Please Explain How Canelo Is More Skilled Than GGG? LMAO

[Metho_4u]

GGG has more power but Canelo is far more skilled, faster and much better defense.

Good video, and cotto has a higher skill level than golovkin... people can b1tch about it all they want, but it's true. Bottom line is golovkin tries to rely too much on power, when that fails, he panics and looks just ordinary. He better stop canelo because he'll get picked apart on a pure skill level, and if anyone thinks golovkin will just walk through canelos shots, you need to get out of fantasy land.

that fight was very close I was there... canelo hasn't won any of his big fights in dominant fashion

ggg has had only 1(jacobs) big fight, how did that work for him???
that happens when you step up your opposition, you end up in close fights...

Canelo is not less skilled than GGG. I agree with the result, I think Canelo wins, but you also can't tell me that GGG is more skilful.

Canelo has a better style than GGG. Most of the times, that's all it takes, that your style is superior to your opponents style. Canelo is defensively better, you could be right, that GGG is not more skillful but he does do better things offensively. Defensively though, GGG is lacking, counterpunching also, GGG is lacking. The guys who gave Canelo the toughest fights were defensive counterpunchers. I may only be giving the skill edge to GGG because he looks better because he's fought lesser fighters. It's easy to look "less skilled" when you're fighting guys like Mayweather and Lara.

Another big factor that doesn't get enough attention is overlooking an opponent. Even when the favorite claims he's taking his underdog opponent very seriously in camp, the favorite unintentionally still doesn't take his opponent as serious as he should've, which ends up in a loss. He only thought he was taking him serious enough. It's very possible that the "i'm the fave, i'm the champ, fans think i'm superior" could get to a fighters head and he won't go as hard in camp because his confidence is getting in the way. It's a mental game as much as it is a physical.

Canelo has much more in his armada.
GGG is a boxing minimalist.
I believe GGG's limited weapons are perfected: his jab and countering the jab with jab, following the opponent, overhand right and left, body punches. And he does some rolling here and there.
Canelo slips, rolls, pulls, counters but compared to GGG's his moves are not so effective but still great.
We gon see whos ass is the whitest.

Golovkin's a shifter.

That's how a green Daniel Jacobs got KO'd against Pirog. He shifted with feints: left foot fwd, right foot fwd, left foot fwd, squared up, BOOM, right hand.

GGG is great at shifting. You're squared up (in range) and your opponent has nowhere to retreat.

Canelo hasn't seen it yet and hasn't shown he has the footwork to negate it.

Jab is one of the most fundamental moves of boxing, which GGG has mastered to a level that Canelo seems to be severely lacking.

GGG has superior footwork when it comes to closing the distance and cutting off the ring. Canelo Alvarez on the other hand seems to chase shadows more frequently against boxers with slightly decent enough movement.

GGG simply has the superior fundamental techniques whilst Canelo Alvarez is a more flashy looking flamboyant boxer that looks more impressive than he actually is. GGG's defensive movements AND offensive movements are far more subtle but at the very least, equally as effective if not more than the more flamboyant flashy looking movements of Canelo Alvarez.

Also, GGG wastes very little energy compared to Canelo Alvarez. Those flashy and flamboyant movement from Canelo Alvarez may look more 'technical' or impressive, but they also burn a lot more energy. Thus, they aren't better technically as GGG is just as effective or more but uses up less energy. So GGG's technique is far more energy conserving whilst Canelo Alvarez is less and that's why Canelo is lazier and fights in small bursts whilst GGG can be far more active with a higher work rate.

nope. GGG is the most skilled offensive fighter.


this is a fact.

none of those guys p4p has better offense than GGG. Period.



Cotto is 1 handed. Lara is a runner with low power. Trout is average with low power. Mayweather has feather dusters. Mosley was old as hell and small. lmao @ khan. you're an idiot.

He said trout lara and khan? BUAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA

[satiev1]

I had an argument with someone yesterday who said Canelo has shown problems against the jab and GGG will beat him with the Jab because it. which i laughed because Canelo is great at defending/slipping jabs not ok, not just good, he's great at it as you can see from the gifs but I wanted to look up the actual numbers. I'll just repost from yesterday

When you stand flat footed and throw the jab then yes. GGG is moving while he is throwing his jab. He is also moving back at the same time rolling his shoulder as he throws the jab. See lemiuex. Canelo won't have time or space to counter his jab.
