Has Canelo progressed enough to defeat Golovkin in convincing fashion next time?

Canelo clearly won the Jacobs fight. In no stretch of the imagination was that a gift. This website is filled with a bunch of clowns with agendas. It doesn't represent most boxing fans. Jacobs had two shots and he just didn't do enough. I thought both fights were close, though Golovkin fight was closer but in the end the right guys won. Completely agree with you, I think Canelo deserved the nod, but I just don't think fans will ever stop with the "robbery" claim.

I think either way, there will be people saying that either guy won or lost, just like the Jacobs fight, I thought Canelo won that pretty easy with a 7-5 or 8-4 scorecard, but people are still saying that Jacobs got robbed, including Jacobs himself saying he thought he did enough to win. The sport is getting to be that if you don't KO him, you were handed a gift if it was close. Canelo clearly won the Jacobs fight. In no stretch of the imagination was that a gift.

I love Golovkin, but I also believe Canelo stock has gone way up since their last meeting...grown quite a bit in the ring. His defense has been superb. Has been landing good combinations. And if he can capitalize with his uppercuts, who knows what might happen. Golovkin has been inactive ever since their last bout, and the quality of his upcoming opponent is questionable if he's planning on taking Canelo after that, he's not getting younger either. Can he learn new things with Banks? Can he come up with a more effective strategy against Canelo? Can he capitalize with his effective jab instead of looking to land a big right hand? Sure why not...but, will it make a difference with an improved version of the guy who took the close decision last time? What do you guys think? :beerchug: Yes I could see Canelo beating Golovkin convincingly (for once). I could see him winning 8 rounds. That said all he has to do is legit win 6 maybe even 5 and he'd get the decision. Canelo is a better fighter now than he was two years ago. Golovkin is likely not and a solid argument can be made he was off prime for the first fight. I would favor Canelo strongly in a third fight. If I'm Canelo I think this sets up perfectly for him. But he also can make Golovkin wait more time as it appears Golovkin is now in just cash out mode. So maybe he'll be willing to wait until 2020 if that is what Canelo wants. Golovkin's only chance IMO at this point, and it is slim, is to take the approach that it is a 10 round fight and go balls to walls from no later than round three. Either come home victorious or come home on your shield. I'm not sure he has that mentality.

I’m losing interest very quickly on this forum now..getting to the stage where I can’t even be bothered to reply...I’ll hang on till Joshua KO’s wilder and fury and I’ll hang on to see Lomachenko do a number on tank Davis....that’s my end game fella Good luck with that....LMFAO

So you’re apart of the 8% of boxing who thinks he won? That should tell you something. You know that Pete drew to Chavez too right? Yes 8% of the 97k fans that Punk G has, now THAT should tell YOU something.

The school system is horrible these days and they were brought up in a liberal environment and don't remember the internet not being around. When you get these people in person, they are ENTIRELY different people. I've told this story before, but when I first joined the forum I couldn't understand what was going on. I knew what trolling was, but the culture on this forum is the worst I've ever seen. A guy was adamant that McGregor was going to beat Floyd and was going on and on and on. I finally was able to kind of expose him or back him into some kind of a corner and he PM'd me saying, "Dude I'm not being serious why are you doing that?" He got very angry. I literally didn't know what just happened.

These trolls have gotten out of hand man. It's absolutely insane what's going on in this forum.

I thought he won the second fight, but it was still close. I think he will win a 3rd fight in a much more convincing manner, he has now got totally comfortable at the weight and looks as strong as a bull.

Golovkin won the 1st fight and could easily have won the 2nd so this illusion that canelo somehow dominated the return fight is ridiculous....canelo just won a razor thin decision and again looked beatable so if the trilogy happens again golovin and canelo will be controversial and razor thin either way These trolls have gotten out of hand man. It's absolutely insane what's going on in this forum.

I don't think so. He boxed well but he gassed badly in the last half of the fight throwing only 450 punches or less than 40 punches a round. A well trained GGG can exploit this flaw by setting a fast pace from the start and throwing nearly 70 punches a round Canelo needs to give him the rematch next before he gets any older. Canelo has not defeated him yet on my scorecard and he might lose to him in a third fight. That's why they have fights. To see who wins. Winning a razor close split decision in Canelo loving Vegas doesn't mean Canelo couldn't lose the third fight. I agree mate and the 3rd fight could easily be controversial again....I don’t think canelo looked all that special against Jacobs and again he faded quite a bit...people forget that canelo did lose the 1st fight and in my eyes he lost the 2nd as well. Canelo is ageing as well with his style of fighting

Why is it no one asks why GGG can't beat Canelo convincingly instead of why Canelo can't beat GGG convincingly.

Come on get it right, Nelo outboxed him in the 1st fight then beat the "Mexican Style" out of him in the 2nd fight. You must have been lit when you watched the fights.

Canelo backed up and got beaten in the first fight, but they called it a draw. He moved forward in the second fight and landed more than in the first fight, but it was still close. Canelo got the decision, but that fight looked more like a draw than the first one. A third fight should not take place in Vegas, it should be held in Barclays. Maybe there, an objective, fair decision can be made. Come on get it right, Nelo outboxed him in the 1st fight then beat the "Mexican Style" out of him in the 2nd fight.

See man, it's this **** that just ruins the forum. Stop ****ing posting here you ****ing clown. He's right & you know it.

You don't know sh.it about psychology , so, shut up How old are you? A: 15-19 B: 20-24 C: 25-29 D: 30-34 E: 35 or older Be honest.

Gennadiy Gennadyevich Golovkin will NEVER beat "Canelo". (Gennady had a better chance)

canelo will and has never beat a top contender convincingly but he wins... it will always be close but hes gotten better and gggee looked pretty old in last fight
