      It'd be a worse mistake not to grab this fight when its finally been legitly offered.

      Looking forward to this fight. I thought Canelo would win 2 years ago so I'm only more confident in my opinion now with GGG being 2 years older + looking more human & beatable in his last couple fights then he's looked in awhile. I expect Canelo's elusiveness while right in front of you + hard counters will make this a rough f#cking night for GGG so it'll definitely be GGG's biggest challenge.

      I am glad he's finally gotten the opportunity doe & I do think this will be a entertaining & competitive fight.

        Everyone talking KO is just ******. This battle has decision written all over it. These two both have great chins. I don't even see a knock down in the fight.

        I like GGG to win a decision because Canelo tends to gas late and will give up the late rounds to GGG.

          Maybe the biggest name, but not the biggest challenge. Jacobs was much more difficult fight.

            Canelos lack of jab and somewhat primitive defense worries me for him.

                He's not wrong. Alvarez is easily the best fighter he's ever fought.

                  Alvarez is the biggest money maker he ever fought, the best fighter thats a long shot.
                  GGG , will dismantle Canelo.

                    I agree. Its a good matchup. Canelo is a very good counter puncher but GGG is very good at creating pressure by cutting off the ring. Canelo is faster but GGG is probably stronger. Both guys can take punches. I just can't imagine a way for this fight to be boring.

                      I don't see that. I think Jacobs is clearly the toughest opponent of GGG's career. The version of Jacobs that GGG barely eeked past would probably destroy Canelo. Styles make fights and I don't think the styles or the physical advantages favor Canelo in that matchup.
