How Canelo Box GGG w.o JAB?

[DinoCop]

Great question

Canelo doesnt use his jab as often and he doesnt use it to control distance

The snobby sect of the boxing community like to say that ggg can be outboxed by canelo, they say this because they use stereotypes of punchers not being able to box.
Ggg is deceptively fast on the trigger particularly with the jab.

It's sad that our technical boxing friends right here perceive offensive technicians as mere punchers w.o trying to see how? they punch hard and belittle technique-wise minimalism in boxing.
These guys are totally making up anime-like fighting scenarios, countering the counter counter, really?
And they are yet to see that jab is just a term for the lead hand direct punch, there are million stars. Ggg's jab is just like Joe Louis's one. Infact they are really similar fighters, steps, stance, right to the body, jab, finisher right... But they don't call Louis a bum.

Canelo will eat jabs all night long I dont have doubt about it. The things is, that he will also land the uppercut and the overhand right. we will see who is more affected with the punches by the 6th round.

Golovkin dosen't jab like any of those guys. He puts his whole body into it. His jab won't be countered. It's not a lazy jab. Best jab in boxing right now. I f canelo can't get past the jab, game over just like that.

If he puts his whole body into it, that is even worse. The counter will catch him leaning forward and do more damage. I don't expect G to throw the same jab all night though.

Edit: Canelo is faster than G, so he will definitely be able to counter the jab at times. The only question is whether he has the power to bother G with those counters. I do not think he does.

Easier way, GGG aim his jab at canelos right eye making him slip to the left and straight in front of GGG right, corral his head, make him put his head in a place constantly, easier to land when you know where his head will be

This is an interesting idea and sounds like it would be effective!

No, check it again, you don't let your head pass the lead foot bcz it creates imbalance and holes in defense. Head, lead knee, foot in one vectical line.
And my friend you should check it again how he boxed Jacobs and Lemieux and Gabriel primarily with his jab, doing the same thing again and again.
It's the safest punch, conserves the least energy, fastest, most repeatable and he lands it with power.
Canelo body-bagged Chavez all night, couldn't hurt him, imagine if it was Ggg landing on the disowned son of J.C. Chavez.

I understand the concept of a jab. If you think G will jab Canelo like he did Lemieux and Rosado with nothing coming back, I think you will be very surprised. Both of those fighters have a low boxing IQ. Jacobs is a bad example because that was a close (but not controversial imo) fight. I have G winning this fight, but I don't think the jab alone will win it for him like in the Lemieux fight.

Your second argument is irrelevant because GGG is not fighting Chavez Jr. You don't get points for what could have happened, and what you do to common opponents means very little because of stylistic match-ups.

People fail to realize that GGG's jab is hard to consistently counter. He's great at anticipating a right hand follow and will either be just out of distance or will flare his elbow as he jabs to negate the trajectory just enough. If people think Golovkin is ****** enough to continually let Canelo counter his jab then idk what to say

No it's not. He's not staying in 1 place flicking his arm. The whole body is moving. He's not stationary throwing the jab. You'll see Sept. 16.

It is effective, best way to short circuit a boxer who slips well, their reflexes over ride their normal movement and then put themselves in a position to be hit
