    FACT: we saw little/none of that against Canelo

    he was either following Canelo around like a lost puppy, or missing wildly... and in the rematch, there were times when Golovkin looked downright timid

    don't think the judges didn't notice that LMAO
    You are saying that any fighter that changes his style in order to take advantage of what the other guy is giving him is automatically deducted points. Meanwhile in the first fight Canelo completely changed from a stalker to a safety first fighter and that's OK. If Canelo had gone to the ropes and outfought Golovkin there then sure he should get credit but that wasn't the case. He was largely ineffective and got outlanded. His best bet in that fight was to go to the center of the ring and use his advantage in hand speed to outpoint Golivkin but he stuck to a losing strategy.

        Official Judging
        Lou Filippo 119 - 109
        Daniel Van de Wiele 117 - 111
        Ken Morita 116 - 112

        Should I search for punch stats ?

        GGG would feed himself to Hopkins and Hopkins would feast.
        Hopkins respects power.An older Hopkins is still prime because he began boxing in hes late 20s.He lost hes first fight,was losing to Allen the first time he fought him and dived out the ring.I think hes prime probably was Trinidad,according to him it was.He said hed never boxed with such a high guard.Yes,he went in the run vs Eastman.He ain't walking into Golovkin .He may have won that Eastman fight ,but he ran.You asked when he ran.He did it in that fight .

          is that why you have embarrassed yourself ?

          uh-huh, uh-huh... yes you did LMAO

          you don't... like, have any instincts for this game at all, do you?
          Latch onto whatever you want. You said Taylor was “outstanding”...he was never outstanding. If you don’t like the word great, name his other “outstanding” performances. Was it when he arguably lost to wright and spinks?

            Trinidad at his natural fighting weight of WW is where he should’ve stayed but alas, the money fights are where it’s at.

            Trip G vs. BHop is an interesting fight and one I think that Trip G wins.

                Hopkins easily. Can't believe people actually think GGG would have a chance lol.

                  I am saying that Golovkin did not change his style, which is why he got out-boxed and out-skilled by Canelo in the first fight... plodding after Canelo, missing wildly... could not get his game going at all, no body-shots... even when Canelo sat on the ropes

                  he "changed his style" in the rematch because he was getting beaten up

                  where was all that... "stand and fight like a Mexican"... nonsense?

                      Like I said

                      GGG would FEED himself to Hopkins

                      GGG would fall for every trap
                      Hopkins would take away GGG's right hand.

                      Once Hopkins has worked him over, he WOULD go in for the kill.
