Who has a better chin? Canelo or Golovkin

[Sadiqkingofko]

Out of 100 I'd have to say Canelo 97/100 and Golovkin 99/100

[HarvardBlue]

It's close but I would say Golovkin. He's definitely been in with bigger punchers.

If it were Alvarez, would Alvarez execute a sloppy overhand right to finish the sequence?

That's why HBO said when he got caught with that left hook, ''at 19 years of age'' as Lampley is saying and ''decides not to clinch but fight back..''

whereas Golovkin at 27 years old gets clipped by a left hook by Amar Amari with a 13 9 1 record, and GGG decides to clinch when he's hurt...

dog vs dog will be shown in Sept.

Both have good chins, but Canelo's chin needs to be even better than Golovkin's, because Golovkin hits harder than Canelo.

Golovkin doesn't look hurt in that clip you posted. He was just caught by a punch he didn't see.

Tough to gauge. But GGG has been hit cleaner by bigger punchers. I'm going with Golovkin.

i agree with most of this, but will prefer if canelo shows better defense and not relly on his chin... avoid flush shots for the most and the chin will be there if needed...

Trout and Lara are snipers hitters, even Charlo was getting blasted back when Trout would land clean. It's usually harder to avoid elite southpaws vs orthodox stance. Imo Alvarez will have better intuition and reading when Golovkin comes offensively.

Styles make fights. Lara's compubox striking would do more damage than Lemieux ever could, meaning accumulative, but only with top fighters, not random blokes fighting a Lemieux. Lemeiux is very one dimensional. A good defensive craftsman could ease of Lemieux's offense and tame it.
