GGG -350 Canelo +265 yikes..

Canelo got some skills. I am disappointed how he acting but sorry he does. His speed and countering is impressive.

Even if he manages to stay upright, I just don't know if he's busy enough to win (legitimately).

I also don't see him knocking Golovkin unKhancious, with a single punch.

[CaneloMaidana]

Agreed.

Even with Canelo's "experience" he will still come up short against GGG. I actually think GGG has MUCH better boxing skills and Ring IQ than Canelo.

We've seen what GGG is capable of vs LeMule, we have yet to see anything close to that level from Canelo. He could probably school Canelo using mostly just his jab. How many fights has this man been in (am & pro)? Still never even been knocked down.

Only advantage Canelo has is Youth, which allows him to drain so much.. but he can't keep it up forever and is likely already struggling.. but who knows? maybe cutting the 155 BS would actually benefit him at this point.

So beating up Rubio scraps proves something

Canelo will be on his under rated bike trying to punish Golovkin as he comes in.

At 160 GGG destroys him unless the fight takes place after 2017.

Trying to... you said it.

Might be overrating GGG just a tad? Canelo will by far be his toughest opponent. Canelo has also fought the tougher opposition. This will be GGG first fight on a major stage. Odds should be closer.

Def worth a flutter on Canelo, especially if its in Vegas. If he gets knocked out I assume they'll just ring the bell to end the round and wait til he wakes up. Canelo UD after 2 hours.

This is the reason why I wanted to see GGG in with some real top level guys before the Canelo fight was made. Hard to know if we're overrating the guy based on the competition he's been in with.

As the odds stand, I'd bet GGG by KO with Canelo by decision and let it ride.

Is GGG's stamina all that good? I recall him getting a lil winded vs Monroe who was making him miss (although not as much as I'm sure Monroe would have liked him to miss lol). I need to go watch some longer GGG fights I guess.

With all the missing I'm expecting GGG to be doing in this fight vs his typical fight I think there is some competition with stamina's. Although I doubt stamina decides the fight.

Golovkin has a tendency of lulling somewhere around the 6th or 7th, and then immediately picking back up again. And he does fight for all 3 minutes. He looked plenty fresh after 11 rounds beating up Martin Murray. Sometimes people think he's winded because he always takes long, deep breaths in between rounds, but that's something he always does.

He definitely has better stamina than Alvarez, and his relentless pressure on someone who isn't the best mover in the world and doesn't like to throw a lot is going to make a huge difference. This might be a more skilled version of Margarito/Cotto 1, where the more skilled fighter couldn't hold off someone who was in his face every minute of every round and eventually gets worn down.

Bet on the favorite close to fight time after the day dreamers put money on Canelo and the line gets better for GGG.
