    I am a huge fight of both fighters and to me GGG looks a little soft compared to other fights. Weighed 5 more pounds at the 30 day weigh in than he did against Jacobs.

    Canelo looks in shape, focused & hungry & is finally fighting at his natural weight

      Name 5 he definitely won against, who were under the age of 35 and were used to 154.
      Yes, he has, by a lot. Jacobs is by far the best opponent he has fought and that guy is not a top 20 guy. Lara would be better than any opponent GGG has fought and that's like the 5th or 6th best fighter Canelo has been in with. Quality matters, it is a huge stretch to say GGG has fought more than two B level fighters. He's fought zero A level fighters.

      That's the intrigue of this fight. If GGG had been smashing the same fighters say that Ward had smashed at 168 you'd have a point, but he's been dominating weak weak opposition. But here's the thing also, GGG's skill is what is impressive, it shows through even against bums, he's a great boxer.Canelo has been in deeper waters than GG before, we know that, will that be enough to overcome GGG's skill and size? We'll see. Canelo also has the youth and hand speed advantages.

Lara is a legendary runner and Mosley was totally washed up when Canelo fought him. I love Canelo and think he is great but you are completely carried away making him even better than he is while not giving GGG any credit at all. GGG would knock out anybody Canelo ever beat. No way in hell Cotto goes the full 12 rounds with GGG. You are the one who needs to wake up. GGG is the betting favorite, not Canelo.
        Being a world champion in this era of fragmented titles doesn't make you A-level. A-level should be reserved for the elite. Herbie Hide & John Ruiz held word titles and I wouldn't call them A-level.

          What challenges did GGG ever duck?
          ANDRE WARD! And for the record, if g string would have been willing to fight Lara and win, Lara would become g strings second best opponent by default.

            0.

            Canelo is unproven vs real middleweights. His chin is also questionable at 160.
            How many quality middle weights has g string fought? One so far. How'd he do? He sc****d by winning a close decision. So g strings relatively unproven as well.

            Why would Canelo's chin be questionable at 160?

              We've been down this road before, but for the record, take Jacobs out of the mix and the rest of g string opponents are hot garbage. Absolutely nothing special about them before or after g string fought them.

                If Ward and Lara are all you've got, you really need to give up on the "GGG is ducking challenges" crap and find a new line of attack.

                  Can't see anything but a competitive fight going the distance with Golovkin the more active aggressor and canelo landing the cleaner shots on the counter punching and Oscar sat ringside in fishnets and high heels crying into a phone disconnected from the wall saying " I hate Floyd mum I hate him I hate him!"

                      So you think it's cool to sit up here and call a man (any fighter) that gets in the ring out of their name like that? I get you don't like him but you seriously think it's cute, funny, manly of you to sit up here calling this man G-String? How do you earn your living son? Do you take your life and put it on the line in a ring? No, right? So why would you call a warrior out of his name like that? That's some chick shh, cut that fckery out my man. It makes you look like a casual and even worse it shows hoe tendencies.
