I just keep envisioning way more work rate by Alvarez. I see Alvarez finding nooks in GGG's guard come fight night. That speed by Alvarez is going to be deceiving for Gennady.
Who Else Feels Alvarez Will Win By KO/TKO?

It would have to be severe accumulation because Canelo isn't that big a puncher.
I still think GGG will KO Canelo though. As good as Canelo's upper body movement is and his underrated defence, i still don't believe he can stand in front of GGG and i don't think he has the legs to get away from him either. Golovkin finds a way to land shots and i don't think Canelo will get away from it, especially not later in the fight.
I rate Canelo highly, but there's a reason they didn't want this fight until they really had nowhere else to go without making it obvious they were ducking. I just think GGG is all wrong for Canelo.
I also disagree about Canelo having a high work rate. He likes to fight at his own pace and be comfortable but GGG rarely stops throwing punches and throwing out the jab. I don't think Canelo able to set his own pace all the time in this one because he will be apprehensive about what's coming back as well.Last edited by TheBigLug; 07-20-2017, 09:26 AM.Comment

The sheer fact that Golovkin took his time with Stevens and Lemieux rest assured this won't be a "closing the ring performance."It would have to be severe accumulation because Canelo isn't that big a puncher.

I never said he would be doing that from the off, but both eventually retreated after tasting the consistent jab and power shots when in front of GGG and then he did start to cut the ring off on them to finish the job.
Canelo isn't a mover and i believe he will suffer the same fate as those fighters eventually but it won't be easy for sure. He's better than them but i just don't see how his style has enough answers for Golovkin.Comment

Nobody had Barrera beating Hamed...I never said he would be doing that from the off, but both eventually retreated after tasting the consistent jab and power shots when in front of GGG and then he did start to cut the ring off on them to finish the job.

Canelo is an adaptive fighter. His defensive footwork wasn't even the same as when he fought Lara, Trout or Cotto. So is that Alvarez changing footwork in game or is it his handlers watching tapes?
I don't buy that he has "no footwork" because if Alvarez moves like Peterson come Sept I can almost guarantee the excuses will be "Alvarez was running" the same narrative used on Floyd, Lara etc...
So the thing is, if Alvarez moves a lot in this fight will he get the credit or be discredited "as a runner?" TBH Im not worried about that. This is the Alvarez Mexican performance he knows has to be the best for his countrymen. This is the war Barrera, Morales, Marquez prerequisites that Nelo will be tested like his previous counterpart warriors. Mexicans can **** man. This fight might literally detail which boxing is superior, Mexican or Kazakh. Both countries have amazing boxing recognition, and in the Olympics the Kazakhs have more recognition.Comment
