Yeah, of course. They expected Alvarez to "out-Mexican" the "Mexican Style" Warrior from Kazakhstan despite it never being the way Alvarez has fought.

Norris is a great- not good, great- one. Peter was a decent- not good- fighter. There are fighters that run the gamut on that list (Botha? Ugh.) but there are tons of styles and different strengths. Sanchez can hold his head up high.

But the argument I am willing to listen to was the idea they are adjusted to their current opponent maybe a little too much during bigger fights, and they do not play to their strengths. Trip G has amazing lower body movement, cutting the ring in quarters during a fight to position the opponent where he wants them. He has the best jab in the division, and is a surgeon doing body work. Of those, only his jab was in play. He chased Alvarez, and when he got him on the ropes, Alvarez escaped.

Is that Alvarez being good? Or did Golovkin just not perform as well, maybe being out of his game? And if it was a Trip G problem, was it overthinking in the ring? I am just thinking it is worth considering.

Whelp apparently GGG "OUTBOXED" him the first fight. He won. And don't give me that "draw" bull****. YOu're not that ******.

There's NEVER been a draw in a boxing match or ANY MATCH when you have a competitor YOU favor or want to win. And most of us who peruse this board regurlarly KNOW where you stand, in regards to the boxers you PREFER to be Victorious.

Canelo sounds like a spoilt brat. Should show Sanchez some respect

[whoseyourdaddy]

Wow. A second post that made me think in this thread.

That HAS bothered me about Alvarez, though I really did not make the connection what it was until I read your comment. Alvarez honestly hasn't given Golovkin any props, and did whine about Lara running for months after that fight. Solid, solid observation on a boxer I truly enjoy watching.

Agreed on Canelo not giving props to GGG.....BUT I haven't heard GGG give props to Canelo either. I never heard Lara give props to Canelo, Cotto same thing, so your point is?
And he did praise Mayweather on his win, maybe not right after the fight, but there is plenty of Videos on Canelo saying he lost to Floyd one of the best if not the best of his era.

EXCELLENT OBSERVATION

[whoseyourdaddy]

OK maybe, but Lara still landed a lot of clean shots in that fight. I don't think he did quite enough to win, he wasn't active enough in the final third of the fight and let Canelo take the rounds. However he wasn't running, because he was landing punches, that's still boxing. Canelo shouldn't have complained so much about Lara, he came off a bit of a ****. That was more my original point, he never gives seems to give much credit to opponents.

Again show me a link where Lara gives props to Canelo, or cotto or GGG, or even Khan. Stu** ******ed it is a two way street, the same apply to Canelo's oponents.

[steeve steel]

Lolll they just say that they don't wanna fight BJS because he's a runner and Canelo fought yo much Runner in his career.

Exactly. He should shut up and stick to boxing. Rhetorics is not is forte!

[steeve steel]

Exquisite yes but at a lower level than him

Of course! Canelo is the best technician that ever lived! lol
