Not lying I said Golovkin would stop Canelo in the seventh round along the ropes starting with a body shot. I admitted I was wrong several times. That's being wrong not a liar. Even if Golovkin knocked out Canelo that would not make him 10 times better than Hopkins unless you think Hopkins would not be able to beat Canelo. Are are you claiming that Canelo is 10 times better than Hopkins which makes no sense but I'm just using your crazy logic.

It was something for sure. Add to it the way Whyte looks when he’s caught with a good uppercut (we saw it against Joshua as well): the eyes roll back but stay open, his arms go rigid, and he looks like he‘s dead before he even hits the canvas. Quite the spectacle.Not the most of all time, not by a long shot, but Whyte v Povetkin seems like a textbook recent example to me. Povetkin losing the fight heavily and looking like he's about to unravel after two knockdowns - it looks like the familiar pattern of a fighter who was good at his peak but now long past it just no longer being able to handle a younger and hungrier fighter, and that in the next round or two it'll be curtains not only in this fight but in his career. Then all of that just gets thrown in the trash and he knocks Whyte flat on his back with one shot. I think it was a combination of things, the fact that he looked well and truly finished, the smoothness, almost languidity of the uppercut he throws despite the incredible precision of it, the way Whyte lurches back and lands flat on his back like a tree being felled like a lumberjack, the weird atmosphere of the odd venue and lack of audience, all of it just combines for a surreal moment that nobody could have pictured just a minute earlier. I don't think it was FOTY or anything, and now with the Davis KO over LSC few weeks ago I don't even think it's KOOTY any more, but for me it was the most memorable boxing moment of the year so far.Comment
