    Thank you sir. Little common sense

      I think it's definitely at least 1-1 and on my first watch I felt 2-0 for GGG. But the 2nd fight was closer. GGG I think clearly loses the 3rd fight but Canelo wants to make sure by making him wait which will just slow him down further.

        Nelo had bigger rounds whereas the rounds GGG won were mostly when Nelo didn't do much and took those rounds off.

        Nelo did as he pleased in there. Boxed when he wanted to, slugged when he wanted to. GGG was pretty much 1 dimensional. No body attack and his right hand was absent in both fights.

        ''Nelo waited for GGG to get old .............''

          Wait a second there. Didn’t Canelo impose a rehydration clause on Jacobs in their contract?

          And isn’t Golovkin fighting Derevyanchenko for the IBF middleweight title, the one just stripped from Canelo? Is that not meaningful?

            In a nutshell, today’s Canelo is about even with prime Golovkin, and a bit better than today’s version.

              You mean the one that Jacobs ignored? It seemed more like a ploy by Golden Boy to extract more cash from Jacobs since they knew he was going to blow it anyways. If they truly wanted an ironclad rehydration clause the penalty fee would have been much higher.

              I actually think the Derevyanchenko fight is a good start for GGG. If he beats him, he can move on to Andrade, and if he were to get past him even the most ardent Canelo fans would be demanding a 3rd fight.

                Yeah, Jacobs gladly paid the fine.

                  He did not ignore it. He only ignored as much of if as he could afford to. As it was it cost him about a million dollars.

                      At this point, it’s too close to call. Conventional wisdom would dictate the younger fighter having the advantage. If it was a prime ggg, he edges the version of canelo he faced. The fact that it was decided by the slimmest of margins with a clearly past prime ggg tells me who the better of the 2 is.
