Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: Canelo vs. Golovkin Post-Fight Mania

[aboutfkntime]

Canelo is a massive step down from the Miracle Man.

and yet, he could not beat either of them cleanly

[Mammoth]

like a wise man once said....

the fat red is gonna lite that boy up like a christmas tree

with LOTS of spectacular judge-friendly punches

Nice gift. Danny did better...

8-4 is clean a whistle.....

I could tell the difference in the Jacobs fight. For the first part of the fight he hardly threw any punches. I thought he was just pacing himself but when he picked it up in the later rounds he was still hesitating even when there were openings. He had the same hesitation against Canelo. That's why he missed so much.

I don't necessarily see the physical decline you're talking about but it could also a combination of both.

people see what they want to see

especially if they need a a reason to justify why something did not play out as planned

LOTS of posters predicted that Golovkin would suddenly get old in that fight..... wow, what a coincidence..... Golovkin suddenly got old, just as he stepped up in competition, just like Pac did at welter..... wow, what a coincidence

the step-up to Marquez/Bradley/Mayweather, are why Pac suddenly got old..... despite being just as fast, despite having no problem pulling the trigger..... just like Brook/Jacobs/Canelo are why Golovkin suddenly got old

most of that, is rubbish

it would be, if it happened

cool story bro

tell me how GGG suddenly got " old " again

[Mammoth]

Jacobs was considered a bum. Way out did the "face of boxing". Canelo ran like a bitch and nobody thought he won or even deserved a draw....

Who were the elite boxers saying Canelo won?

Eric Morales

but, who cares..... how is that even relevant ?

Golovkin missed a TON of punches, his vaunted power was largely ineffective, and he got outboxed..... failing to put the smaller man away, or even get him in trouble

that does not sound like Golovkin's gameplan to me

that sounds like Canelo's gameplan

listen man, that fight was REAL close

and no, Pac did not beat Mayweather either

Ali in your top 10 since 1970?

He lost to Frazier, Leon Spinks, Ken Norton, and Leon Spinks in the '70s.

My list would have to be:

1. Roberto Duran
2. Roy Jones Jr.
3. Pernell Whittaker
4. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
5. Juliio Cesar Chavez
6. Sugar Ray Leonard
7. Marvin Hagler
8. Manny Pacquiao
9. Evander Holyfield
10. Ricardo Lopez

Or, people could just age in their 30s, which they do.
