Question for Canelo fans?

[KingHippo]

Yeah guys like you apparently watch to see guys not land punches?

Gee, I don't know, defensive and offensive footwork, defense, upper body and head movement, traps, angles, catch and shoots, punch selection, rough housing tactics, distance control, head movement, switch hitting, changing gears... You know. Boxing.

[KingHippo]

pretty sure you misspelled IQ and left out a decimal point.

Pretty sure you used Google translate and that you aren't worth proofreading. I'm going to have to charge you for that, though I don't think you could afford my usual fee.

Yeah, I know. There was plenty of that in both canelo-GGG fights. Did you fall asleep early both times?

people overthinking the canelo-ggg situation..
canelo has too big of an ego for this fight to be happening next... you all forgot when he left the negotiations table for the cotto fight and instead fought kirkand, or when he moved his trout fight out of floyd's undercard.. floyd and cotto being bigger names... no way canelo was going to allow dazn or ggg to dictate a fight, a date, a place or anything on him... this is simply canelo showing his middle finger like he did in the past... kovalev on december it is...

Lol at you going ape **** because I think a uni-dimensional unimaginative fighter can be boring even if he gets kos and is aggressive, which is out of the realm of comprehension for people like you.

I preferred Canelo vs Jacobs because they both have more nuances to their style then Golovkin, which made it more interesting to me. Which is also why I preferred Pirog vs Jacobs over Golovkin Jacobs. I also liked Lemieux vs Billy Joe Saunders over Golovkin vs Lemieux.

because he gets paid the same regardless, and the 2nd fight with ggg was the toughest fight of his career...better to wait a bit longer, time is on his side.

if they were still under the ppv model, the fight would have a much better chance of being made. this is something people mentioned when he signed that contract...that he could just fight whoever regardless of what the demand from fans was and which fight would make the most $$$.

Good perspective...I would think DAZN would have a big hand in forcing Canelo's hand...who knows how it all will play out...should be interesting

I think the real issue here is the knee.

Honestly I think that may be the case...the knee issue/surgery was kind of problematic imo before GGG 2...but he came back and fought very well in that fight so it became a non-issue in a way.

The wrap on the knee looked even worse in the Jacobs fight...I was concerned about it when I saw it...for his sake I hope he gets that sorted out and has another 5 years at least at a high level.

Dude get it through your ******ed skull...Canelo is coming from a place of hatred and dislike. He hates GGG and doesn't want to gift him with another fight.

It's not coming from a place of fear. You're dense if you think that's the reason.

Why would he be scared of a fighter who would only be older and who he defeated in a relatively average manner. I thought it was 8 to 4 myself. Not like it was extreme life or death or had to come up off the canvas.

You dense mother***ing GGG fans think he was Rocky out there getting Ko'd only to come back and win. No, Canelo for the most part won comfortably.

We definitely agree that the 2nd fight was a fairly clear win and an 8-4 fight...I think it was 8-4 for GGG though...if Canelo was outlanding GGG like that I would say the same thing for him...in that case I think you would call it 10-2 for Nelo tbh.

GGG outlanded him in 18/22 rounds they've fought (2 ties) so far..doesn't tell the whole story...but I think it dispels your narrative a bit that anything has been easy for Canelo so far...the numbers (and tape) would appear to say the opposite.

I'm interested to see if Canelo can fight GGG and either hurt him, KD him, KO him, legit beat him, or outland him in close to half of the rounds...so far that hasn't happened yet imo...but Canelo seems to be improving and GGG getting older...so it should make for closer fights I think.

People with a IQ under 80 shouldn't watch boxing

I mean they should definitely be able to watch boxing lol...whether or not we give any value to their opinions on boxing is another matter.

Like if one of them said they watch boxing for things other than the guys punching each other

He doesn't hate GGG. He hates that most people think he has lost twice to GGG and if he fights him again he might lose officially. That is what he hates.

A lot of truth there I think too.

Yeah guys like you apparently watch to see guys not land punches?

Lol that response from him was honestly one of the funniest responses I've ever seen...glad someone else caught that

[Real King Kong]

evidently they don't, or chose not to flex it. not really sure what they're up to tho, cuz in the interest of attracting subscribers, it should have been important to them for canelo to fight the most marketable fight on that sept date.

Did it ever occur to you that some of us watch boxing for reasons other than JUST seeing dudes getting punched in the face??

Here, made it easy for you.

Having preferences for fight styles is cool by me...we all have them...I like both Lara and GGG etc...so a pleasing style is a pleasing style in the eye of the beholder.

I do think you are being a bit sour/dense if you think that GGG can't do any of those things you mentioned...if he couldn't, why would he be so good?...you seem to think he is one dimensional etc...but if he was so slow, bad etc...why would he have any wins at all lol....surely you would think he does all of those things you mentioned at least as well as any other top fighter.

Seems fairly obvious you just back Canelo and whatever he wants...and are a bit fearful of a GGG matchup right now as it is fairly high risk and low-ish reward I guess...that's cool, but at least man up and be honest about it man
