with bombs and opens up his offense. CANELO is too smart too fast too slick and too technical along with the reach advantage and hand speed advantage with power in both hands as well and he's gonna have the homefield advantage along with too much experience against elite fighters in the biggest stages in boxing , too much for the slow robotic no defense having Golovkin
Why would he? It'll be the biggest fight/challenge of his career thus far. Don't see why he would wait till now to underestimate and slack off.
With that said....ODH isn't going to let his meal ticket anywhere near GGG until sometime next year or so. He knows GGG can seriously derail his plans for Canelo.
GGG and Canelo are my two favorite fighters. It will be a great fight for most fans but not for me. I will be worried that either one of them takes a bad loss. They have been my favorites for many years. They are both serious dedicated pros and they will be in top condition. They have sparred many rounds with each other and they are friends. They both know how good the other one is. I think Canelo has the best chance of any boxer who fights at 160 pounds or less to beat GGG. I expect GGG to win because he is the best middleweight in the world. Canelo might be the first boxer in many years to go the full distance with GGG. He has a great chin as you said. He was staggered by Cotto's hard punching brother when he was a teenager. No boxer has ever staggered Canelo since then including Cotto, Mosley, Lara, Angulo and Kirkland. GGG will, of course be the hardest puncher Canelo has ever faced. Nobody has ever hurt GGG so far.
I concur with this post. They are 2 of my favourite fighters also and I don't want either man to lose.
I bet all my points that Canelo will get KO or TKO... btw i dont think he ever will fight at full 160 pounds, u know that extra advantages in 160 lbs are less and less... lol
Canelo is simply the better fighter
CANELO VS GGG
Canelo beats GGG by KO or by a wide margin on the scorecards! That's the only way I see this fight going. GGG is extremely overrated, he finds excuses to not get in the ring with elite fighters , and his resume is all mid level talent at best, he's all hype!
CA$HNELO BY
KIRKLAND TYPE KO!!!
Canelo vs ggg
CANELO wants the fight , 155 lbs GGG come on down , take your beating like a man! CA$HNELO DUCKS NO ONE! GGG "Mr. 154-168" , no Ward , no Lara , no CANELO?!?!?! GGG If your gonna call out the best at 154-168 lbs, quit hiding at 160 lbs !
Canelo vs. Golovkin
Canelo vs. Golovkin
Styles make fights
CANELO wins by KO or decision 8 rounds to 4 , point blank period! The Mayweather , Lara and Cotto fights were more difficult then the Golovkin fight will be.
The triple g hoax
GGG : "Let me clear things up Max, when I say , everyone from 154 lbs to 168 lbs , I meant all the winos, bums and homeless guys , I ko them for you in my Big Drama Show. Not elite fighters guys!" #RespectBoxing

GGG is 3 levels above Canelo. Canelo will be in for a shock. So will everyone that things the fight will be even close to competitive.

Is canelo finally fighting GGG? at 160? you sure?
Lara isn't running...he might have a death wish but he seems willing to fight GGG.
I doubt it.
I wish Lara was serious and they would actually try to make the fight but apparently its just twitter trashtalk by his promoter to keep Lara's name relevant.
Interview from 2 months ago with his trainer, he said, Lara has no rush to move up from 154 because there are alot of options at 154 for him.

The talk about Lara fighting GGG is from DeCubas, his promoter who uses Lara's twitter account.
Nobody from Team Lara ever contacted K2/Loeffler about making the fight.
One of many NSB myths.
