    Floyd Mosley.

    That's the more impressive high guard walk down from Floyd. Not a soul expected that after what Mosley did to Margarito.

    Canelo's high guard walk down isn't impressive to me, simply because the guys he did it to weren't active enough. GGG's one punch every 30 seconds, wasn't going to effect Canelo. Kovalev got nothing off, despite pumping the jab. Now if it was Andre Ward that Canelo tried to high guard walk down, we'd see a totally different fight. A more lively opponent, you can't high guard walk down like that. So, to me, Canelo's high guard walk down moments aren't as impressive as they were just bully moments.

      Neither fight was the least bit impressive. Canelo fought the former Crusher Kovalev from now on to be known as tapper Kovalev. Kovalev fought like he wanted not to hurt Canelo. I never saw Kovalev throw a single punch with power or bad intention. Can anybody honestly say that Kovalev fought like a guy who wanted to win????? Mayweather, who is an all time great fought a guy who never won a boxing match in his life. Is that supposed to be impressive?Anybody with a working brain and the slightest knowledge of boxing knew who would win that fight. The Mayweather vs Conor fight was just a money making show not a real fight.

        Canelo-GGG 2 because after all that yapping Golovkin and his trainer did about Canelo running away, he walked straight to them in the rematch for 12 rounds straight throwing power shots and looking to trade big punches the whole fight.

        How did Golovkin respond? Tucked his tail between his legs and tried to win the fight with the jab after tasting the first few power shots.

        Canelo-Kovalev wasn't as impressive because Kovalev KNEW exactly what Canelo was going to do and prepared for it. He fought like a straight up b*tch and eventually got iced anyway. As opposed to Canelo-GGG 2 where nobody, including Golovkin had any clue that was coming. GGG looked like he was in legit survival mode early in the fight. Kovalev actually employed and executed his gameplan from pre-fight on fight night, and that won him a few rounds. Golovkin actually looked lost...

          GGG beat Canelo and got robbed but Canelo did fight well so I voted for that option in another one of your BS polls.Why don't you make a poll on how many people think Kovalev was paid under the table to lose or who would win a fight between Beterbiev and Canelo at 175.

            What a load of lies and BS. If that really happened why did Canelo only win a split decision by a single point in Canelo loving Vegas. If the fight was the way you said it was Canelo would have won by a mile on all three cards. GGG landed more punches than Canelo in 10 of the 12 rounds by
            neutral count including all the late rounds. Smashing jabs to the face do score points.

              You think of more ways to kiss Canelo's ass in multiple daily threads than anyone. It's annoying as hell. Get a fucing life FFS!

                It was not a split decision.

                Correct, but landing more meaningful power shots and effective aggressiveness + better defense (against power shots) as well as ring generalship (controlling the pace of the fight) wins you fights overall. Which is what Canelo did on that night. He edged every category over Golovkin on that night.

                    Of the ones you mentioned, I’d pick Mayweather v. McGregor which was impressive really just due to the mismatch involved. Mayweather wasn’t exactly an intimidating walk down fighter. If you want to see impressive walk downs, look at Mike Tyson in his prime, or Joe Frazier in the championship rounds against Ali in their first fight. The man was a legend for what he did to Ali, one of the most talented and confident heavyweights in history.
