Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin II: Afterthoughts

[Butch.McRae]

I think you follow the money. While I hope Floyd/Manny rematch doesn't happen, if it does, then assuming Floyd wins, the only logical fight next is a Canelo rematch because that is the only fight that sells more than the Manny rematch.

If Floyd makes another $300-400 million off both fights, it aint the Floyd diehards you gotta worry about, it's the Floyd haters.

You're right lol it's a cluster ****. I just think this place has been better now that the Manny and Floyd believers have died down.

I'm actually happy GGG lost (although I picked him to win fight 1) for that same reason lol

The closer we get to logical debates here, the better.

I thought GGG once again got reminded that he was built up to lose to Canelo. This was always going to be how it played out.

I think Floyd/Canelo makes sense. Canelo needs to erase that dreadful performance in the minds of fans for him to become the true face of the sport.

I always figured Canelo would be the one to beat Floyd. They fought earlier than I thought they would. Floyd was just still too good then. Now at 41 I think he is vulnerable and ready to be beat by a younger fighter.

Nobody cares about Canelo's loss to Floyd. It was expected

Lets be honest here. There are so many divisive posters on here putting down both fighters. Those two guys fought the best i have ever seen both fight. Great Fight ! Much respect to both. Canelo what can i say. Has tremendous skills. Can Adjust! Fast hands great balance. GGG fought the best i have ever seen him fight. Used alot of his old boxing skills to do well. Had to Canelo made him. There are alot of haters on here that hate GGG , but how can you hate him after that fight. Guy is skilled and a warrior. He is just aging quickly. I scored it a draw honestly. Thought Canelo fought the perfect style for him. Both fighters could have done a few things differently. Canelo could have thrown more combos and slid to the sides to counter. Not on the ropes its called spinning an opponent. GGG should have thrown atleast 3 to 4 body shots every round. Plus the jab to body ans solar Plexes. Canelo executed his better and that was the difference i guess. Great fight. ! Great night for Boxing!

I disagree because it was such a lopsided loss. Canelo barely won a round in that fight. Added to that was the terrible draw on one card that everyone booed. IMO for Canelo to truly become the face of the sport over AJ he needs to rectify that performance.

[Fangedgrowl]

Now what is next. I am not interested in fight 3 right now . I would like to see GGG fight a Murata or Move up to 168 and Fight Zurdo honestly. Canelo Well whoever. ? I see Floyd seems to be angling for a shot. Floyd Pac 2 sounds like it will get done. Winner fights Canelo possibly in May. Floyd Has been inactive and Canelo is a totally sifferent fighter than years ago. There will be no Weight limit crap like 152 last time. Think Canelo if he fights Floyd like he did GGG the nother night will win a wide UD . Floyd is still crafty enough to not get KOED. But You can throw 2o to 30 punches a round and beat Canelo now. Sorry. Charlo please. Both brothers have tremendous ability , but something tells me they will fold when Canelo starts breaking them down to the body. Those guys have that frontrunner mentality to me. I think Jermell has fought the better comp and may be better overall. I think all that talk and snarling stuff will dissipate when Canelo starts countering them and breaking them down with body shots. I guess winner of Jacobs and Deverychenko against Canelo would be best fight. Jacobs is big and tough, but his chin will get clipped by Canelos sharp punches.

[QUOTE=Shadoww702;19111479]Not this nonsense sht again??? He was BOO'd against 31 year old Trout in that decision because many ppl felt Trout won.

Canelo was the 1st to beat a PRIME Trout coming off his BEST win and he was at an all time high....Canelo aint no damn GIMP who lasted 4 rounds on one leg against Charlo. Thats fkn PATHETIC!


Charlo's fight with Trout was not close. He just didn't knock Trout out like he's been doing everyone else and Trout was game, but game doesn't mean close. On the contrary many people felt he deserved a draw againt Alvarez but was never going to get a fair shake with "open scoring" amongst other things going against him.. Anyway Alvarez vs Charlo is what I'd love to see sometime soon.

He will never fight Floyd ever again so he won't be rectifying anything. That loss will always stay with him but there is no shame in it. Floyd is one of the best ever

[Shadoww702]

Regardless of how you feel, Charlo would be very dangerous for Canelo.

Btw, that Trout fight was at worst 7-5 for Charlo. That fight wasn't close at all. Fans just don't like the Charlos lol

I just dont like the scared talk. ****** to even think that.

Ward wasnt scared of Kovalov

Canelo wasnt scarred of GGG

And he sure as hell its not gonna be scared of Charlo who has barely a fraction of the experience as Canelo and their about the same age.

[BigStomps]

Welcome to a new era in the Middleweight division.
Charlo will rule with a iron fist.
Nelo will run like he did at 154!

Lol, you're swinging off the nutts of a guy who's older than Canelo and he's beaten no one of importance in his career but yet you think he's better than Canelo or that Canelo will run from him.... Yeah sure... 🤣
Canelo is Top 5 pound for pound and number 1 in the middleweight division. Believe That!

Trout knew the score the entire time and did jack sht about it. He should of started throwing some hailmarys instead of just running on 3rd and long, then punting. If Trout wasnt gonna do sht why should Canelo just not play D and take a knee to run out the clock... Trout got dropped 1st time ever, bloody mouth and bambi-legged a few more time. He was HAPPY to cry about the judges instead of trying to win and possibly get TKO'd or dropped again.

Also silly if you think this is the same Canelo that fought Trout or even Lara you need to stop talking about boxing.
