Comments Thread For: Willie Monroe Predicts Canelo Will Stop Golovkin in '9 or 10'

[Robi13]

This is good, because nearly everyone in boxing sees this as a competitive fight. Because if Golovkin wins by stoppage, as I'm sure he will, we're gonna hear how Canelo was too small, no footwork no gas tank ect. Not as of this moment, apparently.

You sure golovkin wins by stoppage enough to bet your acct? If you don't bet it, than you aren't that sure are ya?

Alvarez isn't an inside fighter. In fact there is not one fight where he fought on the inside. Even against mayweather who he outweighed by 20 lbs he did not take the fight to the inside. Alvarez is a midrange fighter not an INSIDE FIGHTER.

Cotto didn't engage.. ggg only knows to go forward... cotto a legend, hall of famer, can box, punch, brawl, can do it all... ggg? Not so much

Naw he won't engage much if you have power. See stevens lemieux fights. He'll be on the outside with the jab. Canelo with his slow feet will be chasing ggg and getting hit with jabs.

Chasing GGG... You are saying Golovkin fights on the back foot or.....?

[Robi13]

I was going to say the same thing

These clowns claim ggg by ko or ggg wins but when you bet them, 1 of 3 things happen. 1 they don't respond, 2 they ignore the bet and answer some one else's post, or 3 they say that my acct doesn't mean anything to them that they don't have to bet it. The latter is true, but it's not about wether the act means anything because obviously it don't mean sh.it... it's about having the balls to back up what you are saying and put up or shut up. They usually shut up... lol lames

Ggg doesn't fight going backwards so how is Canelo gonna be chasing him?

I disagree with you. Ggg can not outbox Canelo in any way at all. Lemieux is a power puncher, Canelo is a boxer puncher who is a natural counter puncher and has the faster hands. Ggg is to slow to stand and trade with Canelo, by the time ggg tries to punch he would get hit by a combo of some sort. Ggg best weapon is his jab, but using the jab like he did with Lemieux on canelo will only allow Canelo to get the distance and timing and thus counter it all night. Ggg has to be creative not predictable because of the speed defecit. Canelo has shown he is able to outbox a faster guy (khan) so what you think he will do against a slower guy? Feet? When you are throwing punches your feet are NOT moving. Ggg is no Ali with his feet. He cuts the ring well but that doesn't mean he has good feet. When they are both within range, Canelo will have the advantage in speed and ggg in power, in my opinion. How well can Canelo take the shots if/when ggg connects? How well can Canelo use his hand speed to make ggg reset? Will ggg be willing to take a shot to give one? A lot of questions lots of scenarios, I replayed these over my head many times I see Canelo winning Ud...

Lol GGG is the boxer in this fight not canelo. Canelo dosen't outbox anyone. GGG has shown he can use his jab on the outside and has much quicker feet. Canelo will have to get on the inside and take it to ggg if he wants to win this fight. I'm bumping your post on september 16th with a big laugh.

Remember when ANYONE said Ward would stop Kov, they got slammed on this very site. But Kov is very good at range, so Ward got in close and made it very uncomfortable. If ggg comes forward Canelo will counter him, and at fight time, canelo will probably come in heavier than GGG so his shots will not hurt, as much. Canelo has felt GGG's power before in sparring seesions, GGG has felt Canelo's power at the weight they will be fighting at, and because GGG has been fighting no-hopers i.e. less competition, boxing karma will catch up to him

Ward is an inside fighter. Canelo is not.

[satiev1]

because cotto is better skilled... His fundamentals are more solid.

lolllllllllllllllll

I agree Jacobs was too respectful at times but at the same so was Golovkin. I don't think he will be against Canelo. I think Golovkin can stay at a distance and box but I don't know if can win a decision against Canelo with that strategy. I'll be curious to see which one will the aggressor. If it's Golovkin it will give Canelo a lot of opportunities to counter. I seriously doubt either fighter will be willing to fight at close range for long periods. I'm not as confident as some people on either fighter having a clear path to victory.

Agree. Canelo will get some shots in and we have to see their effect on Golovkin. If Golovkin senses Canelo can't hurt him, it will be business as usual for Golovkin. If Golovkin feels vulnerable he will outbox Canelo imo from a distance as you say. Deep down I think anyone who has watched these fighters know what will happen once Golovkin's chin and body hold up to Canelo. It should be interesting. Bottom line the cards are in Canelo's favor as he is young and full of income generating potential. Golovkin has to make a statement and beat him convincingly otherwise Canelo will get the decision.
