Comments Thread For: Canelo: I Have To Be Smart, Elusive, Not Stand in Front of GGG

[TonyGe]

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.

G is very good at manuvering his opponents to the ropes and Canelo has a history of taking rests. G is a stylist nightmare for Canelo.

Some people think canelo is quick on his feet.

[Chollo Vista]

Let me remind people that no one ever expected Mares and Leo Santa Cruz to be able to box like they've done.

Let me remind people that this guy don't know schit about boxing

Canelo's defence and head movement is better than GGG's, but GGG's defence is his jab.

[DinoCop]

Canelo just needs to not get KO'd, Oscar will see the rest.

[Citizen Koba]

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

Mayweather's already great, man. But that's still the most seriously fanboy **** I've read in a while and that's going some around here.

Canelo gonna shock lots of people once again!

No one is talking about how his foot movement looked much better when he fought Chavez and he actually was side stepping and moving laterally quicker than given credit!

Every fight Canelo shows something new and every nuance counts in boxing and I got a feeling he'll show something really subtle that will catch Golovkin by surprise!

Get your popcorn ready, get your popcorn!

Really? His foot movement didn't look better, it was just Chavez Jr has none whatsoever.

[Canelo and GGG]

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

I think that his talking about side steps, turning GGG around and a little steps back when GG will try to attack and not about doing circles LMAO

[champion4ever]

This particular Saul Alvarez/Gennady Golovkin bout has Gennady Golovkin/David Lemieux redux written all over it. Other than the exception of Lemieux's power being much stronger than Ginger's at the same weight class; I can envision the same result as that fight.

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

Canelo UD12

That's a hopeful outlook. I suspect you'll be getting a physics lesson when this fight happens.
