GGG: "I dont know Danny Garcia"

[Citizen Koba]

Boxers are pretty ******ed when they don't follow their own sport.

GGG is actually something of a follower as well, usually pretty good in his picks too. My understanding is that he meant he hasn't really watched enough of Danny to form an opinion. For all the time I spend watchin' boxing, there's plenty of top fighters I haven't really watched properly - specially in the lower weights, and I probably have more a lot more time than GGG to keep up with it.

I remember talking to Floyd about 8-9 years ago and he told me he didn't really follow the sport. I was asking him about upcoming fights.

I've also trained at boxing gyms where the fighters don't follow the sport, pro's don't even know who the champions are in their weight division.

I think here though it's GGG saying he doesn't know him personally but he knows Matthysse so he goes with him. He also says he likes Canelo against Mayweather which I'm sure is thread worthy.

Possibly the same reason for this last. GGGs met and sparred with Alverez, seemed to have a fairly high opinion of him too. I think he's supporting Canelo, but earlier comments suggest that he thinks Mayweather will win unless Canelo manages to get him out of there early.

Oh, and also that he thinks it ain't gonna be a particularly exciting fight - something I tend to agree with, despite all the hype around it.

It's because Matthysse is like da da da with his punches every punch is a knockout punch, Swift is not that's why he doesn't know him

I must have missed those, I only read where he said it was 50/50.

Floyd will probably try to make it as boring as possible, if the crowd is booing he's winning. If the people are cheering, he's taking some shots.

Canelo will have to change that, maybe even get rough in there and throw Floyd down if he's holding for dear life on the inside. Yeah it's dirty but this might be his only opportunity at Floyd.

You're right about that, if 'Nelo wants this he's gonna have to use every trick in the book and make full use of his size advantage.
