Canelo has to win decisively or he's forever a fraud.

    It's a lose lose for Canelo at this point. If he sparks GGG out, he's just gonna get accused of being dirty. He did this to himself though so it's what ever.

      His legacy is already ruined. the failed PED tests will always linger over him.

        I think Canelo will get stopped by the 10th but if he goes the full 12 and makes it competitive I can see GGG getting hosed on a decision.

          Way more pressure on GGG. He is 36 and he needs a win over Canelo to improve his weak resume.

            A win of any kind would do him well. Most viewers thought GGG clearly won but that didn't hurt Canelo. What hurt him was failing those tests. Now that he will be tested often a win of any kind will help his legacy and reputation. Of course a decisive win would be much better. He is not the favorite to win this fight. GGG is the betting favorite.

That doesn't necessarily mean stand in front of Golovkin and trade punches. It means no more coasting and depending on the judges to fill the gaps in his fighting.
              sums it up pretty well for me as well. the one thing Canelo's career can't sustain is to be beaten soundly after PED testing for 6 months. that would imply that his career wins are tainted and he would be cast into the pit with Margo-cheato

                nah... GGG already got the excuses of canelo taking peds. so if GGG loses that's the reason why. this is why GGG has been so vocal about canelo pissing dirty. he wants to make sure this is in every ones head. canelo cant do much in this match up but to get it over with and move on. win or lose, there will always be a question mark when the match up of GGG vs canelo gets brought up.

                  Pressure is on Canelo:

                  -- Lots more people these days are saying Golovkin has been way overrated
                  -- Golovkin is 36 and clearly slowing down, not looking good
                  -- Canelo is supposed to be an amazing boxer
                  -- Canelo PEDS x 2 test results
                  -- Canelo has a long history of corrupt judges (114-114 against Floyd?? HOLY CRAP)

                  If Canelo doesn't KO Golovkin, he's clearly an incredible fraud

                    He's mad because that's what you are supposed to do when in a sport this brutal someone pops dirty...ya'll really reach with the conspiracy theories..he's planting the seed? He's saying exactly what the rest of us are reading..the opponent was dirty. He's got every right to be mad. Mosley had every right to be mad at margarito, every mosley opponent had a right to be mad at his ties to Balco, Wilder was right to be pissed at povetkin, and so forth. This isn't a board game, this is life and death within a sport. People have lives beyond the fight game to worry about.
