Comments Thread For: Monroe Confident: Canelo Will Beat Gennady Golovkin

[HeroBando]

Here we go again. Anyone who holds an opinion that Golovkin isn't the boogeyman gets attacked. Monroe gave his professional opinion. It happens to be legitimate. Few comments discussing the actual boxing behind his opinion. Unfortunately, that's typical of most hardcore Golovkin fans.

It'd be more legit if he didn't get dropped 3x and quit in 6.

In the past year he gained 2 belts and Canelos dignity. You see Salido wearing Ggg gear and lampooning Canelo, like so many fighters out there laughing at the guy.

You never answered, how many alts have you had? Ballpark is fine

"In the past year he gained" Monroe Lemieux and Wade, you ****-jockey.

And funny that you object to a recent Golovkin detractor, considering the dozens of golovtard-alts that have surfaced over the last few months.

Monroe is a nonentity. GGG beat him down until he gave up. No reason for his opinion to have any credibility. Period.

[HandsofIron]

Right now it's 60-40 in GGG's favor since Canelo is not a true middleweight and GGG is. When Canelo moves up and fights a Lemieux or Curtis Stevens, we could get a better assessment of how he does at MW and then maybe the fight could be closer to 50-50.

Lemieux and Canelo have different styles obviously so GGG will come to Canelo and they'll both go toe-to-toe at some point and this is where Canelo will get his chance. Imo, whoever lands the first good shot is getting knocked out.

if canelo beats GGG then the GGG fans will say "canelo waited for GGG to get old"

they wont give him credit even if its at 160

I can see you altered your style on here since you have some green. You were a bitter troll projecting hate in each of your posts, what a difference green k can do,

I don't think what he said here is over the top, so far we know Canelo struggles when you fight him on the outside, we haven't really seen anyone take him on the inside. GGG might think that is the best way to beat Canelo, but he would be playing into Canelo game plan that way. Still have GGG as the favourite but nothing should surprise you in boxing.

He said the same about Lemiuex. I thought he was wrong then and I think he's wrong now. He spoke about how much success he had on the inside against GGG so he thought since Lemiuex likes to fight on the inside, he would get inside and beat him. Obviously that didn't even come close to happening.

I'm not saying Canelo can't beat GGG, I just don't think that its a smart bet.

I agree with everything except that I don't expect that to be Golovkin's gameplan. I said the same about GGG - Lemieux fight, while everybody was expecting war between them two, I was thinking Golovking would stay outside and keep him at the end of his jab.
Ok, on the other hand Canelo and Lemieux are not the same fighters, while Lemieux is agressive come forward swarmer, Canelo prefers not to chase his opponents and is looking good everytime they come to him, so he wouldn't have a lot of problems to show his mid-range and close range skills, which are extremely good, but I simply don't expect GGG to go that close and similar to Lemieux, keep him at the end of his jab and be patient.
By the way offtopic: I believe GGG has a great inside game and is very good at fighting in the clinch, but he didn't show it yet, I saw flashes of it in one or two fights, but that's another story...

That's the whole point about Golovkin, we don't know his limits yet.

We never saw him dropped and he has been barely losing some few rounds.

He never has been tested, never had to try something else (B plan, go full inside) due to the level of opposition he's been fighting.

Canelo has been tested by Floyd obviously, but also Lara.

I'm not saying that because GGG is undefeated.

Floyd himself has been tested by Castillo, Maidana, Judah and somehow Oscar.


GGG never had to dig deep.

Maybe we never saw GGG A game, maybe he's just a boxer puncher who can't adjust just like Kessler was (Kessler was good, but Calzaghe exposed him and Ward undressed him).

Monroe is right ..canelo does his best work on da inside ..but he doesn't mention how is canelo going to get in da inside vs 3g. .canelo lacks uses of his jab ..lacks da footwork to move inside ..so how is he gonna get inside..and wen he does get inside what makes one think GGG won't hurt him..or that he gonna hurt 3g wen he lands.. canelo couldn't even hurt Cotto..so yes canelo does his best work inside ..but is it going to be effective vs GGG? Personally I just want to watch da fight just to see canelo get TKO KO. .but fight isn't competitive. .might he 1st few rds. .but overall imo it isn't ..rather see GGG fight Saunders or Jacobs..guys with skills n some power at 160

That GGG jab should land on Canelo from the outside.

Like I stated before, GGG is almost 3 inches taller and might tag Nelo with his jab unless Nelo find a way to neutralize that Jab.

GGG has been using his jab against 6 footers during his whole amateur career, fighting guys like Direll, Bute...

GGG will probably have a game plan like this one : fighting from the outside with his jab, shifting and engage mid range to get some hard exchanges then pivot/ or clinch head first in order to not let Nelo get his own (shorter) range in the pocket.

GGG and Abel aren't ******, they know Canelo is from a different breed than Lemieux or Monroe.

Nelo is experienced, tough, strong, elusive and smart.

That's a cool and interesting fight, unfortunately, ain't happening soon...
