    Well I guess I'm glad people think this because that's going to make the fight more likely to take place.

    Canelo better not make this **** at 155.

      He has the skills, but he still needs to show he can utilize them consistently for all 3 minutes of all 12 rounds to beat a monster like GGG.
      gennady will show cracks once he steps up in opposition. Looking great against his current level of opposition isn't the same as looking great against elites

        Idk man. I'm a fan of both (bigger fan of Canelo, however). Canelo HAS to throw more punches if he wants to beat Golovkin. GGG will take advantage of Canelo's inactivity if Canelo lets him. And Golovkin won't voluntarily go on the back foot like Cotto did last night. Canelo CAN win, but he needs to switch up the gameplan in order to do so.

        On another note, I really want Canelo to get another trainer.

          I have no doubt Alvarez would be tough for Golovkin. He's easily a good enough boxer to land hard, sharp counter punches on Golovkin and make him miss.

          What is he going to do in the other 2 minutes of the round, though? What is he going to do when he can't control distance and he's having to deal with pressure in his face that he can't escape? He still hasn't shown he can handle that.

            Hell man I never got off the train! I got Canelo by close decision. Murray lasted 11 rounds with Triple G, and tbh I don't think Murray is a better boxer than Canelo.

              No, no. Canelo is very predictable. Of course it's one of those things that are always easier said than done, but his offense is just about ONLY effective when planted, you can actually predict by his foot movement coming forward exactly when he's going to throw a combination. But he's gotten better I believe and with growth he may at some point have just enough against an older Gennady.

              Golovkin, however, is not as dumb a fighter as you guys keep trying to convince yourselves he is...he's actually pretty ****ing good and he could very well outbox Canelo just using the jab. If the fight takes place next, as it should, I got Gennady. But I think GB is too smart for that and Canelo's team have enough people buying into the catchweight excuse (in the same division) to avoid that fight....indefinitely. 155, c'mon now that's not even close to 160, and Canelo's ****ing huge.

                Fight gennady on the inside. Alvarez has good defense at that range and gennady is most dangerous when he has some room.

                Saul should nail gennady's body to sabotage his gas tank and power

                    Sorry I can't join your train. I have been a huge Canelo fan ever since I first saw him knock out Cotto's brother. I have made lots of money betting on him and made more money with this win. I think Canelo beats everybody at 160 on down except GGG. No middleweight can beat GGG in my opinion. I wouldn't bet on the fight because GGG and Canelo are my two favorites now along with Kovalev. I don't want either GGG or Canelo to lose. GGG beats Canelo in my opinion. GGG would have knocked Cotto out within 5 rounds tops also in my opinion.
