Mayweather-Golovkin is Mayweather-Canelo Pt. 2

[darius45]

The difference as other posters have pointed out, is that GGG is a hunter...He cuts off the ring very well, he can box well, and his power is on a different level than Canelo... GGG has that very rare, scare the **** out of you, power.

Also, maybe most importantly, Floyd doesn't have the power to keep GGG off of him... Floyd isn't going to keep GGG "honest" with his power...GGG isn't going to be content to try to box for point, but on same token, he's not some wild slugger like Maidana... He will pressure, pressure, pressure with good boxing skills and even better power.... He is a serious threat to Mayweather no matter how you slice it.

Mayweather is scared of getting hit by GGG.

And conversely, he's "scared" of being out pointed by Lara(or scared he won't do big PPV numbers)... Yet, if he's concerned about PPV numbers... GGG/Floyd would do huge numbers... GGG is a hallmark HBO name now... and even casuals know of him

Either way, Expect a **** choice opponent from Mayweather on September 12... If he fights either of these two guys, I will gladly eat my words.

I honestly believe Ward vs Golovkin would be Mayweather vs Canelo part two.
But I agree with the topic starter that at 154 GGG would be weight drained especially considering the fact that hes 33. When fighters over 30 try to drop a weight class it really ever works out.

Comparing GGG to Canelo now? Didn't realize Canelo was a pressure fighter who sliced the ring in half really well and had hands of stone. The movement is differently, power, punch selection and ring cutting capabilities. There's also the intangibles.. which I won't even bother getting into. Completely different fights.

Oscar is praying Floyd chooses GGG.

I actually think Canelo is the more fluid puncher of the two and has slightly better defense. Golovkin has better foot placement and much more power. GGG is better at cutting off the ring while I think Canelo is better at combination punching, slipping punches, and countering.

Honestly, if GGG could make 154 easily he'd be fighting there instead of 160. He'd be drained, but whatever, I think most people would still want to watch this fight.

At 154, there will be no cutting off the ring (low stamina) and not as much pressure (low stamina).

And obviously much less power.

Ggg won't be 100 percent but you can't just assume all of his skills will be gone

Slipping punches & countering meant fuck all to Canelo against Floyd.

Against Floyd clearly Canelo's style was atrocious as Floyd won every minute of the fight. You wouldn't want GGG to be anything like Canelo. Someone who can cut of the ring and apply relentless & intelligent pressure is what you would want. Just speaking of the styles that would be much more in GGG's favor than Canelo.
