Oh, I see...yeah, all of those C level fighters really mean something. It's not about how hard they hit anyway, don't you know this sport at all? Bet you didn't think ward would make kovalev do the Russian shuffle either huh?Comment

Nobody thought Ward would stop Kkkovalev and you didn't either.
Canelo doesn't have a gas tank and he does gas after 5-6 rounds.
Unless he develops some magical feet be is getting ****ed up.Comment

As Hitking and myself said the other day - and more credit to him - Canelo closes range from mid to inside very quickly. He has great 1-2 footwork but he isn't effective at closing the ring - 3-4-5 footwork - so he doesn't tend to chase, or when he does he looks plodding.The problem I have with the prediction is although Monroe had some success it didn't help him win the fight. If you stand in Golovkin's range (mid-or close) he will hurt. I still turn to the Jacobs fight since he had the most success. He stayed slightly outside Golovkin's punching range and used his quick footwork to get in and out. Whenever he lingered too long Golovkin caught him with something. He was also unpredictable with his attack and was always in position to counter. Canelo is good at close range but Golovkin can be effective also. Golovkin could box him like he did Lemieux if he chooses. I don't think Canelo's footwork is quick enough to close the distance if Golovkin stays at range.
I think this is what makes people think he has poor footwork. He is slow at chasing and closing distance on the Laras of boxing. But when he needs to step quickly to the side to make room for a body punch (Liam Smith) he is very very quick.Comment

I wanted to defend Jr cuz he's a fav of mine, but all I could come up with was "Jr is a top class heavy bag. Only AJ can KO him!" but then I remembered he's already been knocked out.

Huh? Golovkin's body punching is some of the best in the world. His targetting is immaculate. Great liver shots.Comment
