The best fighter GGG has ever sparred with.....

[AztecWanker]

Quillin has the faster hands and has shown his power at a higher weight that GGG actually competes at. I'm not saying Quililn beats Canelo or anything like that, but it does surprise GGG didn't even mention Quillin.

Being fast and hitting hard doesn't necessarily mean you're a good fighter IMO.

You can't deny Canelo's talent. The criticism of his opposition is fair but he's got some serious potential.

Agreed.

That's a cool compliment, seeing as how he's probably sparred with all sorts of fighters. The negative? Canelo's fans are gonna run with it

GGG won those sparring matches

True, but it doesn't hurt your potential or make you easier to fight. I don't think of Quillin as a future star, but I do see skills and talent with him. That GGG said Canelo says something IMO.

Would have been cool to have footage of it.

It was either Steve Kim or Montoya that wrote an article about it in detail. Canelo held his own but was outgunned.

That sig is sick as hell. As for the topic, Canelo is more skilled than Angulo, but hearing he is better than Quillin surprises me.

Idk why GGG said that but according to the reports I've read his sparring with Quillin sounded more competitive.

he's definitely a better boxer. quillin is faster, but he stops throwing. canelo is actually pretty technical with his offense. if he weren't as easy to hit he'd get a lot more credit for his boxing skills. it's hard to appreciate a guy's skills as a boxer when alfonzo gomez is hitting him with jabs and left hooks



no real surprise. coming up in kazakh he wouldn't get great sparring. he'd get great experience when he's fighting internationally, but not regularly in sparring at home. canelo has an extremely professional style, and he's a world class fighter.

golovkin's CW sparring is simply to get him to respect power, and work on things other than slugging. he certainly wouldn't be bringing in a world class CW for sparring. those guys walk around well over 200 lbs. a fighter like canelo is great sparring, because he has the skills and he's confident

but but but GGG is a monster who kills men with 1 punch and Canelo is a ginger bum...........lol
