@ Bernard Hopkins:

Great job Champ, great assessment, and your doing a magnificent job promoting this Mega Event, and a special thanks for finally getting GGG to sign the contract to fight CANELO , cause lord knows the ol' Khazak gold spoon fed Diva tried every trick in the book to avoid fighting CANELO.

A year ago , I used to think CANELO would beat Golovkin from 154-160 pounds , but now things have changed for me, now I believe CANELO can beat Golovkin anywhere from 154-164.5 pounds.

CANELO will put on a Master-Class of boxing come September 16, 2017 , similar to the performances CANELO put on against HOF boxer Miguel Cotto & James Kirkland where CANELO completely shut down both offensive powerhouses , limiting them to land only 21% of their total punches.

Not sure if the bolded is sarcasm or idiocy!

What adjustments has Canelo ever made in a fight? He had no plan B,C or D for Mayweather or Lara. He has never made adjustments in a fight and hasn't had to recently because of the weak opposition he's faced. Lets be honest, Canelo has never looked great against top opposition like Floyd, Lara, Trout and Cotto. It's easy to look great against the weakest 154 champ, a WW and a drained Chavez. Throw in old and inactive fighters he's faced and he looks like a beast.

??? I thought he looked good against everyone but Floyd??? Trout didn't want to engage and had no HEART! Knew the score and decided play it safe. He got Bambi-legged and dropped. Came up with a bloody mouth. He needed a KO to win and didn't even try. WTF was Canelo suppose to do??? He didn't need to do sht to win. BOTH knew the score. I GUARANTEE you if Canelo was down he wouldn't of just kept trying to run on 4th and 30. He would of threw hail marys to win.

Cotto listened to his corner PERFECTLY and had a VERY solid plan. Go fkn watch the fight again. Roach said STAY in the MIDDLE ring at ALL times and BOX. DON'T stand still or engage.

Lara *** him!!! Boo'd and STUNK the place up with his dancing with the stars BS...

When has GGG came up with a plan "B"??? And the 1st REAL opponent he fights and it's a controversial decision.

[Shadoww702]

Hopkins, a lot of people are picking Golovkin to win because of his punching power. Hopkins expects Golovkin to slowly fall apart once he realizes that he's not capable of knocking Canelo out.

I can see this fight a lot like Kovalov/Ward I. GGG turns into a headhunter the entire fight after catching Canelo good early and then getting out boxed later because he try's to reenact that 1 good round to finish Canelo off. And then POOF decision time... And NEW MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD CANELO "SAUL" ALVAREZ...

Hopkins trying to fight vicariously through Canella using the strategy he would have and he's dying for ggg not to break his record

[bronx7]

Hopkins Canella way different body types and styles

You have to take Hopkins word for what it is especially since he has a vested interesting in backing Canelo. I don't see Canelo stalking Golovin. If anything it would be the other way around. I don't know who is faster but if Canelo has a speed advantage it might help him with his flat footedness. Canelo's speed and footwork was exposed when he was unable to catch Mayweather. He has to try to out quick Golovkin. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

You don't know who is faster out of ggg and Canelo??? Lmao

You don't know who is faster out of ggg and Canelo??? Lmao

They both have pretty basic speed but why don't you enlighten me.
