    Like .. maybe the ordinary fans who felt the same way were not so deluded after all?
    That's what I thought Before the Jacobs fight .
    But Most of those same trainers Changed their tune and now Most of them say Canelo KO's GGG if they get the trilogy .
    Some even put their pride to the side and admitted they were Wrong .

    By the way . I thought GGG beat Jacobs .

      The fact that trainers have changed their tune and think Canelo would beat GGG in a 3rd fight doesn't mean they've changed their tune on how good Golovkin was at his peak.

      He'll be 37 years old next time he fights!

      For a pressure fighter with 40 pro and 350 amateur fights, who doesn't use PEDs, to still be rated top 3 in his division at the age of 37 says everything about how good Golovkin was at his peak.

      He was already just one month short of 35 when he fought Jacobs, and fighting with the handicap of sticking to the 10lb IBF rehydration limit against an opponent who didn't do the same himself.

      If you look at the careers of the ATG MWs, they all either lost and/or went life and death with non ATG level opponents when they were prime, or close to prime. That's boxing!

      I haven't seen any experts predicting a KO win for Canelo in a trilogy with GGG, btw. He never shook or stunned him once in 24 rounds so far. I see no reason to think he could manage it given another 12.

        It was, he wasn't fully standing at ten. The end.

        And what's up with you responding to my conversations with other members?

        That's the definition of troll.

          He was up by 10. He might not have been deadbolt up right but during fight fighters bend from waist and aren't always upright. He looked fine to continue which is important thing
