Comments Thread For: Canelo: Experience Against Top Opposition Gives Me Edge Over GGG

[Realizniguhnit]

And you have 0 experience against top opposition at 160lbs...

[LoadedWraps]

100% false.

Experience can make you a better fighter, but it won't give you tools you don't already possess. If doesn't make you faster, stronger, or improve your conditioning, power, or footwork..

It only marginally improves your ring IQ.

Canelo can go on to fight 20 elite fighters over the next year, while GGG does nothing, and GGG still wins.

GGG is a complete fighter, Canelo is a flat footed, low ring IQ puncher with porous defense. No "experience" will change that.

Buildups to fights like this really exposes who knows boxing and who doesn't.

by way of top opposition canola means julio cesar chavez junior liam smith and amir khan

[vitali1999]

Top opposition at welterweight means nothing at middleweight. We'll see con fight night

When I seen gggs fake amatuer record of 350-5 I knew it had to be keith idec writing it,I challenge any gggroupie to PROVE gggs amatuer record in any way shape or form other than bs hearsay,he had at least 8 losses & amatuer record from a country with very few good boxers means very lil in pros.

Canelo had a 42-2 amatuer record before age 15 in Mexico known for tons of great fighters & being boxing crazed. Canelo has 353 rds as a pro to gggs 172 rds & canelos almost decade younger basically. Consider the fact gggs only gone 12 rds once,canelo 9x & canelos amatuer record combined with pro record means hes still fought almost as many rds in his lifetime as ggg. And ggg was fighting worse than bums til age 24 didn't win gold despite having multiple tries in Olympics while normally fighters go pro & get 1 chance at gold.

Oh.... so now GGG's amatuer record is fake??? Lemme guess, he never went to the Olympics either, nor has he knocked out like 90% of his opponents as a pro? Face it, he's gonna tax that ass like a savage

[Robi13]

Agree with canelo here, add the part that he has experience fighting in big events in Vegas... ggg has none. All this will play a role, evidence is there when ggg made his grand arrival, he looked nervous

Show me 1 shred of proof his amateur record isnt fake.

Canelo has experience, but not experience of fighting middleweights with middleweight chins and real middleweight power. I think he's going to have trouble absorbing Golovkins power, the type of power that he has no experience of at all.

Cotto is the closest thing to a MW Canelo has fought.

Yeah, and it could be argued that he was a blown up welter himself. It's a big question mark against Canelo in this fight. That thick neck might not be enough to help him.

Canelo can't hold the center of the ring regardless the opponent.

He admitted getting tired against Chavez Jr.
