Do you guys believe GGG really lets his opponents tee off on his face?

[Buckfever]

He does decide to invite the opponent to brawl. Personally I don't like it, I'd rather he stays defensive and wait for his openings. It's a problem that no one wants to fight him and he has to create drama.

[MRBOOMER]

I'm a lil confused here also Margorito did this and fights and he was a "badass" for it. Made him a real man. But GGG does it and he gets compared to Nate Campbell.

I also noticed he stopped attacking and actually stepped back whenever Willie let his hands go, not a good look. At first I figured he was trying to set up traps or shoot off a counter but he wasn't, at times He didn't retaliate at all. That may be something a combination puncher like Canelo can exploit whenever they do face off. GGG has an iron chin but his body may not be as sturdy, we'll find out in due time.

Yup. He wasn't returning fire because he wasn't at a range he was comfortable at. Like I said in another thread, Canelo can throw punches at all ranges where as GGG needs space.

Canelo has the tools to win. Stand in the pocket, smother him up close. dig to the body early to take his legs away, and as the legs go, so does the steam on his punches.

Canelo's steam goes in the second round. He's fcked in a fight with Golovkin, he's gonna lie on the ropes and get pulverised.

Your tactics are spot-on, but he's not the guy.

Hopefully he doesnt fall in love with his own power which is typical of big punchers

That is a bunch of Bull**** and fans making excuses for his weaknesses.

He doesn't move his head and his Defense is his Offense. He can get away with eating punches to get off his punches vs Weaker Opponents but vs better fighters we shall see if he is "Letting People Blast Him In The Face On Purpose"

Just because fighters have Flaws does not mean they're not good fighters by the way so i don't know why fans are so on the Defensive when someone point out a flaw in their favorite fighter. Every fighter has Flaws!

This is what I'm seeing also. Obviously Golovkin is a monster and the best at 160. But Roy Jones jr was absolutely right to acknowledge that while stopping the hyperbole from Kellerman at the same time. He has flaws that a higher level of opposition can exploit.

How could Canelo's steam go in the second round when he nearly decapitated Kirkland in the third?

Canelo hasn't looked too good at the weigh in and may be looking to develop into a very strong MW. I wouldn't think too much into the bold which is also an exaggeration.

[joseph5620]

if canelo was better than golovkin he and his handlers would make the fight in an instant

Good point. I wish they would.
