    Canelo might not be a "slick bruva" but he is a "chico suave" and that might be enough to beat the Kazakh caveman.
    lol. what is a chico suave? small softie? He looked slick against Cotto doe

      Do any of those threads involve Alvarez? Is Saul Alvarez a particular person in boxing? Or do ggg fans feel every context is about their poster boy? This is like fans saying Wilder is going to smash Joshua with his right and the Joshua fans say, ''look, another Joshua thread!''

        why is floyd trying to fight him then?

          Because it'S easy?

          Let's recap,

          2015, White and UFC campaign by having Rousey bash Floyd... karma throws back

          2016, White and UFC have Conor bash Floyd...

          Keep in mind, Floyd has no benefit nor initiated criticism towards the UFC or said fighters...

          2017, ''Foik Floyd, I'm the face of boxing!'' Conor gets a license... months laters Conor tells Dan Rafael, ''trusss me, nobody knows what's coming...trussss me!''

          Mayweather starts to saturate the comedic industry hype and fans want it while others don't...

          Isn't it obvious?

            GGG is 35. That's getting damn old for 99.9% of all fighters.

            But he's still very good. Styles make fights.

            He took a "street fight" approach to a fast and game Brook and took some shots that I think were ill-advised. But he sent Brook to the hospital. Then he fought a huge Jacobs at his prime in all respects and who followed his own separate weigh-in rules to squeeze more advantage out of his size.

            So, GGG has looked more "vulnerable" for stylistic reasons. Not just because the fighters were better. They were also different styles.

            Conversely, look at Canelo's last two opponents. Pushovers.

              So you'Re saying Jacobs had the advantage because the IBF runs 160?

                Chico Suave is the Mexican equivalent of a Slick Bruva, only the former could never be quite as slick as the latter.

                  last 5 of canelos opponents were all catered to make him win. drained chavez,c level smith,glass chin lightweight khan,2015 cotto, and no anne wolfe hadnt fought in nearly 2 years Kirkland.the only 2 competitive fights in canelos career is floyd and lara,better yet fighters that werent catered to make canelo look great.

                    you can arguably say the same about golovkins entire resume.. you can even throw jacobs in there and claim he has a shaky chin, in fact he was a huge underdog who most didnt think will get past 5.... ggg underperforms and now jacobs is huge, iron chin, elite, etc....
