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

[HeroBando]

Did GGG live up to his word when anybody for 154 to 168??


If GGG were 24 and wanted to unify titles in a dead division over guys that posed no threat at all....then yes....do your thing.

But a 34 y/o 10 year pro...NO WAY.

Golovkin doesn't have the time to fart around like he is doing.

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

Monroe has some salt eh? the dude quit.

he quit because ggg was fighting on the outside. it was a roberto duran i dont want to fight this clown type of thing. in the rematch monroe schools him with his newfoudn inside knowledge

Well, Monroe appears to be so ****** that he doesn't realize that Golovkin took inside fight only when he wanted to. Inside fight happened only when Golovkin closed the distance without jab, with his gloves at his face. Whne Golovkin wanted to beat Monroe outside, he simple threw his jab and Monroe had no answer. So how ****** is Monroe that he didn't realize it even whatching a video of the fight.

GGG beat up featherfisted Monroe...big deal.

If Golovkin is so great why is the bar set so low for him???

its not a big deal to me. it probably was to monroe at the time though.

he's not great. its just amazing watching someoen with no boxing skill or talent continue to win. this is a miracle run we are witnessing. its as if eric crumble suddenyl started going the distance in his fights over and over. could you believe that?

[StefanTosic]

Monroe has a point.

Nobody ever schooled Ginger fighting in the Pocket.

Nelo got beat by Floyd from the outside, almost beat by Lara, again from the outside.

In a FIGHT, toe to toe, Canelo has tremendous skills.

GGG is the perfect style for Nelo, GGG'll be coming at Nelo, so Nelo will easely find his distance, GGG is obviously a mid range fighter who likes to cut off the ring.

Where I disagree with Monroe is he's not taking in count the size and power.

GGG is 5"10 1/2, Ginger 5"9, they have the same reach recorded but dunno about that.

When they faced each others in that ring, I was like damn, GGG is bigger.

What would worry me about Nelo is, while he was able to outbox a smaller ma, like Cotto, he never really hurt him.

You would expect a bit more of power in order to beat GGG in a fight.

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...

Either Monroe wants Canelo to get destroyed so that he can say he did better vs GGG or Monroe wants Canelo to get destroyed so that he can say he did better vs GGG.


Monroe's best quote on this whole matter: "I'm done".

or u know he just thinks canelos style is good for ggg lol u ggg fans always think of these weird motives anytime someone mentions the letters ggg

Gennady will stop Canelo are you joking?


Canelo won't be able to keep Gennady off. To beat Gennady you need feet and Canelo might as well be wearing Timberlands.


You hate Gennady so much I love it

[RussB23]

Too bad canelo isnt as confident as monroe
