Comments Thread For: Hearn: Spence-Crawford is Fight Between Elite Champions, Canelo-GGG is Fight Between Legends

[Bronx2245]

I'd rather see Spence vs. Crawford, Charlo vs. Benavidez, and Tank vs. Garcia! Canelo vs. GGG III does not move me, like it would have if this was 2020!

GGG is no legend. His resume is complete garbage.

Canelo vs ggg will not be a great fight what are smoking? You must not watch either fighter cause if u did u would know ggg is going to get TKOd ref stoppage. He probably won’t get Sparked but the ref gonna stop this thing from the punishment he’s taken. If you don’t believe me go watch his last 3 fights. Ggg coming for a retirement pay check

You don't half talk a load of turd. Ok I'll entertain you on this one. Golovkin's last 3 fights; although he took a lot of shots he left Derevyenchenko looking like he got run over by a heavy goods vehicle at the end of the fight, Kamil Szeremeta got knocked down 4 times by GGG - by comparison Jaime Munguía couldn't knock him down at all and against Murata GGG took a few good shots in rounds 2 & 3 (while finding his rhythm) before being the first fighter to KO the Japanese Olympic gold medallist in all likelihood breaking his jaw in the process.

Now lets look at Canelo's last 3 fights... Ginger was getting boxed up by BJS - he lost rounds 5,6 &7, BJS was growing in confidence but made one error and lost the fight, it wasn't a sustained beating. Plant fought scared against Canelo but even so it was a close fight where Canelo was only a round or two up at the time of the KO, as usual it was another dull fight featuring Canelo (just like the Kovalev fight). Bivol played with Canelo - at times landing 5-6 punch combinations at his big steroid head before easily winning the fight 118-110...

GGG has never been even remotely close to being stopped, what makes you think its gonna be now when Canelo can't finish off the likes of Callum Smith? GGG is a master of distance and when he does get tagged he is always in position to fire back with with hard shots of his own. Do you remember when Canelo's jab hand went limp after taking a G right hand in round 10 of the rematch? Or when Canelo's lead foot buckled forward after he ate a solid right hook in round 11? Don't be surprised if you see your husband on the canvas at some point!

By that logic, Mayweather - McGregor is the second biggest boxing match ever.

Your a marketers dream lol "oh the resume, but his resume says"... The way a fighter fights is what makes them a legend! Everything from the belief in his chin, his subtle defensive movements, his balance, his movement, ability to cut off the ring, carrying power in both hands, not smothering his work, being the most prolific jabber in boxing and having the ability to place/curve hooks around a guard.

I'd even argue someone like Emanuel Augustus was a legend. Although he was a journeyman who lost 34 fights his dancing style was truly unique - even Mayweather Jr said that was one of his most difficult fights.

[Jab jab boom]

Be clear, None of the 4 are legends. Legends are guys like Ali, Leonard, Duran, Hagler etc. To be a legend you have to be able to face and defeat hall of fame quality fighters while they’re still at their best. As far as Hearns statement, it’s clear that the overall ability level right now and intrigue is on the side of Crawford and Spence as opposed to Canelo and ggg

[Silence]

Neither Spence nor Crawford are elite fighters. Not even close. There is a huge margin between elite and world class.

Also, lol at GGGeezer is a legend. Lmfao.

I'd rather see Spence vs. Crawford, Charlo vs. Benavidez, and Tank vs. Garcia! Canelo vs. GGG III does not move me, like it would have if this was 2020!

That’s reason why Hearn keeps trying compare fights.. a lot of people is not interested in canelo/triple G 3 so he has keep talking down biggest fight of year if made

Lmao no just no. Resumes are what defines a legend. Tito trinidad fought a who’s who of boxing same with ODLH, hopkins, RJJ, SRL, Marvin hagler. These are legends. GGG is a can crusher with 0 great wins and has only ever fought one great fighter who he has not every been able to get the win against. Golovtards are nuts lol

[TheOneAboveAll]

GGG is as much a legend as Erislandy Lara. Nice how the media gives him credit for a bunch of baby belt defenses and compares him to Hopkins but Lara does the same and nothing. Legend, LOL. Legendary for hustling Canelo's name for equity and paychecks from DAZN. Maybe Canelo has some pre-legend status among Mexicans but GGGimmick is a fraud. Just ask Unable Suckerchez.

May your entire lineage suffer the scourge of fulminant papilloma virus for your insolence!
