    Respect for prime GGG

    Looking at how canelo has beaten mostly everyone in oblivion n then only fight where goes toe to toe aka vs GGG its either a loss or controversial so being such n looking how canelo has loved for last few yrs vs everyone do we underestimate how good prime ggg was or do we overestimate how good Canelo is. Or is it mixture of both .

    GGG wasn't prime when he fought Canelo.

    Golovkin is/was legit, it's just a shame that nobody wanted to fight him and missed out on some big fights.

      Canelo wasn't prime when he fought Golovkin. He's improved since then.

        Golovkin was already past his prime by the first Canelo fight. Why do you think Canelo dropped the WBC belt to go fight Chavez?

          Neither one was in their prime when they fought. They have to big of an age gap.

          If they fight In Sept. then I'll consider Canelo in his prime but then we all know he hurts GGG.

            Ggg was deteriorating before the first fight with canelo prime wise...they're both great fighters but the second fight canelo was excelling and ggg showed obvious decline however I still think the second fight could have gone either way and I'd be happier with a draw

            That ggg fights only made canelo more confident in himself and I believe he learned a lot about himself since then he's willing to face absolutely anyone(before everyone wanted him in the ring with ggg and a lot blamed nelo for it not happening)

            That fights with the killer ggg has made canelo confident in his abilities and who could possibly be scarier than ggg in the future while he's active absolutely nobody

              Exactly! They are to far apart in age. Not hard to figure out...

                Canelo has improved since they fought but Golovkin was also past his peak by the time they fought.

                  GGG was past his prime in both fights.

                    Canelo handled ggg in both fights. Outboxed ggg in the first one and beat him up in the 2nd one. ggg is not on his level either, so don't kid yourselves.
