If you havent noticed, not too many people here know a thing about boxing. It's mostly race arguments and curse words spelled with all kinds of symbols so they don't get filtered. Only a handful really know anything.
That being said, GGG is a great boxer. What makes him good is that he can win in different ways and he proved that against a big strong guy like Jacobs. Canelo can also win in different ways. Should be a good fightComment

I still think Trinidad Snr is wrong..... Canelo is a more complete fighter than Golovkin
GGG has obvious strengths, Canelo is more well-roundedComment

Interesting perspective. I think he is essentially right. His relative lack of power at 160 really narrows down his options in the fight.
Jacobs had the power, size and strength to force GGG to be exceptionally cautious and measured in his approach. Canelo has well-rounded boxing skills and excellent speed/counter-punching, but I don't think he will have enough firepower to keep GGG honest. GGG will be able to open up and use his skillful aggression to force a fight Canelo can't win.Comment

The last two GGG fights, showed he is not the beast everyone thought he was. He seemed more ordinary than extraordinary.
It all comes to this, If Canelo can handle his power, he will outbox GGG. If GGG want to turn it into a street fight, he may get stopped. I think Canelo has better boxing skills, he has the advantage in speed, accuracy, combos and defense. GGG, may have size and power. But has to land flush to test Canelo's chin, which I don't recall being tested by a puncher like GGG. (I still think on that JM Cotto fight in 2010)
Two things I don't like about Canelo, is he often fights too relaxed, even when it seems to have hurt an opponent. Also, he believes too much in his boxing skills, seems like he never brawls. Anyhow, I don't think this two things will affect him against GGG. GGG, only fights one way, and expect him to be right in Canelo's nose, not giving much respect to ginger's power and making the fight easier for Canelo if he can successfully slip GGG's best punch, his Jab. Making him pay with fast, and hard 3-4 punch combinations. Including a nice Uppercut, which GGG seems to feed on well.
I think the reason GGG, fought Jacobs differently was rather a survival / cautious mode, he gave too much respect to Jacobs' size and power, and was counting on being able to break his "glass chin", which didn't seem glass to me. Although I think GGG won that fight, he didn't look well winning it, nor he seemed to be in control. He owes that fight to his Jab.
It's clear I'd put my money on Canelo. He has done more to convince me he can handle GGG, than GGG dealing with a boxer like Ginger. I still think Brook with an above average MW power, may have gotten the job done within 5 rounds.Comment
