That's why they fight. On paper everyone has a favorite. Even the best at predicting fights are wrong a lot of times.

Did anyone expect Ward to TKO Kovalov???

Or Srisaket to KO Chocolatitio???

Yep, you are right. It is the unexpected that makes boxing and sports in general interesting. I think Canelo v GGG will deliver a few surprises. We shall see.

It's obvious that they waited 3 years so GGG could get older. That's a fact but has he declined or looked bad on purpose? I think he stepped up in class and his flaws were more evident. It's going to be a great fight and I'm going with GGG by brutal ko but I wouldn't be surprised if canelo pulled it off.

Canelo Rejects Claims He Made GGG Fight After Signs of Decline

Team Bullshht could have taken that fight TWICE

so it is probably more accurate to say that after showing vulnerabilities against Brook/Jacobs, they decided to cash out now considering their only other options were Jacobs II Saunders and Charlo.....

and Oscar would have ****d them at the table had Golovkin shown poor numbers for his 3rd consecutive fight while Canelo's stock continued to grow

far more accurate to say that the time now appears to be about right for BOTH fighters

Golovkin actually got off easy..... because when Mr "anyone from 154-168" totally refused to negotiate on weight with a SUPERSTAR who had never weighed more than 155, he consigned himself to wait until Canelo was a real middleweight..... and the fat red kid could easily have taken a couple of tuneups against genuine middleweights before facing Golovkin (Saunders, for the WBO strap)

Canelo could have waited, and put more miles on those 36yo legs..... but Golovkin got off easy, because Canelo is positive that he can handle him now

we will see
