at least he respects the division by fighting at 160!!!
unlike other fighters milking the catch weights to become champions fighting at 155-154 157! not only is the competition inferior but he also has to drain them! so much for a champion! than vacates to avoid GGG! if you consider GGG opponents inferiors! than what do you call the following... @ catch weights>?
chavez jr. , liam smith, amir khan, james Kirkland, angulo!!!! what do you call them? superior?
all the above drained to the bone! compliment of you know who.....

What about Matthew Hatton, Ryan Roades, hosesito Lopez, Alfonso Gomez.

I wanna see canelo and GGG lay it all on the line this time like they were supposed to the first time. They have bad blood now so they shouldn't need anymore incentive.

You, like Golovkin, seem to be completely obsessed
with Saul Alvarez. You talk as if Canelo deserves zero
respect, but then you only seem to be able to assess
GGG's worth by comparing him to Canelo.

You seem to be saying that you think Golovkin is great
simply because you think Canelo is not great.
I did not mention Canelo in my comment whatsoever,
but your whole reply was about Canelo.
That's the definition of obsession.

Mayweather had PPV's with gatti, Judah and baldomir that did better than any GGG PPV.

mayweather vs Gatti and baldomir did in the 300s, nowhere near the mil plus he did regularly after the fight with Oscar. Trinidad did no numbers before Oscar and afterwards did solid ppv sales, etc. I'm not saying ggg will hit a mil but if he beats Canelo in convincing fashion, a fight with him and some of the other top middle weights could do respectable ppv numbers.

At some point the D riding of Mexicans from GGG has to stop.

Are you serious. Mexican style generally describes a fighter that is agressively trying to win the fight. This whole Mexican style nonesense is getting out of hand. An agressive defensively sound fighter can be described as Mexican style which is no more than a particular style that's been around since boxers first got into the ring. A lot of Mexican fighters adopted this type of fighting do it was coined Mexican style. It's not exclusive to any one nationality. Power punches, Golovkin landed only 4 less in the fight but landed 53 more jabs. So really your grasping at straws here. If you go back and look at Golovkin's history he's been defensively responsible throughout his career. He isn't Superman. If an opponent does well against him in certain departments people tend to over exaggerate it. What's he supposed to do win every exchange and every minute of every round. That's the kind of BS his detractors lay on him. There is a rematch coming up let's see how it turns out. If Canelo wins well he wins but Im sticking with my guy.

Aye I'm not dis*****g some of the things you said. I agree that this whole Mexican Style nonsense is out of hand. It's definitely not exclusively to one nationality.
But let's be real here.. Aside from Canelo and Jacobs who has Triple g really fought?? Yes alot of fighters avoided him but at the same time he avoided certain fighters. You do remember "Anyone from 154-168 right"?? We both know what happened when Andre Ward came calling after that...
You're right, he's not gonna win every second of every fight but I feel his record is padded and most of the fighters he fought weren't on his level and therefore were there to make Triple g look good. They weren't expected to win and nobody gave them much of a chance of winning. That speaks for itself.
What I'm trying to say is I don't think Triple g is that good defensively.
Offensively he's a beast, can't deny that. But I feel that his offense is his defense! He overwhelms opponents to the point where their intimidated to throw punches once Triple g is on them and throwing bombs their way.
But we saw when he fought Jacobs and Canelo that wasn't the case. He was afraid to get countered by Canelo and therefore he didn't land as many power shots as we're used to seeing him land on opponents.
That's all I'm saying.
But you said it, the rematch is only a month away. It's a great fight that either fighter can win but I'm sticking with Canelo.

hes obv saying it to get under canelo skin, hes also saying it as he wants canelo to trade with him.

[Jubei]

The reality is that GGG could easily outpoint Canelo with a jab only and embarrass him, but who would want to see that?? GGG is there to entertain and takes risks for the boxing fans, thats why he is beloved all around the world.

Golovkin fights 'Mexican Style' when his opponent is Kell, Vanes,
or other smaller/inferior opponents.
Unfortunately, Golovkin becomes 'British Style' when it comes
time to fight dangerous or talented fighters.

BWaHaahaHA!!

There is no such thing as mexican style...abel sanchez created that word to make ggg marketable to the mexican fans...he fights that way cause he knows no other way
It's worked for him fighting busters
As soon as he faced Jacob's and
Canelo he looked ordinary....
