Golovkin Is Easier To Be Beaten Than Canelo

[Vasyl’s dad]

come on bro, Lemieux isn't that good of a fighter, who is C-Level at best, he was out boxed by Acline, I know Golovkin can box but that's not his specialty, he's an experienced amateur fighter who is an olympian but he's there to be hit, he doesn't know the first thing about upper body movement, and if he fights someone physically bigger than him like Chris Eubank Jr he will be under lots of pressure, He'll beat Eubank no doubt but he will be tested, that was the fight I wanted, not petty Kell Brook who had no chance at all, Golovkin doesn't move at all, I'm shocked Froch avoided him because I see him putting Golovkin to sleep at 168

If Lemieux is c level, what are Kirkland, Angulo and Smith?

[UNBIASED BOXING]

GGG definitely has shown signs of aging.

Compare his movement when he fought Macklin vs. most of his recent fights.

But what can you expect? hundreds of amateur fights, and nearing 40 professional fights. Age catches up real quick. Especially for a guy who is already 34 years old...

also C-Level, Lemieux even though a C-Level showed us that Golovkin can use a jab if he needed, and Kirkland, Angulo, and Smith showed us what Canelo does to guys who come at him

GGG's biggest weakness is his age

He will eventually lose due to slowing reflexes and because he hasnt needed to evolve too much throughout his pro career.

Whilst he is a very good fighter, Canelo will lose again simply because at some stage he will no longer enjoy the massive size advantage that he has enjoyed throughout his career.

It honestly would not surprise me to see someone like Jacobs do a Hearns-Duran on him

yeah this^. I would hate it so much if canelo gets golovkin when hes old and slow and then beats him, can you imagine the amount of **** de la hoya and canelo would talk.
If the fight happens soon i would heavily favour GGG, im not really sure canelo actually is the better boxer than golovkin, hunch is that golovkins got another gear to go up against a top class opponent, basing that from some of the boxing skill ive seen from him in his amateur days. Although lemiuex isnt exactly mike tyson, you could see ggg was wary of his power and his approach to that fight was a lot different to how he was against brook where he had no respect for his power. Predictions can change but my hunch is that GGG just outboxes canelo more than anything to a clear UD, keeping him at bay with the jab.

Golovkin punches so damn hard his opponents are in survival mode from the first punch, he cut's off the ring so beautifully that fighters like Lara can't beat him and would be stopped quickly, but if Golovkin gets caught with something big and he will with that style he will be put down if it's against Jacobs, Eubank Jr, or Canelo. I think he stops Jacobs very early but as we saw in the Quillin fight Jacobs can stop anyone and he can do it very quickly, but as we also saw in the Mora fight he is wreckless and has a glass chin. As for Eubank Jr I think he will test Golovkin early, land some clean uppercuts but Golovkin will start to catch up with him late and drop him a few times maybe get a decision or late stoppage. But the Canelo/Golovkin fight is what is really interesting, how will Golovkin fair against the best counter puncher in boxing, the man who probably has the fastest combo's pound for pound. And how will Canelo be able to take the hard body shot's Golovkin lands early and into the bottom part of the ribs. I see the fight going either way but due to resume I have to go with Canelo by decision.

Canelo has cement feet. GGG can beat canelo with 1 hand the jab which canelo dosen't have and his slow plodding feet won't catch ggg because he'll be on the ouside like he did with lemieux. Then you'll make another thread saying how ggg was exposed and so and so can beat him.

Canelo has never ever outboxed someone the way ggg did with lemieux. He stands in the center of the ring looking to counter. Canelo is a poor boxer when it comes to out boxing someone and staying on the outside with the jab. He has no jab and his feet are too slow. He'll break him down with the jab and then go to the body and stop him late rounds. Corner throws in the towel.

I do think it's a very winnable fight for Canelo.

Matter of fact, I could see it ending up a lot like the Ward/Kov fight...Gennady hurting him early, but after Canelo adjusts to the power, outboxing him the rest of the way. 3G's probably an underrated boxer but Canelo's still a better boxer than Golovkin.

I'd be rooting for Triple G but him beating Canelo damn sure ain't the wipe out that hardcore Golovkin fans think it will be.

I wish they would just fight already. It's an interesting fight but if they wait a couple years it could become far less so.

its that old saying ' you are only as good as your last fight', noone really gave canelo a chance before the brook fight. Its like how kovalev got written off by many because he had an off night against chilemb. Because GGG looked a bit reckless and wild against brook, i think people are imaginging him coming towards canelo with his chin in the air and getting tagged, canelo is a really good combination puncher after all. But thats not going to happen. Its going to be a far more respectful and cautious golovkin using his jab far more. In terms of ring generalship and footwork, golovkin is light years ahead of canelo. And i think canelos got this aura of being solid, great chin, powerful, because hes punching people who is smaller than. I wouldnt take it for granted that he can hold up to golovkin when they start trading.

[Redd Foxx]

TS makes a sound argument in that Canelo is technically superior in his technique and reflexes. I still favor GGG to win though because "styles make fights". Canelo is too confident in his defense and punches that slips/blocks/absorbs from other fighters would get him in severe trouble with Golovkin. Until Canelo shows greater interest in refining his defense, I pick GGG. That could change though.

First - look up 'gg just a puncher' on youtube, there is a selection of 8 vids. Watch 'evasive aggression' then come back and tell me GG has no head movement.

Part of what u say is correct, Conela has good upperbody movement and counter punching and is not known for dancing away, but rather standing and trading.
THIS is what makes this fight such an intriguing match up. Its not a clash of different styles - its two styles that are similar and should be entertaining.

GG and Conela both have good ring IQ. Conela more with setting traps and sticking to a plan. GG more with feeling out his opponent and reacting to how his opppnent acts. Thorxox said it before - look at 1st round of GGG vs Monroe (and remember monroe has very quick hands). GG avades his punches with head movement and skill, but by the 5th round is dropping his hands and letting him get a couple in...and don't try to tell me the unified mw champ has stamina issues and couldn't do in the 5th what he did in the 1st. He felt him out and acted accordingly.
In fact - watch all of GG fights in the first round. You will see a lot less aggresion and much more 'feeling out'

In conclusion: Its a pitty conela vacated and ran away from, NOT towards GG. This would have been a great match up and one for the fans! Poor conela must continue his 'golovkin avoidance' diet.
