When GGG makes canelo look as limited like lemieux would he be one of the greatest?

[BoxingIsGreat]

Lol... One of the greatest of what?

Canelo is a good fighter but NOT great himself. If he beats Canelo, it'd be the first "very good" fighter he's beaten, nothing great. He'll need to keep fighting that caliber of opponents for at least a few years, and consistently, in order for the word "great" and Golovkin to be mentioned together in the same sentence.

Beating one very good fighter doesn't make you great. So, no, not at all.

Do you consider Canelo GREAT?

[-MEGA-]

Rubio already proved how limited Lemieux was before Golovkin. Canelo is flawed but he's far from being limited in the same aspect as Lemieux. Both fighters are going to find success because both of their styles match up perfectly.

At the end of the day it'll come down to how much impact Canelo's power will have on GGG. Not in the sense that he'll have to visibly hurt or knock him down, but at the very least making him respect his punches.

It would be a good win. Honestly i would've loved if he turned pro 15 years ago. So him beating Canelo could be a last hurrah. He looks odd to me whenever i see him fight. I just wonder if he looks the way he looks because the opposition has been better lately or has he been getting older.

Canelo is gonna walk right through GGG and he's gonna do it with ease. This fight won't even be competitive.

who do you consider great? I guarantee you, all of the guys you consider great weren't beating opponents the level of canelo for several years.

Let me guess, a name I see often: Sugar ray leonard.

Who did Sugar Ray Leonard ever beat? Hagler and Hearns, that's it. Duran? Duran weighed 150 pounds so he doesn't really count.

SRL lost to a guy who 99% of fans don't even know the name: Terry Norris.

take them rose tinted glasses off bro.

Canelo isn't going to be like Lemieux or Brook. You guys are weird.

[DuckAdonis]

But will people give Canelo the same amount of praise as Goloki ??

[Floyd is TBE]

Floyd's best win is young limited canelo. GGG will be facing a prime canelo. Once he beats canelo easily the way he did to david, he will be considered one of the greats of our era.

Nope. Canelo is the exact same fighter he was the day he fought Floyd. I've heard it said often that Canelo was too green then and that's much better now, but his fans sure do struggle to point to any significant improvements he's made.

Nope not at all, Im a canelo fan and will give ggg 100% credit if he wins but canelo has this in the bag and everyone will make up excuses when he beats ggg
