Why I Think Canelo Will Lose

[Code Red]

I agree with everyone who says Alvarez has the better resume, better experience, and the better overall skill set. But one factor leads me to favor Golovkin and that's the fact Canelo plays the weight game.

If you were to ask what weight class Alvarez belongs to there is no real answer. He fights at Caneloweight.....I wouldn't be surprised if he holds a catchweight record. He fights Floyd at 152, Chavez Jr at 164, he fought several opponents at agreed limits of 155 and he has never fought at 160!

Meanwhile Golovkin knows nothing but 160, in that regard this is in his wheelhouse he has the advantage. In truth Canelo should of done what he always done and that's force Golovkin down to 158 Caneloweight. Golovkin's age plus a caneloweight may be the edge Alvarez needed.

I think Golovkin needs to do what he always do, it's Alvarez that will have to show some "Sugar Ray" type skills. Can he do that, with those flat, heavy feet, probably not

D- analysis, if Canelo had all those suppose advantages than moving up to his natural weight should make this a walk in the park.

The simple fact is, Golovkin is more skilled and will look to make Canelo look silly when he proceeds to outbox him before stopping him in the late rounds when he's trying to get a break on the ropes.

or better skills.

Alvarez has better upper body movement and a stronger sense of self preservation than Golovkin. Alvarez will move out the way of a punch, Golovkin wont

GGG will move out of the way with his legs.

How do you figure a weight class he has never competed in is his natural weight? Yet we do know that 160 is Golovkin's natural weight, that's got to mean advantage Golovkin.
