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

[Dr Rumack]

There doesn't seem to be a middleweight around who could stand with Golovkin, so you have to either move or frighten him with your power. You see guys like Stevens, Murray, or Rosado have temporary success with big shots or movement, but temporary success is a long way from winning.

Canelo has respectable power at JMW but that would hardly get it done against Golovkin. He doesn't have the stamina to fight off the back foot all night. So really all he's left with is continuously making Golovkin miss, countering him and stepping out of trouble. He has the hands and the timing for the countering part, but neither the defence nor the footwork for the rest of it. So he'll have to eat shots every round to fight his fight.

If Canelo proved to have much better punch resistance than people currently think then he could win for sure. But it would have to be punch resistance on a level few guys around at the moment have and I doubt he has that.

Nacho also said that Margarito beat Cotto fair and square. Now what, maricon?? What's your opinion on that?

i'm calling bullshit on this, ***r.

jmm is on record saying that margarito is a disgrace to mexican boxing and i think that nacho's sentiment would echo that of jmm's.

now, mariposita - if you'd just correct me with that nacho statement, i'll quietly stfu and proceed with my day.

He's right, though.

People said the same thing when Garcia was going to fight Lucas Matthyse, nothing is 100% in boxing, not that am comparing those two by the way (Dont want GGG fanatics making a big deal out of this post now).

I remember. Sadly a lot of those people made those picks because they were too busy sucking some promoter's d*ck or felt like Garcia was Haymon's boy. I remember how they concluded Garcia wouldn't last five rounds because of the weigh-in staredown



"Look at the way Matthysse is so relaxed. Hands in pocket like, I'm just gonna go in there and KO this punk."

[BlakBread904]

This overblowing of predictions reminds me of Garcia vs Matthysse. Only that they were both full blown JWW's, Canelo has to grow into a full blown MW. But when he does, or if K2 let's him, I think it's a wrap for GGG. I'm very dissapointed at the options for Canelo i'm reading of though, Rosado, Monroe Jr. I was hoping more like Andy Lee or David Lemiuex for a nice little testing the waters fight against a real MW, who Canelo would probably stop. Rosado, Monroe, that's weak stuff, that's what GGG's resume is made of. It's a huge drop in competition from 154 to 160 though.

Stopped reading right there. Canelo consistently weighs over 175lb on fight night. His body is that of a full blown middleweight. He just needs to fight some guys his own size (MIDDLEWEIGHTS) for a change. However, Canelo fighting guys his own size is not called "growing into a full blown MW." Its called, "fighting guys his own size" ffs

It's official folks. Don Nacho, the legendary hall of fame boxing coach has gone senile.

[Bardock]

Nacho just confirms and FOR HIM Cotto won the fight, saying that a lot of ppl influence in the results at the end.

Ahora q van decir enanos cabezones, q nacho no sabe de boxeo o q mas??? JAJAJAJAJA

LOL you're still clinging to that fantasy that Cotto won huh? Canelo ruined your lives

[megas30]

Why do ppl say he will end his career? I mean he'll lose and get battered, but why that he'd be done or retire after? Fighters of lesser caliber than Canelo have come back and challenge for titles, so?


Lou Dibella said the same thing, something like: it'll destroy a young career.

The only way GGG beats Canelo is if he lands something really big. Anyone saying GGG will destroy him is just hating on the Ginger. I, personally, favored Canelo in that fight.

I'm hoping Nachos right
