Canelo vs GGG = Pac vs Marquez?

More so the Canelo/GGG fights are similar to Pac/JMM in terms of them always being competitive no matter how many times they face off. True, every fighter has one who is a rival and their styles mesh. To me This is a prime example.

GGG did better than Marquez. Marquez got his ass knocked down in every one of those close fights. Marquez was not knocked down in the 3rd one

I think This fight was more technical than some of the Pac-Narquez fights. However great fights. I feel Pac won first two . Third one was close. Fourth one Pac was winning but got caught with perfect punch. I think the little boy who cried wolf applies here. Marquez whined so much people actually started believing everything he said. He is a notorious por sport and a cheat by the way . We all know this even though he wasnt tested.

I think the only valid comparison is that the less popular guy won the fights but got robbed. I'd say GGG won the fights clearer than Marquez won fight II but not as clear as he won fight III. As far as action it's not as good. Less adjustments made, less skill, less talent etc; These two guys are very good fighters whereas Marquez and Pacquaio were all-time great fighters. I think fight II, IV, I of that series was better than Saturday's fight comfortably and fight III was better than GGG-Canelo I which was a dud IMO.

GGG should have taken notes from Marquez. Marquez handled his business in the fourth fight knowing that if it was a close fight and went to the scorecards he could get shafted. Difference is canelo dosen't lunge in with his hands down and head up in the air like manny does.

The rivalry could be as big, if it isn’t yet. But stylewise nah, Pac’s style was always taylor made for Marquez, but because of his physical gifts, awkwardness, 2nd-3rd gears and other intangibles he was able to make them close wars. And even happened to win a couple to the judges eyes. That says a lot. GGG meanwhile ain’t taylor made for canelo. Last sat was not as exciting as I II IV of pac-marquez. But definitely better than the III. GGG ain’t tailor made for canelo.

GGG should have taken notes from Marquez. Marquez handled his business in the fourth fight knowing that if it was a close fight and went to the scorecards he could get shafted. Agreed! Seeing how the first fight went, i'm not sure why GGG didnt go for broke, especially in the later rounds. GGG should have just said "fuck it" and start throwing. He knows he's not gonna win a decision so might as well swing for the fences.

Marquez got robbed. 97G proved he can not beat Canelo decisively. That's the difference.

I don't think so. Canelo won this one more decisively than the first. This fight reminded me more of Leonard's first fight against Duran. Leonard was America's posterboy too, but surprised a lot of people by standing in front of Duran, but Duran relished it, punished Leonard and left no doubt in the judges minds .

GGG did better than Marquez. Marquez got his ass knocked down in every one of those close fights. Agreed that Marquez got knocked down in all 4 fights but im talking about the politics. To me, GGG is in the same boat as Marquez when he's fighting against Canelo.

Not as Marquez actually got robbed in 2 if the bouts. Ggg has no claim to anything as he got outboxed in the 1st and slapped around and lit up in the 2nd.
