Comments Thread For: Hopkins Backs Canelo To Knock Golovkin Out in Trilogy Fight

Lol... who still cares about this fight? And although I agree Canelo wins easily again, what is partial owner of Golden Boy in Bernard Hopkins supposed to say? Has anyone ever seen B-Hop go against the GoldenBoy fighter? What a garbage story.

It'd be pathetic if he doesn't ko ggg at this point. It was bad enough that he needed assistance from the judges the first 2 times. But the so called #1 p4p fighter in the world should be able to stop a 38 yr old pressure fighter who canelo fans have been saying for yrs was nothing more than a hype job. So anything less than a Canelo ko should be a massive letdown.

He could but one thing BBB side has shown is an incredible chin.
When he was knocking out cab drivers he would often allow himself to be hit so he could get better position to land his own shots.
That won’t work against elite guys but I would be surprised if Canelo ends the fight early.
If BBB sides lasts all 12 he knows his 12 groupies left will cry robbery no matter what so that is the goal.

If the knockout does not happen really early then it will not happen period. Gennady has tremendous heart and stamina and he will bring the fight in the second half when Canelo is tired and slowing down.

If it does happen it will most likely be due to body blows. At this stage I find it harder to believe either fighter makes 160 without any trouble. Both will suffer from it.

Another non-PPV worthy fight between a old man and PED user and strongly suspected cycler.

GGG has just past his prime. If both were closely aged GGG would have won but right now Canelo will probably knock him out.

Hopefully Golovkin exposes that fraud canelo.

Canelo isn't a fraud, though he strategically pick his opponents nowadays. He's really a gifted boxer who has improved significantly since the Floyd Mayweather fight. We shouldn't hide facts because of dislike or hate.

GGG has never been down.. and Canelo will never push the action to try and get the KO. So...

[Sweet Scions]

Hopkins who is in no way affiliated w GB backs this outcome? You just never know what kind of curveballs the universe will throw your way huh

By the time this fight presumably happens, the hype will have it so that it will be a major disappointment if Alvarez doesn't stop Golovkin.

Seriously, people are acting like he so obviously won the second fight in a way that means a stoppage in the third fight is a really good bet. It's certainly possible, who knows what Golovkin will be like in a third fight, but people are hyping it like Alvarez should stop Golovkin.
