Golovkin-Alvarez, i will say it once

[Sun_Tzu]

It may be a body shot that gets him. I think he will chip away on Canelo similar to what he did with Lemule. There are plenty of questions. Nobody knows how Canelo will handle Golovkins power. I think he will stand up to it and keep trying to fight. I do think it will eventually be stopped by the ref or his corner though but like I've said before Canelo may come out and best the hell out of Golovkin.

Canelo is in his prime now. If he keeps fighting the scales, his prime may be short. The game he is playing is a very risky one.

Right on.

Funny thing is, he would likely perform even better if he didn't drain himself so damn much..

Yup...It is only a matter of time before the body stops cooperating. Some dudes do this and the body says enough is enough. Next thing you know, they not only cannot make the weight they are aiming for, but even the weight class above it becomes a struggle. Look at Broner as an example.

if i remember correctly there were moments where canelo was being walked down by floyd. GGG will put a beating on carrot top

what if it happens next year??

then i do not know

But it is only an opinion from what i have seen from both fighters as of today.

[eco1]

it will be interesting to see how canelo does in his first fight at 160, he could be stronger but he can also be slower, who knows...

how in hell can you say 160 in his first fight?

He always comes in way over that limit.

What you come in at isn't your weight class, he's never fought at the 160 limit. We'll see how he looks.

For the record, people greatly exaggerate the 'Canelo's killing himself to make weight' statement. Outside of the 152 catchweight, Canelo has looked big and healthy at every weigh in and stated every time that he makes weight without difficulty.

Guys like Brandon Rios (at 135) are what fighters killing themselves to make weight look like; gaunt and zombified.

Can't compare Floyd to GGG. Floyd was doing it because he was trading with counters and avoiding everything he'd throw. Similar in a sense with Khan and Canelo. It was skill he wasnt being overwhelmed.


GGG may knock the ginger off Canelo but there's also the chance that GGG gets Angulo'd and just had everything thrown at him countered.


Anyone saying it will be like Lemieux is silly. Even Tapia labded every jab on Lemieux... Canelo is over here knocking dudes out that try to jab with him. His reflexes and skills are too good to be dominated with one arm like Lemieux. Canelo has the best chance to beat GGG from the 154-160 guys. Ggg is favored but Canelo is more than live. If anyone will ever beat GGG it'll be Canelo. He's got the tools for it. We can hate on Canelo all we want but he's the truth as well. GGG might be too much but I wouldnt be shocked either if Canelo embarassed GGG.

GGG is the champ. Canelo is merely a draw but he's below GGG.

If there is anyone more durable than Murray from 154-160 it's probably Canelo. Murray lasted 11 rounds with Golovkin, granted he took a beating later on after having an okay start. But I think that Canelo can do much better than what Murray did, a more sustained performance, a better mover/boxer, and more accurate
