    I’m a big GGG fan but his style isn’t anything like Bivol. I said on here before the fight that Bivol’s ability to move in, out and back in again with his feet while throwing was going to give Canelo fits because of the work rate.

    GGG isn’t that kind of fighter, never was really. Even if he could’ve adapted and implemented similar tactics in his younger years, he couldn’t now at 40. You need the feet to do it.

    One thing I’ll say is even at 40, GGG has better natural stamina than Canelo. He can continue to let his hands go without taking breaks in rounds like Canelo. So in
    my opinion is he can certainly look at that aspect of it. Rather than sit back behind a jab, he can set pace early in the fight that Canelo doesn’t like. Apart from physically tired, Canelo was already becoming mentally exhausted after 3 or 4 rounds against Bivol because he couldn’t handle that work rate and pace from an excellent fighter. If GGG can do that in his own way/style, then he can have some success. He did overwhelm Canelo in the first fight with volume but got robbed and that was 5 years ago.

    Always a big ask at 40. I think the extra 8lbs will help GGG though.

          Bivol fight was a cherrypick gone wrong!

          But remember: "then we dismantle Beterbiev and then we go up there and f up Usyk"

          Go f yourselves!

            He doesn’t have fast enough hands either. Bivol can throw quick crisp combos. GGG cannot

                Hey:

                I am going with what you guys said.
                Canelo is a B+ fighter in my book but what do I know, I have just been watching all there greats since I was a kid in the 70's.

                    Don't like to call it cherrypicking, but it was underestimating.
