Comments Thread For: Sanchez: GGG Will Do What Mayweather Couldn't, Dominate Canelo

[Ake-Dawg]

Maidana in the 2nd fight gave up because he's was fighting Mayweather AND Floyd Bayless Jr. At the same time

So he gave up because he had to box and fight rather than wrestle rabbit punch and head butt? He didn't wanna let his hands go in the center of the ring.

He gave up because every time he hit Floyd to cleanly Bayless step in and broke it up. And then only was warning Maidana when Floyd was putting him in headlocks.

If I remember right, Canelo was probably Mayweather's easiest fight in the past 15 years. Completely outclassed Canelo, regardless of what the one judge saw in the ring (draw).

Seriously.. Robert Guerrero did better against Mayweather than Canelo did.

You must have missed the Pacquiao and Berto fights. :/... or Baldomir...or Hatton who got stopped. Or Marquez. How do you forget? Canelo lost damn clear and still didnt do as bad as most. Just goes to show how good Floyd's been

So you're saying that he could only hit Mayweather clean from the clinch...otherwise there is no need to break them up. That essentially is my point. Gotta be able to do more than hold and hit.

floyd schooled him in a boxing match but he didnt dominate canelo.

You can dominate an opponent without battering them, but I suppose it comes down to how we all view fights.

I am a big Canelo fan and was rooting for him all the way in that fight but he got schooled for 12 rounds

Canelos biggest fights were probably Mayweather, Cotto, Lara and Trout. Chavez was a big event and a washed up Mosley was a big name at the time.
Of those fights Canelo could stop none of them and he was only able to drop one of them once. I thought he lost to Lara and there wasn’t much in the Trout and Cotto fights. Canelos most dramatic KO wins have come against Khan and Kirkland who are guys that have already been blown away in the 1st round in previous fights. A weight drained Chavez who had not long been knocked out by Fonfara was there for the taking but Canelo didn’t have the belief in his own power to try and get him out of there so it would be a surprise if he could drop someone who hasn’t been hurt in 400 fights amateur and pro.

Furthermore and perhaps more worryingly for Canelo fans he showed an inability to change tactics and adjust in those fights. He did pretty much the same in round 1 as he was doing in round 12. You could throw a similar criticism at Triple G who didn’t change his tactics much over the 12 with Jacobs but that was one fight. He did show a different side to Lemieux so if relentless pressure doesn’t work , he can do something else. Can Canelo? If his counterpunching isn’t working vs Triple G I cant imagine Canelo getting on his bike or doing anything dramatically different. If he starts as a stationary target he will stay that way.

Man Sanchez, shut the **** up.

STFU Sanchez!

Sanchez is just trying to sell the fight! GGG comes in as slight favor, only issue is AGE.. hopefully he didn't get old overnight.

As far as "Foney" Mayweather "dominating Canelo? i say 9-3 is technically "domination" on most Floyd fans. We normal fans just saw it as yet another glorified sparring match.
