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

20 rep compared to 12? You do the math?

And that's why they fight. I don't think this fight is going to be an easy fight at all for GGG. Heck when they sparred when Canelo was 20 and had zero experience he held his own...

A lot of GGG fans don't share the same opinion. GGG beats any fighter in any era, is what it comes down too. It's pretty sad, all you need to do now days is say "Big Drama Show", and "Good Boy" and you send these pac fans into a frenzy.(GGG fans were Pac fans first) Canelo definitely has a chance I just don't see how people don't see it that way.

I think Canelo is a great champion. He's got all the tools to beat most. Unfortunately he hasn't faced anyone like GGG. Canelo said he likes when fighters come after him in the ring. GGG will hunt him down and methodically break him apart IMHO. If for some reason he can withstand the storm he might have a shot. I just think he's still a bit inexperienced to handle GGGs kind of pressure. Either way they're are both great and it should be a entertaining fight however things turn out.

This is where people make the mistake in operating GGG. "Canelo has never fought anyone like GGG"? it's actually the opposite, GGG has never fought a fighter like Canelo. If GGG can win this is his shot into superstar Dom. But it won't be as easy as his fans think. Canelo will be his toughest battle to date, win or lose.

Yeah his fans can be quite extreme and annoying as FK! I like GGG a lot but his fan make it very hard to root for him. They think Canelo is going to fall down as soon as they touch gloves from fear alone. I think this is going to be an AWESOME fight. And either one of them takes the other lightly will be a HUGE mistake. Canelo hits GGG flush like GGG let's some boxers then it might be over then. Same goes for Canelo. This fight is going to be the 1st one who makes a mistake is out.

In every big fight in recent years, I've always made money because the odds are closer than they should be. DLH-Mayweather and especially May-Pac was a decent payday. This fight will probably close in on 3 to 1 odds after the 24/7 hype and it won't seem to be as much as a mismatch as it is. I'm betting big on Golovkin.

Yeah this will DEFINITELY be GGG's toughest fight yet. Both are VERY deserving of their Pound For Pound Top#10 rankings.

Canelo's girlfriends

Both looked very blessed to me.

Judging the 2 fighters head to head, I think Canelo has the better speed and combination punching ability, either to counter or just to score points. GGG has to track you down and seek to destroy you. As shown against Lemieux, he knows the dangers that await him, which was shown by his increase in jabs throughout the first 3 rounds, Lemieux posed a legit threat. Canelo has superb head movement and will counter that Jab up top by a straight right all night imo.
GGG fans can think this is an easy fight all they want, but will be in for a rude awakening once Canelo starts putting those punches together.
