    Straight up and down. No special effects.

    Couldn't land shots on big slow Canelo. Can we admit Floyd was right? With his limited skills 97G could never beat fighters as gifted as Andre Ward or Floyd Mayweather.

    He missed almost 500 times aiming at Canelo.

    I simply shake my head when thinking what kind of success he would have against true defensive masters like Floyd or Andre.

      Canelo isn't slow but I thought it was crazy how much he made GGG miss.

      No wonder they always put him in there with straight-ahead predictable guys.

      He's basically another Manny Pacquiao style-fighter. Exciting to watch and all that but does the same thing over and over and is going to lose almost every time against a smart guy with movement because he can't do anything else.

          try Asking erik morales, Bradley, Cotto and barrera, who not only good movers but also one of the smartest counter punchers in their time.

          And lol at that same thing over and over again. Ahahahahahah

            Erik Morales got his win over Pacquiao and went drinking. Bradley and Cotto fought well but they weren't good enough to beat him.

            It took Marquez 2 fights to figure Pacquiao out and 1 additional fight to get his timing down. He is a heck of a fighter but he was predictable. He was also fast enough and savvy enough to not let most of his opponents capitalize on that fact. Bradley thought he saw enough of what he needed to win in the 3rd fight but he was outsmarted by Pacquiao.

              Erik Morales got a win over a one handed Pacquiao. Not Pacquiao that had everything besides pure boxing ability.

              If Pacquiao is as predictable as you claim then why is it it took one of the greatest counterpunchers of all time 42 rounds to figure Pacquiao out who was Taylor made for his style. And not only that Floyd didn't even predict where Pacquiao was going to set up but just completely hide behind his jab. That is not something that you would consider a "Predictabe" fighter since it took Pacquiao one round to adjust to Cottos defense and nullify his defense by feinting a straight left to land an upper cut.

                It's really not a knock on Manny, he had 1 thing he was great at that he did over and over, but he was so good at it that a lot of guys still couldn't stop it. But you saw against Marquez and Mayweather that he couldn't get the better of these guys because they knew what he was going to do in the ring. The same thing is going to happen to GGG. It's really only a matter of time. I feel like Canelo kinda realised this in the first fight and will really take advantage of it in the rematch.

                  That's the same thing they said before the second Marquez fight. How he was no longer a one-armed fighter. Then he went out and looked worse than the first bout.

                    Very good stamina, chin and power. Overrated boxing ability.
