    in boxing, it's called outworking the opponent to win. higher workrate + higher landed punches = win
    Ignoring body work, combos, very high connect rate power punching, DEFENSE is the lowest IQ a boxing casual can have....

      Does Kobe only make 20% of his shots?? No! He makes almost 50% and can kill ya from anywhere on the court.

      The other guy who is a player who takes the easiest shot to make (Free throw) and still makes only 2 out of 10

        Canelo adjusted in the rematch, which is why he gave Golovkin more trouble.

        Canelo is a better body puncher. Golovkin has become a headhunter in his recent fights.

        Canelo is a better counter-puncher.

        Canelo has better head movement. Look at Golovkin's face in the rematch.




        forget the rematch... it was clearly obvious after the first fight that Canelo is more skilled, and more well-rounded, than Golovkin

        unbelievably, after the first fight... we had Golovkin fans, insisting that he is better than Canelo... when it was clearly obvious that he was not

        so, what happened in the rematch, they did not see coming

        even more unbelievably, we still got Golovkin fans who think that he is better than Canelo... and who cannot see what will happen in the trilogy

        oh well LMAO

          The only Problem i have with Canelo is he is becoming more and more conservative in his approach ,it seems clear to me that he found his pacing ,his comfortable in the ring ,his defense improved greatly ,but he is trying to be like Floyd just pick his shots and outpoint opponent ,but as i said his not so active so after every fight some people will say that Canelo didnt do enough .This style is clearly working for him so im not knockin him.

          He could go harder on Cotto in theyr fight and knock him out , i Belive that there were moments in middle rounds of 2nd ggg fight where he could push Golovkin who felt hard body shots , but he clearly feel that his doing enough ,he definetly have one more gear to switch on.

          IMO overall his better fighter then Golovkin ,more proven for sure.

            Canelo is the more aesthetically pleasing to watch, but to say he’s “better” is all relative. Is he better right now? Probably, because I’d favour him to beat ggg if they fought tomorrow. Is he the better fighter overall? It’s hard to say that when he arguably lost to a past prime ggg 2x while at his peak. Prime for prime, I’d say ggg is the better fighter.

              Where do you come up with this crap. Nash had a career 90.4% free throw percentage . The highest in history. You are like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One minute you display clear intellectual superiority when you scored the first fight as a win for Golovkin and the next minute you morph into the Gomer Pyle of the internet. Truth be told, it's rather disturbing..

                😂😂I was waiting for someone to pull him up on that. Most of the greats took way too many shots and therefore too many tough shots to have a great percentage. Great players don’t often get open looks.

                  Title feels like a mantra that a kid repeats to himself whenever he is scared and has a blanket over his head.

                  Monsters aren’t real. Go away monsters, you know how I feel.

                    Canelo will go down as greater for sure. H2H who is best? Well they fought and I thought GGG won even though he was past his best so..

                    Could argue it was a styles thing, of course but in the absence of more compelling evidence I'll provisonally go with what I've seen. Can also reasonably argue that Canelo's still improving - and I'm inclined to think he is - so I'm cool waiting to see what transpires.

                      its called "effective aggression"...not aggression....depending on the type of punches landed id lean toward the guy that landed 25 out of 50....over the guy that landed 30 out of 100...hes more efficient and more effective.....its simply not a contest of who throws more punches......again it would depend on the type of punches landed....but without seeing them id lean on the guy landing 25/50 over the guy doing 30/100

                      effective aggression right? not just aggression
