Surprised to see you guys pick GGG. Looks mean not much

[boxingtop24]

don't care how old golovkin is because he takes care of him and don't be fooled by that last irrelevant fight the boss takes over it's title

Canelo has every possible advantage against a 40 yr old visibly dimished skill wise Ggg. Canelo will have at least a 10lb weight advantage when they step into the ring. As the odds indicate - this will be a significant upset if Canelo loses. Weak by Canelo for waiting for Ggg to age another four years…every fan wanted to see the 3rd fight right after the war that was the second fight. Canelo didn’t want to go through another war with a still near prime Ggg.

Cop out reasons why it didn’t happen either. Canelo said, “he doesn’t have a belt. He brings nothing to the table”

Canelo’s b1tch ass! Doesn’t bring anything to the table huh? He’s your biggest rival, gave you 2 hard fights already and the fight sells itself.

I’ve lost a lot of respect for Canelo lately. I think Canelo will win, but I’m hoping for a Golovkin upset.

Golovkin can ...

In this fight the chickens will come home to roost for Canelo. My money is on the man going up in weight. This is the fight where Canelo ages.

If GGG loses this fight it will not be down to a flush shot from Canelo or a progressive beat down - ONLY Golovkin's gas tank running out and not being able to perform is what gives Canelo victory.

Canelo can't just jump in and try to "destroy" GGG, he has to respect his power. And like Banks says, this time Golovkin is aiming at everything - head, body, arms, neck. I predict Canelo will wilt if he hasn't KO'd GGG by round 7 as he just doesn't have the mental toughness, we saw that against Bivol.

If Alvarez's stamina is now a definitive issue for him, even at 175 pounds. Then it will be a issue at 168 pounds.

Unless, he has identified maybe a area in his training which he can improve.

If Alvarez's wants to stop Golovkin, it will most likely have to be by accumulation. Which is gong to take stamina.

Golovkin's stamina is going to theoretically improve at 168 pound, from his last fight.

The most influential variable in this fight, is most likely going to be the stamina of both fighters.

Alvarez's stamina is not super bad, it is just not elite. I would say pound for pound his stamina is worst that Anthony Josuha's.

Golovkin's stamina has always been solid.

On current form, I still make Alvarez the favorite. I think Golovkin has to improve from his last fight, in all area's.

Actually just thinking about it I can see Canelo's gas tank running out as it did against Bivol. If he uses his usual lateral movement AND loads up with nearly every other shot (as he did against Bivol) he's gonna be blowing out of his a$$ yet again. Fingers crossed.

G looks a lot healthier at this weight. Both look solid. Canelo didn't seem as cut as he was against Plant tho. Best of luck to both tomorrow.

Probably because he went up a division and then back, that trip north can create a little mass that's sticky making you that little bit wetter for the same lighter weight.
