I'm not sure why people were expecting Golovkin to jump in with some killer in a comeback fight.
Where was this criticism when Canelo fought Rocky Fielding?Comment

At least Fielding was in a higher division and much bigger than Canelo who started his career at welterweight. Plus Fielding is a top 10 super-midddle weight. Canelo has also fought 3 times in less than a year. All 3 top ten contenders and GGG and Jacob's the best middleweights.
GGG on the other hand just fought a 36 yr old bum. Canelo moves up to a new weight class and fights a top ten fighter. GGG too scared to move up a full weight class so he has a fight at 164lbs against a guy who is not even ranked in the top #100.
So tell me with the above noted resume who is the greater fighter?Comment

Rankings be dammed, I've seen enough of Rocky Fielding to know that he isn't very good at all. I'd be amazed if he was ranked top 10 anywhere outside the WBA.At least Fielding was in a higher division and much bigger than Canelo who started his career at welterweight.

His style is also made to order for Canelo, fighting up close out of a crouch, lacking power and speed and not taking advantage of his height and reach.
In addition, the guy was given 5 weeks notice as well as a hydration clause while Canelo, fresh off a drugs ban, spent 3 months hulking up. You saw them in the ring, Canelo looked like Tyson '87 while Fielding was a bag of bones.
Lest we forget, Canelo spent a good portion of his career fighting for the middleweight title at a catchweight, but we're going to kill Golovkin for one catchweight bout in a comeback fight at 36 year's old?Comment

Gennady has been out for nine months so he was obviously carrying they guy because he felt he was not a threat or danger to him.
He would have love to get in some extra rounds in order shake off some of that ring rust. However, the guy he was challenging was handpicked and just too limited and overmatched for him.
I am pretty sure if he could have gone an extra four or five rounds he would have been very pleased.Comment
