      Promotional problems and 400 amatuer fights. Canelo started practicing pro boxing at 15,so it took him a while to build up to being the only superstar of boxing who gets run around the ring by a 35 year old.

        Canelo sat on the ropes for half the fight, about as far away from running as you can get? and it was GGG who didn't fully commit to attacking him on the ropes.
        if you were such a big boxnation fan i thought youd realise the whole of the punditry team had golovkin winning and were raving about his performance.

            You got two hate threads going on GGG at the same time. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed? Why are you so obsessed with making everyone else think GGG is as lousy as you think he is? Hopkins had no fights at all until he was 30 years old and he lost his first fight at age 30. GGG got a late start as a pro. Before that he was busy winning 345 amateur fights out of 350 fights and that is not easy to do. GGG has been a world champion since 2010 and that's longer than any boxer fighting today. He has made 19 successful title defenses and that's more than any champion fighting today. You make yourself look ****** trying to turn a great fighter into some mediocre boxer. Almost all the pro boxers and a big majority of the boxing fans think he clearly beat Canelo who you think is so wonderful even at his age of 35 so how bad can he be? Canelo can have another shot at him anytime Oscar gets his nerve up. GGG would fight Canelo in December 2017 if it were up to him.

                GGG was still fighting complete nobody journey men like Anthony Greenidge (13-2-1) and John Anderson Carvalho (19-3-1).

                At 27 Years old, Canelo has already faced Mayweather, GGG, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Austin Trout, Amir Khan, Julio Caesar Chavez jr, Migual Vasquez (Future world Champion), Carlos Baldomir(Ex World Champion), Liam Smith(World Champion) Lovemore Ndou (Ex World Champion), Ryan Rhodes, Alfonso Gomez, Kermit Cintron, James Kirkland, Alfred Angulo and Josesito Lopez.

                And as far from Golovkin as he could get.

                      GGG vs Charlo would be incredible!

                      Pretty unlikely though??
