He was maybe a bit too hyped at one point, but may now get under-valued. Which I hate seeing.

Never quite at the right place at the right time in his career, or with the right result. It was super-fun watching him smash guys like Rosado, Lemieux, and such and while I don't think he was Haggler/Leonard level, I do think he deserves to be remembered for more than what is inevitably going to happen.

I enjoyed today's fight a lot - that was a classic, with two evenly matched fighters - reminded me of the V. Klitschko vs. Lewis fight, just without the cut and stoppage.

I thought Golovkin won but Canelo showed a helluva a chin and toughness....Come to think of it, I guess GGG showed a good chin and toughness too. It kind of sucks that either fighter would have to take a loss in this case. For some CRAZY reason I was expecting the judges to give Golovkin the decision. It sure looked like he won this fight but it almost feels like the "money fighter" got the win for the sake of "lucrative business".
Canelo has more money making potential than Golovkin. He's young and already has the marketing behind him. Golovkin is at the end of his career and his days are numbered. He didn't quite get the same cards that the big money makers luck out on.....And it is indeed "luck". Timing is everything. Still, Golovkin did pretty damn well for himself...and it's not over yet. I'm not so sure the full story has been told just yet, even though it does look like the sun is setting.

I admit I have a soft spot for fighters nearing the end of their careers but I did pick canelo so I don't think my judgement is too clouded here.
Seeing GG walk back to the lockers though, I felt it wasn't supposed to be that way. Like a guy who puts his time into a company for so many years and then gets shyt canned for a BS reason and now has no pension.
I feel like GG got robbed of his legacy.
