Comments Thread For: Canelo Edges Golovkin With Majority Decision in Action Fight

[doom_specialist]

He TKO'd Klitschko, at the year 2000 he turned 35. He fought one fighter that could be even considered elite fighter..so i'm still waiting for ya'll to show me fighters who were still tearing up the world of elite fighters at 35. Dude when Floyd who probably took less damage than anyone in the history of the sport with his fight count says "It takes more to do less" that should say it all.

You're changing your criteria now. You asked for 5 fighters (you chose to take it down from 20 lol) that were prime or elite. I gave you that, and here's 5 more:

Holmes
Holyfield
Martinez
Froch
Rigondeaux

EDIT: Do you think that Golovkin is not in a weak division? His signature wins are almost entirely guys that Martinez already beat lol.

I had it a draw and gave Canelo the last two rounds. He also won 4 of the first 5 imo.

That 12th is going to be a talking point for years..there is a huge argument to be made about Canelo losing that round.

[pnksntdead]

I can see someone scoring it 7-5 Canelo (or the other way), but there’s no way Canelo won the 12th round

Huge props to Canelo for fighting like a true bad ass this fight

Canelo will move back to 154 where he can bully opponents with his high and reach advantage. Obviously he can`t do that at 160. Imagine Canelo struggling like that with others top 160 dogs. He would end like Provodnikov.

Holyfield beat Tyson at 34 and didn't beat an elite fighter after that. I'll give you Holmes for the Spinks win and the Mercer wins. Sergio Martinez beat one Elite fighter after 35 if you want to consider Paul Williams elite. Froch beat Groves after 35 if you consider Groves "elite", Rigondeaux hasn't beaten a single elite fighter since turning 35. So again we are back to square one...are you really still elite in the sport beating one or no elite fighters after 35? The answer would be no, you are good, even great, but you are not in your prime and your risks and rewards aren't the same. Again, no disrespect to any of those men but c'mon.

Hog wash. If he thought his man won he’d have said so. No trainer who thinks their boxer won makes the statement Sanchez did after all the trash talking he did. Your response is nonsense

Ask GGG if he won. Hell ask everyone. You gotta take a title from the champ and that didn't happen. Stay in denial all you want. I'm over it. I can respect Canelo for fighting the way he did but he got worked again and was hurt at least 3 times in the fight. GGG may have been hurt once by a body shot. F@ck Oscar, Hopkins and all of Golden Girl. Only Canelo can win 1 round vs. Floyd when he was taking a breather and get a draw on one card. That should tell everyone something. This was boxing politics. Canelo got a draw vs. Floyd on one card because a MD loss looks a lot better on a fighters ledger than a UD loss. The only way GGG would beat him was to ko him and that wasn't that easy to do. I mean the kid is 8 years younger and his reflexes are still super sharp.

You can't win a decision against, Canelo, folks! Need a knockdown or two to even the cards.

when will Runkin get the stitches removed from his face ?

Nobody else in the division could have given Golovkin that face, save MAYBE Charlo, who's still largely unproven so you can't even say yet.

I know we’ve argued before, but I agree with you on this. I had Gee up 7-5. I’m on record saying Nelo will get all sorts of credit if he just stood up to Gee a bit more. Gee’s biggest opponent is his reputation. Anytime he doesn’t beatdown an opponent it makes him look bad. No 36yr old Kazak is going to hold the screw against the 28yr old superstar from Mexico. Ali v Norton anyone?

what you means is..... they talked shht for years, and were unable to back it up when it came to Jacobs and Canelo
