Who is more afraid to move up Alvarez or Garcia?

GGG beat top contenders Stevens, Proksa, Geale, and Macklin. And he did so in dominant fashion.
Canelo's feasted on blown up 140-147 lbers, and didn't impress against Trout and Lara.
Also, GGG is MUCH better at cutting off the ring, and has a better jab.Last edited by VG_Addict; 08-13-2014, 04:22 PM.Comment

Duh he's a Mexican PPV attraction. After they successfully got him the Floyd fight while he was still undefeated (so they could hype up the event), they took the training wheels off and it turns out the kid actually has a champion's mentality and wants the best guys at his weight.
When he does move up to 160 eventually, I think it'd be a close fight with Golovkin though I probably would lean Golovkin.
But you can't take a dump on GGG and say he's got no credible wins and Canelo has several when the major difference is that anybody Canelo calls out will drop everything and fight him immediately, where as GGG can call people out till he's blue in the face and everyone flips him the bird (except much bigger dudes, who are only willing to *consider* fighting him because GGG will be a midget in the ring with them)Comment

When you have been in the ring with who Canelo has been in the ring with in the last couple years you cannot say he is overrated, he's rated exactly where he is supposed to be.
GGG, on the other hand, you can say he is overrated. I'm not saying he's not a beast, because he certainly has looked that way with 2nd and 3rd tier opposition.Comment

Canelo barely won against Lara and Trout, and got schooled by Floyd. The only top 10 JMW he beat decisively was Angulo, who was tailor made for him.When you have been in the ring with who Canelo has been in the ring with in the last couple years you cannot say he is overrated, he's rated exactly where he is supposed to be.

The Floyd and Lara fights showed how limited Canelo is. He can't deal with movers.
Golovkin is clearly the more skilled fighter of the two.Comment

You can't say that because Golovkin has never fought the likes of a Mayweather, Lara, Trout. Or even an Angulo for that matter!

I'll answer that with another question, when did Lara has the power to dictate anything?Comment
