Comments Thread For: Mayweather: GGG Makes Many Mistakes, Canelo Will Win, By KO

[aboutfkntime]

A lot of great fighters have struggled with elite boxers.

true

That isn't a great revelation.

true

People figured because of the knockdowns Jacobs had prior, G would get to his chin and stop him.

true

The other take away from the fight is that an elite boxer will lose against Golovkin.

uh, nope..... wtf ?

nope, you will need to tell me how you came to that conclusion

Jacobs is not this ATG that just came out of the closet, like you guys are trying to insinuate

Jacobs is EXACTLY what you guys said he was before that fight

you saw EXACTLY why Golovkin has avoided elite boxers and mover/spoilers

I don't consider Jacobs to be an elite boxer. Not before, and not after.

If you quote someone you should go back to the original post and quote all of it not just my response. Reread it and see who came up with the term elite boxer.

Floyd is a great one to say....I won SOOOOOO much on this & that.....

Lets see if his mouth back his bucks..Bet on red Floyd.


Red is hype---Why do you think there dragging Cotto in..\\

Another fight after he losses.

I agree and agreed going into the fight.

This is what makes the LLLenady fight so interesting. He is coming off of back-to-back mediocre performances against his best opposition to date...and Brook was a WW and Jacobs was chunky with former KTFO and KD by Sergio f'in Mora!

Canelo is a prime young fighter with a LOT of good experience from Floyd, Lara, Trout, Cotto, Smith, etc. and he's looking stronger and sharper than ever.

I actually have a hard to imagining a scenario where Canelo DOESN'T win. He's just got too much for an aging Gennady at this point

Yeah...the experience isn't exactly stellar.

Floyd -- Canelo lost every freaking round unless you were a judge on the GB payroll.
Lara -- Did Canelo even win that fight?
Trout -- Close. Canelo got the KD, hurray for him.
Cotto -- Wow, Canelo can't knock out little Cotto!

None of these guys are legit middleweights.

And then....Canelo's last two fights. Against a dude that was stopped as a JUNIOR WELTER. And another guy that....well, it was Junior himself. Tacos and weed. No dedication to boxing whatsoever. Drained down and not even throwing punches.

Not exactly great preparation for Gennady Golovkin.

Not sure I would look at Canelo's competition and conclude, "yep. He can't lose to GGG."

It's your money though.

I feel you. Floyd didn't make many mistakes because he never really let's his hands go and counters most of the fight. So there's less opportunities to hit him.

But in the fights that Floyd open up he has made mistakes and got caught to. Zab Judah, Mitchell, Mosley, De la Hoya all caught Floyd with good punches when he opened up.

GGG let's his hands go so of course he gets caught here and there. Same thing with Spence last weekend. More you let your hands go more chance you can get caught.

He says GGG makes alot of mistakes but GGG had waay more amateur experience than Floyd and is a silver medalist. Safe to say GGG knows what he's doing in the ring and when he can play around an get away with certain things or not

I really liked the Floyd that threw combos on the regular.

GGG throws caution to the wind with great technique. Obviously the potential blowback from the wind could be a devastating knockout.

[TheSlickster]

Honestly I thinking Jacobs succumbed to it to he was just able to survive it. It took him out of his fight and he wasn't able to land as much as I'm sure he thought he would.

Jacobs surviving is more about what ggg didn't do than what Jacobs did. I counted multiple instances upon replays where GGG had made Jacobs miss and had Jacobs wide open ready to be hit but ggg didn't pull the trigger. He normally unloads, and I can't see no real reason why he didn't. It was perplexing.

Whatever conditions led him to not pull the trigger on Jacobs, I don't see them evolving into the Canelo fight.

Its because of Jacobs power. Jacobs had power that nearly rivaled his own. Canelo's power won't be as big of a threat as Stevens, Lemieux and Jacobs but he'll still be defensively sound though

Uhh what? Floyd and Cotto are better fighters than LLLenady without question. Want proof? Those guys have had success in more than one weight division and have fought better competition than ATG Danny Jacobs and WW Kell Brook. Lara is also arguably a better fighter than Triple L.

Are they direct preparation for LLLenady? NO. But each of those fights offer valuable experience and Canelo is a good student...he's looked better just about every fight out tbh

And then....Canelo's last two fights. Against a dude that was stopped as a JUNIOR WELTER. And another guy that....well, it was Junior himself. Tacos and weed. No dedication to boxing whatsoever. Drained down and not even throwing punches.

No, but Amir Khan, Liam Smith, and JCC all presented their own challenges and were fairly lucrative since, you know, boxing is a job and all.

LLLenady got busted up in 5 rounds against WW Kell Brook (moved up 13 pounds since Triple L wouldn't concede 1 pound) while Canelo outboxed and left no doubts after sleeping Khan in 5 rounds (who only moved up 8 pounds).

Not sure I would look at Canelo's competition and conclude, "yep. He can't lose to GGG."

It's your money though.

Well if I used your logic I would probably just watch Conor McGregor probably

[aboutfkntime]

you guys who assume that Jacobs is elite just because he went life-and-death with Golovkin for 12 rounds, are making a big mistake

and no, Golovkin is not getting old

Macklin nearly lasted the distance, and that was years ago

Canelo is better than Jacobs, and he is MUCH better than Macklin..... so he will not take the same punishment that Macklin did, or even close

that fight has 12 round decision written all over it

I wonder if any of the judges are partial to the color red ?
