Why is GGG not a big favourite??

[adamt]

i know Canelo is a very skilled fighter, but GGG seems more dangerous and talented than Canelo

so why is GGG not a big favourite in this fight?

[Metho_4u]

Because everyone knows he's a hype job.

[Robbie Barrett]

Because Canelo is more skilled than anyone he's fought. Because he didn't look great when he stepped up in quality and the Jacobs fight could have gone either way?

[HeadShots]

because latino gamblers.

[Mammoth]

Too many questions...

Because in case of close fight, they will give the W to Canelo. Of course.

Don't cry...

It's a hard prediction to make on their last couple fights. The Golovkin that fought Brook would have problems with Canelo. The Canelo that fought Beefy would have problems with Golovkin.

Momentum, GGGs is diminishing and Canelo's is rising. You also get the feeling the timing of the fight benefits Canelo more than GGG.

Canelo is more than just "very skilled". He's 10 years younger, he's strong, his stamina is off the carts, his durability so far is unquestionable, his hand speed is much faster and his technique is sublime. Some of the combos that Canelo throws are absolutely gorgeous.

It's a 50/50 fight. Don't be surprised if Canelo is a slight favorite as the fight gets closer.

Don't be surprised if Canelo is favored as the fight gets closer.
