    and how is he better than brook? Brook went up against a monster 2 weight classes above and was competitive for a short while. I have yet to see canelo move up even 5 pounds and be competitive with anyone.

      Its easy to spot trolling, because unlike you, many of us give technical scenarios instead of you calling out an insecure outcome
      alvarez loves taking punishment. like how he was scared of Floyd's counters so he barely did anything

        Canelo is accustomed to the hand speed of guys like Mayweather, Khan, Lara, and Trout, etc., so imagine how ready he'll be when Little G's slow ass punches come at him.

        Little G does have more power than anything Canelo has been hit with though. If Canelo's chin is as good as it seems I think he wrecks Little G.

        Like you said, Canelo has cement feet, but so what? It's not like you need to be light on your feet to get away from Little G's blazing fast punches. Canelo's waist movement and head movement will suffice in avoiding Little G's heavy punches.

        I think Canelo clearly wins a competitive fight.

          Canelo knows how to dip back while still pocketed, and many times responds with a counter. Golovkin fans find an excuse that he goes into IQ mode when he uses that jab... Again, read the first sentence I wrote.

          The reason why Golovkin hasn't faced Lara, is because Lara can make Golovkin miss all night that jab ala southpaw greatness from Lil'Gs left

            So Brook is better because he lost?

            Oh wait, he's better because he moved up. Guess we should take GGG off the pound for pound list in that case.

              to withstand a barrage from Kirkland battles tests Alvarez's confidence.

                Thats the point i was trying to make though. GGG would walk him down and canelo wont go anywhere, hes going to be right there in front of him. GGG will break his body down over the course of the fight. Canelo likes to be the bully by outweighing everyone but he cant do that against GGG ,he would be the one getting bullied. Canelo can move his head all he wants, the body will still be there to be hit. And GGG has nasty body shots.

                And by the way GGG is more methodical than fast. He doesnt need to be that fast to be effective, he gradually breaks guys down with pressure. Canelo will be easy for him simply because he wont go anywhere.
                Canelo is much harder to hit to the body than you make it seem. He steps/jumps back and slips and catches punches rather well. I seriously doubt GGG will have the succes you envision since his hand speed would be easy for Alvarez to foresee GGG's onslaught and thus find safety.

                Canelo doesn't pressure effectively nor does he use his size to his advantage in that specific regard. Is not like he walks his opponents down lol, he breaks them down through a stylistic approach. He doesn't tie up and at times fights to his opponents advantages since he tries to box all the time, even when he should be pressuring his opponent because he's getting outboxed himself.

                  Canelo is a good boxer, has a head with the size of a watermelon. GGG keeps getting older, yes, Canelo also hits bigger than Brook. And Canelo is heavier than GGG.

                  Anything can happen. My opinion is that GGG wins if they fight at 2017, but I dont trust the judges. If they fight at 2018 or 2019 canelo would be favoured because of age.
