Why do people act like Canelo hit harder than super heavyweights?

[bigdunny1]

WTF literally nobody says he hits harder then a super heavyweight! But this nonsense to pretend he is some featherfisted fighter when he's got a 70% Knockout ratio and world class fighters are getting on their bikes running from him to avoid getting knocked out or going into survival mode refusing to throw punches because they eye is swollen and leaking from nose by the 3rd so they refuse to throw punches to avoid getting dropped from a counter (Chavez). You don't fight like that if a guy has no pop and can't hurt you.

Couldnt KO Matthew Hatton despite dominating him for 12 rounds. Took a while to KO Ryan Rhodes, never looked like hurting an old past his best cotto. I dont see him stopping or KO'ing GGG especially when Jacobs (a bigger puncher) couldnt.

laughing at harping on Matthew Hatton, Jose Cotto, ect Canelo was teenager you talking about fights a lifetime ago for Canelo who is only 26 and skipped amateurs so he learned on the job I consider every fight 5 years or more ago as Canelo's unofficial amateur career. Because that's what most of the top boxing prospects were doing at that age fighting other kids with headgear on learning their craft growing into their body. Didn't idiots learn after hyping up the Jose Cotto fight and saying of course the bigger stronger more skilled world class brother Miguel will beat Canelo. How did that turn out? Oh yeah Canelo easily beat Miguel the only Cotto worth a damn proving canelo is a million times better then he was when he fought Jose or Matthew Hatton. Please don't bring up fights before Canelo was old enough to legally drink as evidence for fights today. This is like saying Lebron ain't shyt and then citing games he played at St. Mary's High school as teenager.

he landed cleanly on chavez for 36 minutes and couldnt knock him down?

Yeah and George Foreman couldn't drop Ali whereas Frazier nearly broke his neck. Triangle theories have never worked and never will.

If canelo knocks out ggg it will be to the body. Ggg is iron chinned and canelo isnt relentless like ggg....

Golovkin clearly harder puncher and is more relentless. Canelo has thudding strong power

If i had to guess the likelihood of each outcome at this point ,disregarding the draw, without having watched any previous fights i would say :

Ggg decision 40%
Canelo decision 30%
Ggg ko 25%
Canelo ko 5%

[Canelo and GGG]

It is abit mystifying why some people have turned Canelo into the kind of puncher who would be expected to knock out a good fighter with a good chin, a division up from where he's been campaigning. I mean, he's a solid puncher, but he couldn't get rid of natural welters Cotto, Mosley or Floyd. He couldn't get rid of decent light middles Trout and Lara. He couldn't get rid of a stationary weight drained middle who was brutally stopped not long before, despite having nothing coming back at him. Why should he get rid of a fighter who has more power to deter him and has never been stopped or floored in any fight? Makes no logical sense.

Lara and Trout or so decent that they were ranked 1# and 2# in LMW

If Canelo knocks out GGG it will be because of his timing or GGG get's desperate late and is in a compromised position or gasses out. But idiots saying he can't knock GGG out? What were the odds of ward knocking out Kovalev? Ward had just 3 KO's in the last 8 years. A low career KO ratio but had more then enough pop to hurt Kovalev. Canelo won't go into the fight looking for a KO because he's the more skilled man but if the opportunity comes from a body shot or because GGG is way down in the fight and has to take risks that leaves him vulnerable that's how a KO can come. Ward couldn't KO a chinny Miranda who had already been KO'd multiple times before and since. Going based on that it would of been IMPOSSIBLE for him to KO the bigger Dawson and Kovalev right? SMH

[Larry the boss]

It is not always about pure power man..its accuracy and timing..and also accumulation

[-Kev-]

Canelo has some really good body punching and uppercuts. It could happen, Ward is not a puncher bur he destroyed a seemingly indestructible Kovalev.

That's not my prediction though, Canelo takes it by decision.

[GhostofDempsey]

Canelo brutally KO'd Kirkland, and he took the best punches of Cotto, who granted was about 15-20 pounds lighter in that fight, but Canelo walked right through Cotto's best punches. On the other hand, he couldn't finish a weight drained 164 LB. Chavez Jr. who was ripe for the taking. This is why the fight between Canelo/GGG is so compelling, it is very difficult to call a winner on this one. It is a 50/50 fight.

Lara and Trout or so decent that they were ranked 1# and 2# in LMW

Trout wasn't a great champion at 154 and Lara is a decent fighter, but were not talking Don Curry or Mike McCallum. And either Charlo or Andrade are probably better too. So again, he didn't stop either, among the other people I mentioned, no reason to think he KOs an unbeaten, never stopped never dropped middle. Comprehendi?
