Contrary to ****** Logic. GGG is the boxer in this fight not canelo

[KingHippo]

Since when did Canelo become a pressure fighter?

And how do know he can cope with Golovkin's power? Canelo's elite opponents have all been light punchers, usually smaller than him. His chin has never been checked by a hard hitting MW, which Golovkin most certainly is.

Because I've seen him hit a welterweight with his best shots flush without even being able to score a knockdown. Brooke was even egging him on. If it wasn't for his frail frame this fight could've easily went the distance especially with GGG showing signs of fatigue.

And as far as Canelo only having faced light punchers I will dismiss it as simple ignorance. Ever heard of Alfredo Angulo?

Brook was knocked down in the third. Despite the ref no counting it we can all see clearly on the replay that was a knockdown. He hurt Brook fine and chewed him up. We don't actually know how durable Canelo is yet.Watch Golovkin knock out Ishida, completely unconscious, nearly kill Macklin with a body shot. He's power isn't in doubt. We don't know how well Canelo takes one against the middles. If he wins its on not getting hit, not durability. But he fades himself, and goes to the ropes too much. This fight could be a disaster for him.

There was no knock down, that's a classic slip. The guy got right back up and picked things off right where he left em. Was not hurt at all. Only thing Golovkin chewed up was his fragile 147 frame. The guy was even taunting Golovkin in the 5th, no way he would've been able to do that against a guy like Lemieux for instance.

And again, if you a still having doubts about Canelo's durability, I invite you to watch his fight against Angulo. Core solid as a tree trunk. Not to mention Golovkin is not immune to body shots as well. Mark my words, Golovkin is not knocking out Canelo. And he better not try to because he might end up punching himself out in the process.

And about him fighting off the ropes too much, I remember a certain fighter using the very same strategy to beat the hardest puncher of his era and made it out just fine. Ability to fight off the ropes is an advantage against a fighter who's game plan revolves around cornering his opponents.

They are both pretty technical. I'm now thinking that it won't be as action-packed as people are hoping

Yeah I don't see a bloodbath. I never really got that impression from the start. These are two highly skilled guy's. It'll start out pretty technical. Maybe later in the fight when guy's are beginning to gas you'll see them open up a bit more.

Can't wait. I'm bumping this thread on september 16th.

very efficient skillset vs opponents that are catered to make canela look amazing...c'mon... he couldn't stop a cadaver dry chavez, if fonfara stopped chavez then canela shouldve especially with the drainage advantage

the irony of a ggg aplogist talking about "oppnents that are catered to make canelo look amazing"..it isnt lost on me

Both are good technically. GGG has more polish, Canelo has more slickness.

Lol What? Lemieux knocked N'Dam down 4 times in 3 rounds. That's a seven point advantage with only 9 other rounds to make up the difference.

Martin Murray has been on the wrong side of a lot of controversial home town decisions. The guy knocked down and out punched Sergio Martinez.

I said what I said; even with the 4 knockdowns in 3 rounds, an all Montreal crew (nevermind Canadian) was only able to find another 4 rounds to score for him, and even that was pushing it. Put that fight in even an actual 18'x18' ring, and you end up with even fewer rounds for the All-montreal crew to give to the hometown fighter.

i agree..had a argument with some canelista at the barbershop the other day. he was talkin about canelo having all these skills..i turned the tables around asked how would he fair vs jacobs and brook(pre-ggg)..his answer was "oh canelo wouldve stopped jacobs by the 8th""both of brooks eye sockets wouldve been shattered"....no joke..then he said ggg wouldnt dominate cadaver jr like the way canelo did....BUT ggg would beat liam smith by UD...SMH...LOL..thats when i said to myself that i wont argue with a canelista....pointless

I want your malinche ass to be here when Canelo beats GGG. Malinches like yourself need to be muertos.

Lol yeah he only got knocked down 4 times, what a robbery. What are you n'dam's father? Maybe he should try to stay on his feet a whole fight if he wants to win.

They've literally scientifically analyzed how hard Golovkin punches. Saying a welterweight broke his face open before he could be koed, and therefore Golovkin isn't that powerful is a hilariously bad argument.
