GGG and Canelo sparring session from 6 years ago

[Mukuro]

I randomly stumbled onto this article, and thought it was interesting. Obviously a sparring session from 6 years ago should be taken with a grain of salt, but with no common opponents to compare performances, this is something.

If it's true, I might be in for a cooler. I hope Canelo put on som man-strength since then. Still it is just a sparring match, but having Canelo hurt, would still be some feat.

(Link don't work, but read it somewhere else.)

Twippy GEE knows he is gonna get his azz kicked by true "Mexican Style".

Golovkin got older and Canelo got bigger and heavier, and better. Doesn't really make sense to read too much into what happened when Canelo was 20 years old and Golovkin was at his absolute peak.

No offence, but this thread is literally coming up every single day by someone different. Just have a search first and recycle one of the old one's.

This has been done to death over the last 4 years on here, I actually thought some found the video or something.!!!

^ I agree that there's no reason to read into it (esp if that was the one written by crackpot Doug Fischer). I disagree that Golovkin was at his peak because his competition was weak and what he may have lost physically, he gained in ring intelligence and experience in the past couple years from fighting better fighters. Same as Canelo learned a lot when he fought mayweather. Golovkin is probably not physical prime anymore, but I think he's a smarter fighter now.

Regardless though, one guy beating the other in sparring, or even the amateurs, seems to have zero to do with where they are at as a pro. AJ lost to Dylan White in the past, was dropped by David Price, and KO'd by a cruiser. Hasn't affected his record at all.
Mike Tyson was beaten twice by Henry Tillman, but finished him in the 1st rd (?) as a pro.
Many stories like this.

Speaking of that video some people claim they saw. Last week Dougie Fischer said there isn't a video of the sparring session

Is good that you posted a link for the whole story, even if the story came from someone known as a ggg nutrider...
The previous poster(bigdramma) posted only the parts that made ggg look good, so this is actually a better post... still a sparring session from a 20yo and a 28yo should not be used as a gauge for this fight..
