That punch was so vicious I am sure it most likely would've KO'd GGG also

[stuff jones]

let's be honest here for once guys. canelo threw and landed that vicious bomb right on khan's chin. if that punch landed on golovkin the same way it landed on khan, he would be catching some zZzzZ's also.

so dont blame khan's chin or whatever. that punch was so devastating it would've KO'd ggg most definitely as well.

im a fan a both but facts are facts.

You don't know what the word facts means.

[ELPacman]

Not if GGG lands first. Canelo making his fights look easy when he comes in at nearly light heavyweight against his smaller opponents. GGG is real deal middleweight. None of this BS easy cash fights.

Either drop the belt or man the F**k up. Even Cotto fought for the lineal belt at 160lbs against Martinez. Cmon Canelo, enough bs.

GGG wouldn't have thrown a horrible lazy jab and allowed Canelo to land like that.

Besides I'm not convinced Canelo is a big punching MW. He has power but knocking out middleweights with a good chin is totally different to knocking out inactive bums like Kirkland or guys like khan who could barely take shots at 135

Golovkin has already taken shots from far harder punchers than Canelo like Stevens and Lemieux, so I doubt it. He also wouldn't make such a big mistake as others have pointed out.

You are beautiful

The difference is, Golovkin wouldn't try to catch Canelo with a 1-2 from time to time and be on his bike like Khan was.

He'd go there and start cutting the ring off the flat footed Canelo from the opening belt. Canelo wouldn't be able to comfortable wait and adjust his pace.

Also, you say Canelo would hurt GGG if he landed that shot against him, what if Golovkin landed the right hand Khan did in the first round? Maybe he wouldn't KO him straight away but it'd let Canelo know that he's with the big boys now. But unlike Khan, Canelo doesn't have footwork to get out of Golovkin's range, he does have an upper body movement that will let him get away with some punishment but in the end, it won't be enough.

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?

[Luilun]

With those neck exercises GGG does i doubt anyone knocks him out

[El-blanco]

Khan leaves his chin out on a ****in pedestal for guys. Very few good fighters do that and I doubt golovkin would. I don't even think I've ever seen him turn his body and be perfectly aligned for a punch like how khan did tonight. This fight just made Canelo look more basic than most people already knew. Golovkins jab would bother him to no end and he'd have no answer.

What was khan doing standing there for waiting to receive the punch? He should have been on his bike!
