Comments Thread For: Golovkin Opens as 4-1 Favorite To Beat Canelo

I'll take the guy who has never been knocked into the ropes over the guy who got jelly legged by Jose Miguel Cotto
"HE WAS YOUNG DOE!" lol
I'm sure weight draining himself these last few years has made Canelo's chin better, right?

Indeed, these years of draining may be a downfall for Canelo's whiskers. Anyway I don't think this fight will happen soon. Canelo ain't that ******. He will move gradually to 160 lbs and milk his big status in the process.

Got to KO Canelo if am being honest. This would be like sweet pea getting a draw against Julio Chavez all those years ago.

He's not actually "moving" anywhere. All he would be doing is cutting less weight.
It would be healthier for him to stop the 155lb nonsense and fight at the MW limit. He might be able to actually fight hard for a whole round.
Healthier until he gets in the ring with GGG anyways

How is starving/dehydrating himself to 155 a benefit for him?

Can someone please answer this question?

If you put on 20lbs after the weigh in, then you're struggling to make 155 for absolutely no reason other than to avoid facing true MW's

Actually I think Curtis Stevens, Murray and Lemieux were much tougher opponents for GGG than it would be Canelo. Gingerboy's power is averege @ 160 lbs plus he has very stiff legs.

Canelo sparred with Stevens, he feels pretty confident to face GGG. I think Canelo beats all thise 3 guys. Better defense, combos, same power.

Gingerboy has to establish himself at 156, 157, 158 and 159 weight divisions before he steps up to 160 lbs.

Cause he's counting on his opponent to have to drain himself out even more to make the weight

[gmc_rfc_06]

People need to stop kidding themselves about Canelo killing himself to make weight. He makes 155 comfortably, he looks healthy and full at the weight and he/his team say they can still make 154 no problem for a good fight.

There are many fighters who clearly look terrible on weigh in day due to killing their body to make weight, Canelo is not one of them.

This is drained;





This is not;
