    He's good, but not SO good.

    He's done a great job using his "A" side popularity to negotiate fights to his advantage, especially when it comes to catchweights. Most of the time, he is bigger than his opponent.

    And the judges love him. Or love GoldenBoy. Or something.

    Canelo won't ever lose a close fight.

    Does this mean he sucks? No way. But he's not SOOO good.

      Yeah. Me too. I think it is going to be very one sided and 70% of the posts after will be about how slow and old GGG looked.

        He’s a good counterpuncher, has nice combos and is smart. He’s a missing ingredient from being special IMO.

        He’s helped by being allowed to cheat and having scorecards filled out before he fights too.

                    Skinny boy is getting ironed out tonight ! The man is shook to his core. That hard act at the weigh in shows just how afraid he is minus the drugs.
