    People rolled their eyes when Willie Monroe Jr. told them that Andre Ward would stop Sergey Kovalev in their rematch last month. Ward indeed defeated Kovalev by


    Lots of other boxers are taking Canelo as well.

    Try going back and studing canelo's fights. You know Canelo started at 140? You do also know that the only true fight that was brought up was khan.
    He had 2 fights at 155 when he was 154. Wow 1lb must have really made him a killer but there was no title involved and those fighters weighed the same. I love hearing all the excuses.
    Its going to be a great fight regardless!
    One ? For you is what is your excuse going to be if Canelo wins tonight? Kind of like Tarver asking Roy whats your excuse to night then knocks him out. Lol.
    And before you go saying Canelo this and that. I dont want to hear a excuse from either side. GGG is in his biggest fight to date. He is not out of prime. He may be aging but he didnt turn pro till I believe he was 26! And he does not have a lot of wear and tear as most his fights ended early.
    On Canelo side of this I dont want to hear he was to small if he loses in anyway.
    I like both fights the same and truly cant give one a advantage over the other. Im just ready is what i do know
    Stop it, Canelo turned pro at 15. All his fight that are pro as an adult have been 154 up. GGG was a WW at 19.

    As for Canelo weight manipulation games, you're simply uninformed bud.

    He also had Angulo (missed weight and have to raise it and pay Angulo), Kirkland, Lara, Cotto, and Khan at 155. He has way more CW fights than that. The one fight he made 154 since 2013 he out of the blue refused VADA testing.

    Canelo has few title wins from a guy in the weight class he was campaigning at.

    Hatton, Cotto, even Smith. The one fight Canelo was to fight a guy who may have size on him, he drained him. Why drain Chavez JR in 2017.

        Yea, yea, how I lost to GGG/Canelo, that's how GGG/Canelo will lose. Basically that's how this went. This was useless unless the guys have fought both men.

            New commenter here... And I have noticed most boxers when asked are picking Alvarez. Most of Golovkin opponents (Jacobs, most everyone here) and some of those from the area of his native country are picking GGG, but those without a vested interest (Anthony Joshua, Bernard Hopkins, Lennox Lewis, and Tyson to name a few) are lining up behind Canelo. Most Boxing writers and commentators are picking GGG.

            No idea what that means, but it is interesting.

                Clickbait. I wish the headline would have warned me that the article only interviewed British fighters. I wouldn't have even bothered looking.

                  At Friday's official weigh in, Alvarez was 155 pounds Angulo, taking advantage of the heavier limit, was 154½ pounds.

                  WOW your crying over 1/2 lb???

                  "All his fight that are pro as an adult been 154 up"

                  That's a flat out lie and you know it... What age are you calling an adult?? 18 if that's case your lying. Or 21??

                  Saul Alvarez v Ricardo Cano

                  Friday 31, August 2007

                  Welterweight
                  Contest, 12 Rounds
                  Saul Alvarez
                  Ricardo Cano


                  He moved up to 154 in 2010. Which out him at 20.

                    For those interested, the WBVA forum (where the posters are angels and annoying trolls are banned, and the boxing-fan's life is full of fun in that fairy, contrary land.....props if you can identify that song) has 63% for Golovkin and the rest Canelo (out of 97, no draw votes).
