Comments Thread For: Schaefer To Canelo's Critics: Golovkin is no Superman!

[pacmanis1]

Just to play devils advocate what if Schaefer actually believes Canelo will get a brutal beat down and wants to see it because that'll hurt Golden Boy so he's just trying to goad them into the fight?

review Canelo/smith & GGG/Monroe/wade/ Lemieux

I don't agree with the bold

Golovkin doesn't get hit intentionally, that is bunk

" I couldn't really land any punches " ~ Liam Smith

and power will not determine the Canelo/Golovkin winner

the best fighter will win that fight

We can agree to disagree - the wonder of gentlemanly observations. the Canelo/ smith fight - post fight smith made those comments out of pride - amith has zero power. He touched Canelo , he couldn't affect him. As to GGG dropping his defense on purpose he absolutely has done that more of late as to create his "big Drama Show" Monroe like smith didn't have power and GGG almost goaded him into taking shots to prove that Monroe couldn't hurt him and that Monroe in turn would be punished - GGG has in fact admitted when questioned done by Max kellerman in post fight interviews. He won't do that out of respect for Canelo's power and chin - both men will have to be prepared. And they will be. I believe effective aggression composed of: ring generalship, ability to time the other fighter and defense effective punching and movement will absolutely play in as factors both rely on power and speed more than lateral movement and defense clearly much of which is due to their respective power and ability to impose their will on the other fighter. You certainly have to be able to take the other fighters shots - it's the more intelligent fighter that avoids unnecessary damage with head, shoulder movement (more rare these days) lateral movement ( mostly non power punchers) and footwork along with balance. Not unlike Mike Tyson pre- jail time and Mike Tyson post jail- Age not withstanding . That's what makes the welterweights so competitive Keith Thurman can move , hit, control space in the ring is an example similar with Shane porter and a few of the others

I don't believe a word of that..... and if that was true, all that would prove is that he is fighting sub-par opposition.
