Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Golovkin Deal Finalized For September!

2 years late but i take it, it will be a good fight, Canelo has improved and GGG got old, much closer than the mismatch it would have been 2 years ago. Still 100% convinced GGG beats him.

Canelo was sucking wind big time and he wasn't even getting hit.
When GGG works him over and Canelo starts gassing , its going to be night , night ginger boy.

Canelo was sucking wind? what the **** are you talking about? Canelo was ****ing standing up in between rounds and not sitting, if he was gasping for wind would be ****ing standing? moron.

Sweet. That was cheesy as hell though.

I guess the usual suspects will soon start making "Canelo is a beast" threads now the fight has been agreed.

[Kigali]

Main take away that I got from the fight is that Canelo doesn't appear to be very strong above 160lbs. He really never hurt Jr and his punches were very slappy like. They aren't heavy thudding shots like he has at 154-155

I think Jacobs, Charlo, even Lemieux power and size at this weight would give Canelo big problems. So realistically he and GBP had no where to go after this fight. Even at 154 you still had Charlo's and Andrade waiting...

TBH Canelo's career should be winding down at this point he started early and he should retire early. About 5-6 more fight Canelo should hang em up..

Jacobs would destroy Canelo

A guy that can't win ONE round off lil Floyd ain't beating Jacobs.

Jacobs would send Floyd to the hospital, and into our thoughts and prayers.

Jacobs already did. It's a shame no triple Flop fan has a home, or else I'd bet their broke ass(es).


Canelo!!!!!

That's a funny analysis there.

Jacobs was a decorated amateur who came into the Golovkin fight with just one loss and an 80%+ KO ratio. Against all odds, he recovered from cancer and came back to fight again when he was told he couldn't.

He won a championship and knocked out Peter Quillin, a legitimate middleweight opponent, in the first round of their fight.

Golovkin didn't look spectacular, but he knocked Jacobs down and won a competitive fight in which he faced a game opponent who opted not to participate in the same-day weigh-in for obvious reasons.

On the other hand, Canelo has mostly been fighting at catchweights and vacated the WBC middleweight title he won from a small and past-his-prime Cotto.

Chavez has a reputation as a lazy bum who doesn't take care of himself between fights, and there were real questions about whether he could get down to 164.5. Chavez's last two fights were 12 round UDs against unnotable opposition. His last name opponent was Andrzej Fonfara, who knocked him out.

In tonight's fight, Canelo managed to land nearly a third of his jabs and over 40% of his power shots against a fighter who clearly wasn't game, but Canelo couldn't even hurt Chavez and seemed content to spar with an opponent who supposedly lesser middleweights almost certainly would have hunted down and put on the canvas.

But GGG's competitive fight against a legitimate opponent was an exposure and the embarrassment of a fight tonight against a million-dollar tomato can was a glorious victory for Canelo?

Right.

Excuses already? Smh.

Great matchup stylistically Canelo boxer puncher GGG boxer puncher Canelo is the better boxer GGG is the better puncher Canelo has the speed advantage Canelo has the better defense both have good chins stamina I give the edge to Canelo my prediction is Canelo by decision

[TheCell8]

WBO said if Canelo wanted it they would make him the mandatory for Suanders Middleweight strap. Could have fought Lemiux as well.
Canelo wanted the fight but his team and promoter wanted to hold off as they wouldn't have to give up as much $$$ to lesser opponents. Fights is made. And those same fans were chanting Canelo at the end will be fully behind him now.

The fans wouldn't have accepted that though. He was heavily booed walking into the ring. That wasn't just booing because he was fighting Chavez, that was the fans saying 'you're a fraud and we don't respect you'. If he announced he was fighting Saunders or Lemieux next, the backlash would be so immense.

It was the only choice he had left.

and now, It's all over but the crying.

[HanzGruber]

i love how floyd's fans are riding canelo's nuts hard they are afraid that GGG beats one of floyd's bigges W easier than their master

What? There's no comparison lol. Floyd is a 147 from 130. Gg is a 10 year middle weight. Knocking him out doesn't do anything to Floyd win, Floyd won't knock Canelo out in 100 trys

[Realizniguhnit]

35 ain't old and GGG just beat someone who's prime 30 and not too many fights ago annihilated a 26 year old Lemieux...

People must realize folks from that part of the world do not age like we do.. Thats why Vald is still going at 41...
