I sort of lost interest in this fight. Wondering what both guys can change make me kind of curious how this plays out though. With a decent undercard Golden Boy and K2 can get my money again.
LOL....That's cuz you thought lil g was gon win & you saw he lost & know Nelo gon win again....LOL....you guys cant even hide it....LOL
What I try to do, when comparing GGG to other ATGs, is look at his performance at the same age, and the level of his opponents. When GGG fought Danny Jacobs, he was 35. If you accept that GGG began showing decline in that fight, then let's look at the others at, or around the same age:
Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. beaten by Oscar de la Hoya @ 34
Roy Jones Jr. is brutalized by Antonio Tarver @ 35
Roy Jones Jr. is defeated by Glen Johnson @ 35
Bernard Hopkins defeats Felix Trinidad @ 36
Oscar De La Hoya loses to Mayweather @ 34
Mayweather defeats Miguel Cotto @ 35
Manny Pacquiao is decapitated by Marquez @ 34
Looking at that, it seems 34/35 is NOT a good time for most of the modern icons of the sport! I think it's definitely possible for GGG to get the KO, but I feel that he MUST get the KO! I don't think GGG can outbox Canelo in the rematch!
Funny cuz they all had losses before those names you put up all except Roy. Nice try though.......and lil g cant box....
That's what makes it so hard to analyze GGG. Was Jacobs just a better opponent than he ever had, or did Jacobs catch GGG at the right time, or both? All I know is that for me to put GGG in the realm of JCC Sr., RJJ, B-Hop, ODLH, Floyd, and Manny, he has to beat Canelo! Why? Because, like you said, his resume isn't that good without a win over Canelo! It can be done! JMM KO'd Manny at age 38!
Its that when lil g steps up to face good competition all the excuses pour in like a waterfall from Jacobs was too big, he is better than they thought to lil g is old....LOL....how do they have excuses when they think he won??
And Canelo has never once looked great against an elite opponent so I guess that puts them back at level ground.
GGG won the first fight and got fked out of the decision. Wouldn't be surprised if it happened again honestly. Every Canelo fight has a ridicioulous scorecard or 2.
lil g hasn't ever looked good against good competition which was his last two, only two fights & he lost them both. 3 is on its way & we can then officially call him triple L.......lol
