Mexican superstar Saul Canelo' Alvarez believes there is likely to be a knockout when he challenges Kazakhstan legend Gennady Golovkin on September 16 for three versions of the world middleweight title in Las Vegas. Their bout is regarded as boxing's biggest world title fight since Floyd Mayweather Jr fought Manny Pacquiao in 2014.

Canelo will spend too much time in the ropes and fight too much in spurts. He doesnt have the stamina to stay away from GGG....

I think he'll get stopped around the 6th or so... He'll definitely go out on his shield though

that sounds like mayweather's style that's not attractive doe !!!

Wat? Canelo might have slow feet, but his footwork is textbook. I can't recall him taking a bad step ever.

His lack of cutting the ring off, moves straight back a lot. And slow feet, he gets trapped in the ropes by almost every fighter he fights.

Canelo's handlers really have done a superb job up to this point.

and Canelo knows whats up, so they will have a great gameplan for Golovkin

they will work on counters for his somewhat predictable attack, and know which combinations will be the most effective

more and more confident about Canelo's chances in that fight

I think that Golovkin likely HAS to stop Canelo in order to win

can't see it

Canelo is too good..... he is too well-prepared, and too skilled

he could make Mayweather look GREAT in this fight

Yessir! You hit the nail on the head with all points.

No way man. That's like Verne Troyer planning on dunking a basketball. Canelo, you don't have the quickness and agility required to make it that kind of fight. You're going to get walked down and grounded out if you don't make this a firefight. Land those straighter, faster combinations, put everything you've got on them and hope you can get him before he gets you.

Yup, he's going to have a problem.

Canelo has to do his BEST Mayweather impression to win. He could win if GGG shows his age. If this fight were 5 years ago. Id of easily picked GGG. Now im not so sure. I lean towards the naturally bigger man.

Lol canelo trying to be like mayweather. Canelo trying to outbox the silver medalist. FACEPALM.

he does not need to fight like Danny Jacobs - or Mayweather - to beat Golovkin

Canelo is likely talking about subtle movements/angles

that team are real smart, and they know their fighter inside out

they will change nothing, because they don't need to..... Canelo has already displayed the skills that he will need to win that fight

they need to use the right approach, and the right tactics

Golovkin is not fast (I did not call Golovkin slooooow, like Tim Bradley did when he watched GGG from ringside)..... and Canelo has excellent defence, excellent timing, and he is an excellent counter-puncher

even something as simple as that little step back that Kovalev took whenever Hopkins looked to initiate..... that is boxing101 and bread and butter stuff for Canelo..... he will be right in that fight using angles and giving Golovkin plenty to think about

it is not gonna be like you guys think, especially if Canelo uses the right approach

Golovkin is a slow starter, and he is hesitant and non-committal against skilled opponents, especially early..... imho Canelo should take it to Golovkin right from the first bell..... NOT go for broke, or anything like that..... try to catch those 35yo legs cold and make him respect you early, there is plenty of time to settle./recover if it doesn't play out..... turn that fight into a boxing match, just like Mayweather did with Mosley

Canelo will have no problem getting Golovkin's respect imho..... that fight will be a boxing match

Canelo will not absorb as much punishment as say, Martin Murray did..... who nearly went the distance..... it will be similar to the Jacobs fight in that respect..... and let's see how Golovkin's 35yo legs look down the stretch after eating those nasty body-shots all night

skills pay the bills
