Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Canelo's Behavior at Presser Showed How Insecure He Is

Lol are you serious?

Crawford gets hurt and dropped by bums

Loma gets schooled by 21 yr Olds

Usyk fights in the least skilled division in the sport.

Learn boxing kid canelo is head and shoulders above all those hype jobs.

Just fishing to start fights... yeah I guess I will bite.

Crawford has barely been tested, so I do not know what you are referencing. His resume is weak, but he has not been in any trouble in the ring since the dinosaurs died.

Loma can blame no one but himself for the Lopez loss. He chose to throw no punches through 6 rounds. That is kind of required in boxing. But once he decided to fight, he swept every other round but 12. If you have watched him in any of his fights, he is Wally Pip in todays boxing world. A cut above in movement and punching from angles. To argue that is just spite.

Apparently, you did not know the CW division existed? It was easily one of the deepest divisions in boxing for a few years, right up there with 147 and 135. Usyk cleaned it out, often going into his opponents backyards to do it. Gassiev in Russia, Huck in Berlin, Breidis in Latvia, and Bellew, Chisora, and Joshua all in Britain. The man is a fighting champ unifying one division and a single belt away from doing it in another division he gives up size and natural strength to every opponent.

Does any of this mean Canelo is not great? No, of course not. The man is a super star who is very focused and rarely outworked. But I would not rate Canelo above any of those three in raw talent.

Golovkin is talking very boldly, as if he knows the chains are off now and he no longer is restricted to have to play soft for the franchise as he was forced to do in the first two fights. Seeing GGG KO win.

Eventually Ryan Garcia will drop his guard and disclose the good, the bad and the suspected illegal
activities around Canelo's gym. Unless a recently departed fighter beats Ryan to be punch.

Inquiry minds want to know.

There are 2 reasons Canelo is mad at ggg. 1. Is he knows that his inability to get a clear win without judges assistance over ggg has tainted his legacy. He feels safer now that ggg is 40 and has clearly slipped but the cloud of those first 2 fights has damaged his ego.
2. While everyone else such as the wbc and other sanctioning bodies have kissed Canelo’s ass about him getting caught cheating leading into the ggg rematch, ggg has flat out called him a cheater and doesn’t buy the lame excuses that every cheater has. This infuriates canelo because that’s another black cloud over his legacy that won’t go away and it’s tied to ggg.

This clown has made a mint off of Canelo's name and Canelo is supposed to huge him. Delusional Eastern Euro and Central Asian fans

Headlines 18th Sep:
Canelo wins by TKO round 7. Coach throws towel.
Fans wish GGG a happy retired life.

Yo, Triple b!tch might well be right about this apparent insecurity, but Canelo had just faced his own personal GARBAGE DAY in a beat down not long before, so it’s obviously gonna manifest in weirdo behaviour.

I still rate him, even though I’m siding with Golovkin.

Triple b!tch? Dudes love to show us just weak they are in life…dude would turn you into his personal glove with a slap, just one.

Don’t think that was his point, his point stop acting like this is some huge beef yet you waited all these years to settle it…a hug? Canelo looked like idiot that first presser even his non delusional fans were like “wtf is wrong with him” matter of fact go back and read the articles and look how many people thought he was roid raging because he came off looking crazy af. That’s no disrespect, it’s the honest truth. He looked like someone out of control. It was a bad look no matter how you paint it and you can see they realized it and went in there differently on the second one.

Yeah, I’m just using one of the all-time great boxing scene nicknames ironically for a laugh.

Believe it or not, GGG is in my top 3 favourite active boxers. I just don’t take this place nor it’s fandom-related beefs and criticisms of boxers that seriously.

Canelo is obviously an elite boxer, and so is GGG. The commenter noise about either guy building a record on beating bums and tomato cans is frankly ignorant. Nobody starts out fighting elite fighters, so if a man has elite talent, he knocks out a lot of nobodies before he’s taking on the best. Once he’s taking on elite talent, he’s going to have some bouts where he doesn’t look so sharp. This has been true for both GGG and Alvarez.

What makes the upcoming match interesting is that Alvarez got beaten rather handily by Bivol, and the scoring was obviously tilted towards Alvarez. It was embarrassing to the sport and to the judges to have spotted Canelo 4 or 5 rounds and then for him to lose anyway. So, a lot of fans are entertaining the hope that maybe, just maybe, the Bank of Canelo is out of funds, and we might get an honestly scored fight. If so, then GGG has a real chance at a win. And if Canelo goes into the ring feeling like his organizational magic has been dispelled, then he might fight differently… take risks, lose his temper.

Bottom line is that even the best can be defeated. It promises to be a good match. GGG is ahead in the goading department, but that really doesn’t mean much unless it combines with a loss of Canelo’s judge tilt, in which case it could give a well deserved ’W’ to Golovkin. But I would not bet anything I couldn’t afford to lose on this fight.
