Nacho Beristain: "Golovkin could destroy the career of Canelo...even retire him"

[NEETzsche]

i would have a lot more faith in canelo if he and his handlers hadn't shown such reluctance to face golovkin. based on the eye test i think he'd give a good account of himself, although i'd expect golovkin to win in the end

because of his style. he's not just some random pucnher whose only hope is to eventually withsomething big and put you out quickly.

he uses his jab and does precise, clinical damage. it usually takes several rounds. durable guys, which canelo is, are exhausted and figured out by the time the beating starts to take place. that kind of beating has a serious effect on a career.

think ouma. guy lasted 11 rounds, iirc, but ended up in the hospital. never fought a meaningful fight again, and was laid off for 2 years before he got back into 6 rounders [and went 1-1 ]

Although Canelo is young enough to rebound, guys who have lost to GGG lately have taken fairly prolonged beatings. Some guys do not come back well from those. Some do though. It all depends on the mental strength of the person.

Though, Canelo doesn't fight Golovkin next, at the new Vegas arena. And precisely who will make Ganelo even better for Golovkin "at some point" (you all call 160 as being weak)?

You don't need to be in the ring with an elite fighter to learn new tricks and polish up weaknesses. You can learn new things fighting bums.

Most of the guys GGG beat either came in for the check and ran around the ring till they were cornered and dropped or just flat out ******. I haven't seen Monroe in the ring since the GGG fight but he's one guy who came to bring it and took a good beating. Would be interesting to see if he's bounced back.

[NEETzsche]

By the time Canelo and GGG do actually fight, I suspect Canelo will be more than ready.

i think that is more dependent on how quickly golovkin's age catches up to him than anything canelo does. alvarez is ten years into his pro career now, he's hardly a prospect any more. in fact we probably know more about him even than we do about golovkin, thanks to the opponents he has been able to get in the ring so far

You're so weak, doe... They're all on PEDs and you know that...

... And I'm not either Russian or "Soviet"... I'm only having a good time watching your U.S (and American) guys and you the fans (as well) being terrified when it comes to fighting a "Soviet school" top product.

And i'm neither Russian, Soviet or American or African American, or Haitian, or African, or Black, or Brown, or Mexican, or Egyptian, or Turkish, or Polish

Monroe did not take a really bad beating. He knew exactly what he was doing in there. When he was getting tired and realized he was going to get hurt, he decided to barely lose the count. The ref did not get his message and was still going to allow him back in before Willie told him he had enough.

Golovkin should be fine in another year or two. Canelo will improve, making him more competitive against GGG but I don't know if it'll be enough to beat him. He did impress me against Cotto though so maybe I'm sleeping on him.

To be fair, Ouma wasn't a typical GGG fight, he held his own. But yeah, he did pay the price.
