Canelo has become a very good fighter since the Mayweather fight, but he still has a very bad achilles heel ... He's too flat-footed and plants his feet too firmly.
If Jacobs can keep Canelo turning then he won't be able to firmly plant his feet, thereby reducing the snap on his power punches.
This is a good match-up, and I hope to see the best coming from both, but in reality Jacobs has to edge each and every round to win. The likelihood that Jacobs can get a KO against Canelo is slim, so he has to play this round to round and hope for a miracle.
50\50 Fight ...... without the judges, 60/40 for Canelo with the judges.Comment

There is no contradiction is what Canelo said. There are many factors in winning a fight in addition to "how difficult" an opponent is. These include including the degree of improvement since fighting the more difficult opponent and the opponents' comparative ability to take a punch. As for your comment regarding tainted meat, that is now a bit of a cliche, not the least bit clever and add no insight to the conversation.hold on a sec, he barely squeaked past ggg in that fight and lost the first (imo) but now hes facing a much more difficult opponent, has canelo discovered another 25% in his game at least since then or is he by definition doomed in this fight by his own admission ^^
How is he going to beat a much more difficult opponent than ggg when he might have even lost to the lesser opponent, this will be tough ^^ He must have found some new special meat in that caseComment

Well, i thought ggg's fight with jacobs could have been a draw it was so close, maybe ggg squeaked it with the KD or maybe jacobs deserved a draw, i couldnt complain if they did give him a draw but jacobs unfortunately is down the list on judges favs so he didnt get the nod.
Soooo, that being said, i would expect jacobs to put up a good fight v canelo, make it close but lose on the cards, thats just my opinion.Comment

Alvarez did not say that Jacobs was better than Golovkin, he said that Danny was a more difficult fight for him because he brings more elements to his game, such as movement, ability to fight from both the right and left-hand stance and so on. He said that Jacobs is a more complete fighter. This is basic stuff nothing difficult to understand here, yet the distinction and nuance escape you.Comment

But his Upper movement, his bendinh and head movement and reflexes are one of the best in the gameCanelo has become a very good fighter since the Mayweather fight, but he still has a very bad achilles heel ... He's too flat-footed and plants his feet too firmly.

Canelo has a normal footwork but still having a very good defender
GGG missed 1000 punches in both fightsComment
