Does Canelo have the power to hurt GGG? I haven't seen him hurt anyone that didn't have a glass jaw or was much smaller. Every B+/A level world class fighter he's fought had no problem with his power. He did knock Trout down which is good but Lara didn't have an issue, Floyd, no issue, Cotto, no issue and Chavez who's bigger and has a good chin like GGG had no issue.
I can see him hurting GGG to the body if anything but if he doesn't get to him that way, GGG is gonna walk this kid down and beat him up. He just doesn't have the footwork to escape the onslaught IMO.
Gonna be an exciting fight, can't wait.
He won't land much on ggg. GGG when he faces punchers is very defensively responsible. Stevens, lemieux, and jacobs all barely landed any clean shots on him. Same thing will happen here.
People talk about Canelo going to the body and hurting GGG. Don't forget GGG has devastating body punches that will definitely destroy Canelo if he lands. The only fighters he had trouble landing to body are those that have good footwork and move. Canelo will be stationary.
All the guys that you mentioned Canelo could not knock out were mostly defensive fighters. Canelo had to play the hunter against them, and that's not his Forte. Golovkin will play into Canelos strengths.
We've seen different styles from GGG. People act like all he knows is how to go forward. If he feels he needs to keep his distance that's what he'll do.

Cotto was in front of him all night and he hit him with everything and couldn't hurt him. Floyd walked him down also and picked him apart. Chavez was a punching bag and stood in there for 12. His power is overrated. He's knocked out Khan, Smith, and Kirkland lately. 2 glass jaws and a nobody... Before that he fought smaller guys or washed up guys like Mosely and still didn't get him out...

It's difficult to say who has the better skills. They both have skills that the other doesn't possess. Canelo has great combos and hand speed, GGG has great footwork and can control the distance beautifully. It pretty much comes down to who you're rooting for.
I don't want to sound like a snobby d*ckhead but skills are way more important than physical traits.now who has the better skills in y'alls opinion?
Better skills don't always win fights.
Look at Vernon Forrest vs Mayorga. The cave man whooped that ass
And GGG has the jab, the footwork, the power, and the chin
Canelo has the speed, the defense, and the judges lol

Golovkin...by far.
Canelo has decent skills, don't get me wrong but hes feet are in cement.
I can't wait to see what their gameplan would be? he can't outbox golovkin so is he going to slug it out with him? he'll get stopped.
If i was Canelo i would target Ggg's body exclusively for the first 4-5 rounds and then hope he gasses out and take over late on.
can't wait for this. this fight cant come soon enough :boxing::headbang:

In my opinion it's Golovkin and he has the power to go with it.
