Also talks about GGG-Jacobs and facing Golovkin in the amateurs. Doesn't pick a winner for GGG-Jacobs but seems to favour Golovkin. Says that facing Golovkin several times in the amateurs with Team USA convinced him that he was the real deal.
Golovkin was good in amateurs, but the difference is that Golovkin is aging and his reflexes will be on decline soon and Canelo is probably yet to peak his prime
At this moment, I'd pick Golovkin to win, but I definitely won't be so sure after 1-2 years from now
That's literally what Canelo and/or his team are holding out for. The old waiting game lol
Thing is, GGG hits so hard and is just so much bigger and stronger than Canelo that age won't be too much of a factor. Canelo fights too much of a physical style andi t works ok at 154 but at full fledged middleweight where guys are going to be stronger and hit harder, it's not a good idea.
GGG can beat Canelo for a fair few years yet, until he is absolutely shot imo.
Cheers..
I didn't realize it was Murray's video Beer was talking about.. I was looking for Matthew Macklin's video where he explains Golovkin's technique..
I actually saw it on sky sports, not able to find the video now there..
Instead I found this video from the Legend himself(Paulie)

There was a video on YouTube where Murray broke down how GGG applies his pressure, it was a really good break down I wish I could find it.

True.. In Macklin's interview he shows how Golovkin closes the gap all of a sudden & applies pressure by constantly being in front of you.. I think guys who have faced him say that he has like thudding power but not the strongest puncher they have been with but its the precision of the punches & the accumulation that eventually wears them down..

Golovkin haters... IN RUINS. hahaha too much information here...
Kenny Porter:
"I know Golovkin is the real deal since I saw him in the amateurs. He beat a lot of our guys from the US team. He beat us easily, and he beat us bad..."
Ummmm....ok.
That's the thing. People think GGG is just this brutal power puncher. Well he is, but he's so much more that we forget about. He had a great amateur career and could box if he needs to. Call it a back up plan if you will, but he just hasn't had to because he blows everyone out of the water
If Canelo ever had the balls to really face him while he's not an old man, GGG can do it all. It's up to him to decide. He can bang with Canelo if Canelo truly wants to try that, and if Canelo tries to apply some boxing against GGG, GGG knows how to handle himself and could easily outbox Canelo or just cut off the ring and get closer to land his power punches.
I can't see Canelo beating GGG if any style matchup. Power vs power or boxing vs boxing.
Most of the guys who fight him don't say much about his power, what they talk about is his precision. Have seen interviews with Rosado, Macklin, and Lemieux where they've said that.

I think Ken made a good point about Golovkin's boxing skills, so much have been made about his power that they forget that he can box well too..

For me Canelo looks like a good counterpuncher and he has very fluid combinations. However he doesn't have an especially good jab and it would be difficult for him to find a rhythm with Golovkin constantly jabbing him in the face. If Golovkin is the one applying the pressure, does he have the gas tank to stay sharp for 12 rounds? Not sure about that either. He hasn't shown a great workrate to date.
Power is another concern for Canelo. Miguel Cotto was right in front of him for pretty much the whole fight, and he never looked too shook by Canelo's power despite the size difference. Golovkin is a good bit more hittable than Cotto but the point remains.
If Golovkin found himself in a situation here he was walking in straight up like Angulo then Canelo's fluidity and combinations would win him the fight. But I don't see Golovkin wading in, leading with wide hooks against Canelo. Not unless he feels there's nothing to worry about.
50/50 fight power wise but I think GGGeez pressure confuses n frustrates Jacobs and geggee winz
people sleep on canelos skill for some reason but I really don't know how that fight plays out 3xg is aging
