Comments Thread For: Canelo: Golovkin's Not The Monster That Everybody Talked About

[Idunnoshet]

I understand your logic here but it's not a great comparison. Lara out landed Canelo despite being on the move and limited Canelo to a 23% connect rate. Canelo moved vs ggg but threw and landed less punches while ggg landed at a percentage of over 30% . The movement isn't the issue, it's whether you're landing punches while moving and whether your movement is effective defensively. That wasn't the case for canelo last night.

And the connect percentage was gotten from Compu-box ? Not a big fan of their punch stats so I stay completely away from them . Watching both fights u Can say Lara ran while I think Canelo used a little more movement than we're used to seeing from him .

Neither are you, Canelo. You are just bully for welterweights like Khan. At 160 you have no future.

Jacobs/Canelo proved it

Check my pre-fight prediction . Said it before the fight and KNEW I'd say it After ... GGG Ain't No Monster !!!

yep, exposed but 99 percent of the media had him winning against a fighter who many have right near the top of the pound for pound list, some even as number 1. God damn it, if only golovkin wasnt a hypejob!!!

Golovkin is fighting a better class of fighter these days and he is not intimidating them or knocking them out in a few rounds. There is no disgrace it that. It happened to Ali, Foreman, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones and the other all-time greats. That is part and parcel of the game of boxing. Some folks are so invested in a particular boxer, that they attribute superhuman qualities to them. That is misguided and a bit sad.

So we're all just going to ignore the enormous amount of punches GGG missed? Yes he applied pressure but he missed sooooomany shots. Too many to have a clear victory. This fight was a draw.

GGG worked you over fool. Your face was all marked up and you were running for most of the fight. Your best shots didn't even faze GGG one bit, he just laughed.

i thought canelo has cement feet lol.. he was boxing beautiful on his toes picking off ggg with combos. and his upper body movement was impressive once again. he dodged so many right hand bombs by inches. canelo studied the beating floyd gave him and took notes hes a good student he looked like floyd at times. except with more power.

ggg's chin needs to be examined nothing hurts this mofo at all. canelo was landing flush on the chin with no impact. those neck exercises ggg does turned his neck into a tree trunk.

and of course lampley was calling shots ggg missed as landed punches. those compubox numbers were nonsense.

now ggg is due for two rematches.. vs danny and ggg. the both times he has stepped up competition in his career ends in controversy.

Some of us talked about his level of competition before and we're labeled as haters. Now you're telling us we shouldn't judge him because he isn't performing well against better fighters? Well damn! Is there anything we can criticize him for or should we just agree with everything his fans say about him.
