It wasn't the reach it was timing and Golovkin is good at disguising his jab. Golovkin has a 70 inch reach and Canelo has a 70.5 inch reach according to box rec. Golovkin has one of the best jabs in boxing. He's out jabbed fighters with longer arms than him. I had it close but with Golovkin winning. I'd love to see another fight these two guys are evenly matched. However Canelo would have to be favored because Golovkin is getting older and slowing up.
Golovkin Outboxed Canelo at 36. P4P1! GTFIH! REAL PUNCH COUNT

GGG has long arms, Canelo reach is short, he has shorts arms
That was the difference Canelo has better reflexes and better defense.

The same Floyd has more reach than NeloComment

I don't have agenda
Canelo won a close fight and was the better fighter that night, period
I'm glad with his job
He destroyed the face of GGG, Landed better punches
Was better in defense
Took his titles
And he was clean of his face, he does not took much damage and 3 months later he fought against
GGG fans still crying
But look.
GGG vs Canelo III it's a fact and Canelo would kill his assLast edited by TonyGe; 12-19-2018, 10:19 PM.Comment

How do you know Canelo has short arms?? Do you have a link to some other stats?? Box rec is pretty careful on what they post although a mistake is possible.Comment

Golovkin's face was marked up after the Rosado fight and after the Jacobs fight. Not as badly but he has had facial swelling in the past. He is 36 has had 350 amateur bouts and 40 pro bouts. That photo comparing their two faces is not realistic. . After I retired I bought a camera and did a little bit of photography. The reds are over saturated and the sharpening is enhanced. Not saying that Golovkin wasn't swollen he clearly was but that photo isn't accurate IMO. Facial swelling isn't a scoring criteria.
Not as badly
With Canelo he took a lot of facil damage
Is not the central point of the argument but that kind of face indicates who landed the best shotsComment

But I respect your opinionComment

The age thing was his own problem and HIS OWN fault. He chose to move to US at 32 years of age and chose to take soft touches instead of harder fights over a few pounds (south or north).
