    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.
    Who are you, the "Voice of Boxing"? You can't prove any of what you say.
    There is no test for who is a more skilled fighter. It's all opinion, like everything in boxing.
    They fought 2X and most fans probably think neither guy separated himself from the other.

      He should be.

      GGG's 38 and was 35 when they fought the 1st time.

        GGG is the better fighter, Canelo is the better boxer, in the 1st fight GGG was fighting canelo, in the 2nd fight GGG tried to box canelo

          People will argue who's better for decades, but this will remain the truth.

          Canelo in his prime = slightly over the hill G.

              Nelo has way more fights than GGG
              GGG has had a relatively easy career

              Had GGG never fought Nelo, no one would be saying GGG is old.
              GGG would go on beating up C level guys and looking like an ageless God.

                How many great players make 2 out of 10 winning shots???

                That gives you a WINNING % .200

                  Canelo's "skills" are just flashier and more obvious to the eye. Golovkin's are more subtle, thus he wrongly gets put in the camp of 'face-first brawler'. If Canelo is more skilled, why was he getting his head jabbed off by a less skilled fighter?

                  Plus, this is a 35/36 year old faded Golovkin, not a 30 year old prime Golovkin. Canelo is in his prime right now. Let's see if his skills are still as sharp in 5/6 years.

                    Canelo is flashier and slicker, especially considering he is in his prime and GGG is on his way out...GGG has one of the best jabs I've ever seen though, especially for a guy with not exceptional reach...I think GGG's skills are more understated and more consistent compared to Canelo's flash and dash (and rest and recover)...GGG is just go go go go
