Why is GGG not a big favourite??

[-PBP-]

He's not getting a decision over Canelo in Vegas. So his only chance of winning is knocking out Canelo which is not going to be easy

What makes you say GGG is more talented? Canelo has more layers to his game. I'm not sure why he gets stereotyped as some mexican puncher. He's really not.
To me, this is 50/50 at this point in time.

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.

Just wrote this before I saw your post. Good point.

The timing for me. 18 months ago I wouldn't have picked Canelo, but I can see he is developing nicely and now for me he wins this without too much fuss.

[Kosta]

Can't take body shots and he's never fought anyone even half decent

[Canelo and GGG]

cuse Nelo is tank ,vety skilled too ,i cant wait for this one

Because the people who set the odds think Canelo has a solid chance to win. You are mainly remembered by your last fight. GGG had a bad night against Jacobs although I think he clearly won. But everybody is used to him winning by KO. Canelo looked great slaughtering Chavez. GGG is 35 and Canelo is 26. That is a big advantage for Canelo. I think GGG will win but I'm not sure enough to bet money on him to win. They are my two favorite boxers. I think they will both fight well on put on a great fight.

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

It doesn't need to be close, look at the Mayweather fight

[TOBYLEE1]

Canelo has serious skills and if triple G comes forward he will be falling into Canelo's strength.

Because Vegas odd makers aren't a bunch of fan boys like some here on NSB.
They know it is gonna be a competitive fight.
