    He'll definitely make it to 36 with that formula.
    What makes Charlo or Andrade a tougher fight than Jacobs?

      I openly dislike Canelo for his diva’ish weight demands, failing a drug test etc but he clearly won that fight. Lara did nothing for 8 of those rounds.

      Do you also dislike Pacquiao, Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr., and the biggest Diva of all Golovkin?

          So you black consistancy?

          I'll just assume you dislike Pacquiao for catchweights and weight stipulations, and since you don't like divas, I'll assume you dislike Golovkin.

          Am I right?

            Let me guess... Canelo fan?

            When did GGG fight at a catchweight? Against Rolls?

            Pac came up from f***ing Flyweight.

            Canelo weight was pathetic. Just like you getting emotional cause I don’t like your favourite fighter.

            Get a life kid...

              So you admit you measure fighters with a different stick. Good to know, that way I know who likes discussing boxing and who likes to troll people.


              Without knowing you, I bet you that you consider Pac an 8 division world champion but don't acknowledge Cotto as a real lineal MW Champion.

              Without knowing you I bet you believe GGG tied Hopkins' title fight record at MW, but don't consider Canelo a 4 division champion.

              Without knowing you I bet you condemned the Canelo-Khan fight, but was gave GGG a pass twice, one against Brook, and the other against Martirosyan.

              I also can almost guarantee you favored Golovkin to KO Canelo both times.

              Right?

                  He gets a bad rap, but if I put aside the personal side and the ‘unlucky’ beef episode, he is a very good boxer and has accomplished a lot at a young age. Mayweather was prime when he fought a green kid in Canelo and he couldn’t put him away and let’s be honest Mayweather will go down in history as one of the GOAT.

                  Yeah GGG could argue he deserved a win in their first fight, but it was close enough to argue about and once again GGG is going to be among the GOATs in his weight class. Canelo has moved through multi weight classes without ever really changing gears, he is granite chinned, his counter timing is incredible, he’s got pop, that jab is sublime and he’s got quick hands and a versatile offence. He’d be a problem for all the best at Light Middleweight and Middleweight throughout history, and would be a pain in the ass for all the best supers that have gone before, let’s give some cred where it’s due.

                    He’ll retire younger.

                    It is believable because his style prevents him from taking a lot of damage due to him using boxing fundamentals and not being a brawler who blocks punches with his face. He has the reflexes and defensive capabilities to fight for a relatively long time. But I just think because of his fast pace, he will run out of accomplishments and fair challenges and there will be nothing in boxing for him after 2-3 more years. So I expect him to start getting bored with boxing in another year or two. Especially since the guy will have made hundreds of millions of dollars. How do you stay motivated to wake up at 4am to run and train for a fight when you are a multi millionaire? When you are at that stage only big events with big names would motivate you and he is running out of big names.

                      And people criticize Joshua for beating Ruiz 12-0 in rounds and stopping guys like Whyte, Povetkin.

                      Give me a break, Joshua is far bigger boxing face than Canelo.
                      Naw Canelo is the main man right now and it really isnt close...
