Not true... I was there once and a man there named Sanady Solvin Salovkin, he went by triple S, said he was a huge Canelo fan......

One thing a lot of the comments appear to forget is that fighters styles often change as they age, in particular styles like Golovkin’s. It happens in every sport. You train differently as you age, your punch resistance drops, you slow down. None of that suits a come forward style that’s reliant on your reflexes and defence being better than your opponent’s.

Golovkin has clearly adapted his style since the second fight with Canelo. He left Sanchez because he had no plan B. Sanchez was still ****ing on recently saying Golovkin needs to return to his old style which is clearly bitter rubbish as Golovkin’s ageing body can no longer play that game the same. He’s covering up more, throwing less and taking more shots, none of which is great going into a rematch with Canelo.

The one thing Golovkin does have over Canelo is potentially his engine. Canelo who’s been so reliant on his power does slow down in the second half of the fight a lot. If Golovkin can withstand the inevitable initial onslaught then I believe that’s his best chance. In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that’s his game plan - wind Canelo up to the point of rage so he goes flat out for the stoppage early and empties his tank in the process.

It should be noted that Golovkin has never been down let alone stopped in 350 amateur bouts and 44 professional ones. All those predicting a stoppage should remember that, the guy has one of the best chins in the sport. I think he’ll weather the storm but will loose on points, genuinely this time.

I agree with everything except the loss. Once he gets Cinnabon to gas, he will put the beats on him.

Ggg is right Mexicans although the biggest fan base in boxing love to hate on each other idk why it's only Mexicans.

A Kazakh will never root against a Kazakh

An African American will never root against an AA fighter.

A Ukrainian will never root against Ukrainians.

A puerto Rican will never root against a PR fighter.

A Filipino will never root against a fellow pinoy.

Mexicans do love to hate they need to wake the fuxk up.

Its not hate, we just hold our fighters to a higher standard.

And they also love sticking a knife in your back, well, in my experience.

Maybe it a was di*k..

Canelo can smile knowing he beat GGG at his own game with GGG refusing to claim Mexican style ever again. Afterward GGG even tried to throw his trainer under the bus and made himself look bad in the process saying he never really knew about Mexican style because Abel is from California lol. In other words, it was just marketing, the only thing he wanted from Mexican fans was their money. At least Canelo had the self respect of always representing his country unlike GGG who let his trainer pimp him out as a different nationality for the money.

Shut up! The guy consciously ingested clenbuterol and very likely steroids due to his in ring deficiencies. He clearly has no self respect!

There's no one harder working than Canelo who came from the streets, has been fighting since his teens, and busily lines up champs. Nothing wrong with enjoying the fruits of your labor. The claim that he's some super arrogant guy is just projection when he gives back to his people and always takes time with fans. He doesn't even talk much smack until it becomes personal, even though everyone is always coming after him.

As far as the hate Canelo gets in Mexico, much of it is a byproduct of the social media age where every hater and uninformed casual can spew their narratives online. The funny thing is they can't even stay on the same page, like some calling his opponents bums (even Bivol) because they don't follow boxing and don't know the champs, then others say the opposite and claim his wins are so impressive his opponents must have thrown the fight.

As far as GGG being this super humble guy, again that's just projection. GGG straight up said he'd "seize" on the opportunity to legally kill someone in the ring which is low even for boxing. Kazakh fighter Bobirzhan Mominov who shares the same amateur coach as GGG and spent time in both the GGG and Canelo camps talked about his complete opposite experiences with GGG having a reputation of being cold with his fellow countrymen boxers and wouldn't give him the time of day when he asked for advice and even ignored their mutual coach when he visited him. He said Canelo was the opposite being the first to greet everyone in camp and even personally gave him money to help him get out of his contract when he heard he was having promoter problems.

GGG runs around like his **** doesn't stink bragging about his legacy when he never put in the same work or took the same risks as Canelo.

I know the character of GGG & I know the character of Canelo - I genuinely believe Golovkin will leave it all in the ring in what is likely his last fight before retirement. I believe him when he says age is just a number and I also believe he'll be going up to 168lbs with increased power. When Canelo doesn't get his way he folds instead of adapting or fighting at a higher level.

I'm so confident in GGG even at 40 years old I'm willing to place a £100 bet with you that Golovkin scores a knockdown. If he doesn't I'll arrange to send £100 to you and if he does you send £100 to me. Let your money do the talking!
