Canelo is NOT smaller, GGG is NOT hype.

[QUOTE=Curt Henning;17855604]Because most put him in the top 3 p4p and he doesnt have anything on the resume to back that up. Hes clearly the best MW in the world but the best MW in the world is about to go into his career "defining" fight against a guy with no wins against MWs.

Add in the fact that Miguel Cotto blasted out a top 10 MW easily and it goes to show you how weak that division really is. Cotto has no business in with MWs. Cotto is a prime career WW who couldnt cut weight at the end of his career. Any decent fighter, who is a real MW, should be able to take him out.[/QUOTE
I certainly don't consider this a career defining fight for G. I expect him to stop Canelo in the seventh round. I'm glad he's getting the fight because it's a good payday and this thing has been brewing for a long time.

So you dont even think this is a career defining fight for Golovkin and you consider yourself a Golovkin fan? Well thats different...I can appreciate your opinion here......but ive got to ask...so what the hell is the point of this fight then? I would assume you dont think any of this other fights were really career defining either then? Is that safe to assume?

So this dude is 35 and has no career defining fights?

You say its a good payday and its been brewing but dont consider it career defining and a good fight since you think GGG will easily beat Canelo? So what does that say about this fight? Its been brewing for a long time + what you said = this fight has been crammed down out throats by the media even though its not a great fight...IMO

Damn Redd haven't seen you a minute. good points.

Yea, I'm actually still on here a couple times a day but this placed has ****** in the last two weeks. Hardly any threads I feel like participating in so I just shake my head and move on.

Interesting point about Garcia. I never thought about it that way but that's a really clever perspective.

I'm not being clear. As far as the media etc. goes yeah it's career defining. In terms of a challenge I don't think so. I think Jacobs will turn out to be the toughest fight he will of had. The point of the fight is it's lucrative and G wants the recognition from the media. That's my own personal opinion. I think he's been building his legacy a little bit at a time. He's defeated his opponents in a fashion that a dominant champion should. So to me at least he's done all he can do in the Middleweight division except unify. He's going to lose eventually he's not getting any younger but I don't think Canelo is the guy to beat him. If he unifies the titles I would consider that his defining fight. As far as Golovkins resume goes it's extremely impressive. You have to factor in his extensive amature career plus his KO percentage. However the resumes of the two guys don't throw punches in the ring. Whether one guy has a better resume is subjective. At this point in their careers it's not a factor.

That's cool he disagrees with me. He has the right to be wrong.
