    Most definitely.

    GGG will go in as favourite, but I do think it's a toss up fight.

      War GGG?
      His post is a bit delusional. No offense, Barcham.

      So.. on the contrary, I actually think Canelo can trouble Golovkin. I've seen holes in Golovkin's boxing, although he is fantastic and exciting boxer, that Canelo can use to his advantage.

      As Canelo likes to fight in spurts and Golovkin likes to increase his punch outpout by trading. With Canelo power he can hurt Golovkin in those moments.

      That's one thing I can say right now. However I see Golovkin overall the better boxer puncher and I pick him to win against Canelo.

        People really have to stop judging GGG on what they have seen him do against other fighters. He modifies his style to match the person he is fighting. Everyone seems to think that Golovkin will stand back and let Canelo tee off on him the way he allowed Monroe to do. Give me a break. People try to say that GGG has poor defense but when asked to show the stats to prove it, they can't. Give me any fight and I will pull up the stats that show his defense is anything but weak. Then of course, they will say that Compubox stats are crap and not accept them.

        For just once, I would like to see someone, ANYONE, provide something to back up their position. I remember going through crap like this before the Stevens fight, before the Geale fight, before the Murray fight, you name it. They were all going to give GGG a huge challenge and lots of difficulty. We saw how they all turned out. Canelo will be no different.

        If Canelo and Oscar really believed he could beat GGG, the fight would be made BEFORE the Cotto fight. Imagine the hype for the guy who beat Golovkin going up against Cotto, the lineal MW champ? It would be incredible. But guess what? Canelo has as much intention of fighting GGG as Cotto has. Absolutely none at all.

          I am one of those who believe Golovkin's defense is pretty good. Like we've seen in Monroe fight for example but he seems to let it go if he doesn't respect his opponent power. Like I said it is Golovkin's style that could play into Canelo's hand, literally.

          I have a feeling Golovkin can be hurt by body shots rather taking hits to the chin. Man, this is so exciting but I am supporting my man Golovkin all the way.

            Golovkin's body shots>Canelo's body shots. That will be a big difference maker.

              In all fairness to GGG, it's probably not a fair fight as Canelo is the bigger man.

              GGG just made a choice NOT to sleep in a sauna to make 155lbs. Can't wait for GGG to move up in weight and fight Canelo doe.
