      "People that say it was real either want to build up Ali or put down Liston."

        Had GGG targeted Canelo's body while he was on the ropes then all Alvarez had to do was to go up top and counter Golovkin to the head. GGG understood the traps that Canelo was setting for him and averted them.

        Now to your point about Brooks; He is just your typical boxer/puncher. He is not the counter puncher that Caneo Alvarez is.

        That was why GGG was able to bull rush Kell coming forward because he knew that Brooks was not a counter puncher. Kell could only land punches, once he was able to get his off first and when Gennady stopped throwing them.

        Unlike Saul Alvarez, he lacked the ability of ever catching Gennady in an exchange.

            ... in case GGG held back, Canelo held back as well...

            (... Canelo is the cash cow for GGG... this rematch is a cash cow for both... That's my take...)

              Ok...first he let dudes punch him in the face for the sake of a drama show...then he let DJ go the distance just so he could get Nelo in the ring...then once he got Nelo he held back ...what a GOOD BOY that dude GGG is..such a nice guy

              Nelo was wearing Winning boxing gloves...the pillows.... so if anybody was holding back it was Nelo imho

                He would carve Canelo up like a ripe melon.

                There won't be a rematch.

                More boxing fixes.

                He had no reason to hold back when he had him on the ropes like that.

                I don't know what is more embarrassing...this thread or the fact that you had to bump it 3 times to get a response. Dude...let it die.

                  SO now GGG took a payoff not to beat Canelo or seriously hurt him.

                    he didnt want to get caught with that 'punch of the fight' counter off a jab he threw. but to be fair, if he was more accurate he wouldn't have tobworry about counters.

                      Threads like these, Golovkin's comments, his trainers comments, and Loeffler's comments just pushes the fact GGG lost and got outboxed!

                      It's like people never watched a Canelo fight before, he never really likes to lead...he's a counter puncher!!!

                      The scorecard by Byrd, people's emotions running bias cuz they expected a GGG KO, and the excuses from Team GGG and his fans have overshadowed Canelo's brilliance!

                      This is the same guy that was supposed to get killed either cuz of his stamina, him not being able to get GGG's respect, him liking to lay on the ropes and cuz he supposedly had "cement feet"!

                      He proved everyone wrong and he gets disrespected cuz of a judge!

                      You think he wants a draw! Did anyone y'all hear what he said, he obviously wasn't too happy with a draw!

                      Keep making excuses, in time more people will admit Canelo won that fight and that HE was actually robbed of a win!

                      Working=throwing punches/landing the most least effective non-hard shots/ coming forward more/taking more hard punches

                      Thanks guys!
