I hear all these posters saying Canelo won't take the rematch... are you serious (golovkin voice). He will be stupid not to, you guys are crazy this is the best time to activate it, GGG is on a physical decline, he will act on a rematch for May though, and he will likely win, 35-year-old pressure fighter is an almost impossible task at the highest level, a 36-year-old pressure fighter is even more so. Expect a Canelo vs. GGG in May 2018 and expect Canelo to do better, or more likely GGG to do worse.
I'm not interested in the rematch unless it happens in a neutral venue / arena. So in Britain, Germany, France, Australia and etc. I ain't watching another bout in Las Vegas again.
If anything, GGG is the champ so Canelo Alvarez should come and fight GGG in his backyard as the challenger. Yet, I'm still not even demanding that the fight happen in GGG's backyward (which is still more appropriate than the bout happening in Canelo's back yard) but in a neutral arena / venue.
Agree OP. A lot of boxing fans are f#cking retarded & super simplistic + just black & white with everything.
Only thing I might disagree with you on is it happening in May. I feel like they might decide to stretch it out to September, with them co-headlining a card in May to marinate the rematch a lil more.
If they do that that could be a problem if they try to go higher than BJS & Cotto in opponents doe cuz I think there are a few guys on the come up who could give GGG or Canelo a tough fight or upset them like Charlo, Jacobs & maybe Derevyanchenko. But I tend to think BJS & Cotto or lesser guys will be chosen.
I don't think they'll wait, GGG in September will be further gone but I feel like in May he will not be much better off and I think they know it has to be done sooner than later. pushing it further just takes away from an Alvarez win if he manages to pull one off.
like I said each of GGG's last 3 fights his fans have made excuses for his performance. Started with Brook oh he's sick, he's just letting Brook punch him on purpose. lol He will great the next fight don't worry. Then Jacobs oh he could of KO'd but he didn't want to he just wanted to seem vulnerable to land the Canelo fight that's why it went the distance. lol He will be back to the killer against Canelo don't worry. Didn't look good or KO Canelo. 3 weak performances in a row where he was hit a lot cleanly in all 3 fights. But you think he's going to be better and KO Canelo in a rematch? HAHAHA
He will look worse the next fight and Canelo will look better and beat him more convincingly. I agree with Robert Garcia GGG might get KO'd like Kovalev in the rematch. He eats too many clean flush shots and I don't care how great your beard is at some point that will catch up to you and your chin will crack.
i dont see a problem with ropes ,GGG wasnt able to do much when Nelo was on the ropes.
No, he didn't but he was scoring while Canelo was on the ropes. You can't hit what you can't catch. Canelo was tired and GGGs jab got him to the ropes. Canelo needs to work on stamina and staying closer to his fighting weight so he doesn't run out of steam.
Canelo definitely wants a rematch. I just don't know what he can do differently to win. He's the same fighter in every fight, he actually did more footwork and lateral movement in this fight but it didn't really make a difference. GGG and Abel Sanchez will need to study the fight and work on cutting off the ring and getting to that body.
The way to beat GGG will be to beat him to the jab, and be the better counter-puncher. You have to back him up, because he doesn't fight well moving backwards...but that is easier said than done. I don't see Canelo beating him to the jab, but he can work on his counter-punching. He'll also need to keep his ass off the ropes. So I expect even more lateral movement in the rematch. Just like prior to the first fight, I see the rematch as a 50/50 fight. All depends on who makes the better adjustments.

Canelo has the tools to beat GGG but the problem is he doesnt throw enough punches. If he didn't go full gun shy like Broner he beat the f*ck out of GGG. But GGG will win rematch b/c Canelo won't throw more punches. This will prob be one of the rare cases where the boxer loses the rematch.
These are the same idiots who said Ward wouldn't take the Kova rematch. Remember when he mentioned retirement? They took that and ran with it, just like they took anything Canelo said this weekend as a sign that the rematch isn't happening.
Some folks never learn but it's the same folks. The rematch will happen next year.
First it was Canelo will NEVER fight GGG
Then GGG will KO Canelo easily
Then oK he went 12 but draw is a robbery
Now Canelo won't have a rematch?
Just like idiots saying Ward wouldn't rematch Kovalev. Too much money for both guys a rematch will absolutely happen and Canelo will beat this boy even more convincingly the second time. That's why you hear the GGG fans now screaming they don't want see a rematch. GGG never came close to hurting Canelo and missed all night long badly. They keep making excuses he looked bad against Brook (oh he just didn't fear brook so he LET HIM PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE lol). Then he looked bad against Jacobs (oh he just didn't want to kill Jacobs so he went 12 rounds on purpose to let Canelo think he slipped and would agree to fight him. Watch he will be back to the animal killer against Canelo). GGG literally get's worse every time out his last 3 fights. But you think he's going to be better not worse in the rematch? LMAO
Golovkin did great things in the Jacobs and Canelo fights. You can't hold him to a standard of destroying everyone at this age and against this opposition. He looked good on Saturday and will look good again in the rematch. Lets see who makes the needed adjustments.

Canelo will definitely take the rematch.
I just hope they put it in a big stadium so real fans can actually attend and will take the stink away from having it in Vegas.
