You would have never thought ggg was a gold medalist with 350 fights

His skill looked just plain bad and caveman like very ugly combinations and was looking clumsy at times.

Yet Canelo the guy with the short amateur background looked razor sharp text book combinations and beautiful upper body movement.

[GGG Gloveking]

You mean silver medalist

[kidbazooka]

You mean silver medalist

Yea silver

[HeadShots]

that's a lot of mileage.


kostya tszyu had a long amateur career too and he retired right around GGG's age. and he had 100 less amateur fights than GGG.

the soviets wasted their primes in the amateurs.

It's obvious you're one of those fanboys who hate ggg . he outboxed canelo was blocking most canelos shots and was murdering him with the jab, keep crying tho

Well people have to understand the amateurs are a completely different game than the pros. If anything, it helped Canelo's pro style to not have such a prolonged amateur career (I think like 40 matches). With that said, I had GGG winning 8-4 and many other people did as well so not sure this argument is the best to make here.
