Thread: Canelo vs. GGG

Who wins?

At what weight!

Canelo has fought better opponents...but

If he beats Cotto and Oscar lets him fight the Kazak they should do it in Mexico city.

Azteca Stadium with 140k packed in? It would be a scene but I don't see it happening. At least not soon. I'd still pick GGG. I don't understand why this fight is so talked about, I've only seen about 6 people say they'd pick Canelo counting accumulations from multiple sites.

what a fight this would be

canelo could go up a bit and GGG down, how about that?

i think id bet on GGG but it wouldnt surprise me if canelo pulls it out of his knickers

GGG wins easily at 154 or 160. Canelo too one dimensional and not enough power to trouble GGG.

As long as neither fighter sacrifices in weight loss or gain to make it happen, I'd pick it as a FOTY.

Canelo handles pressure fighters pretty well if they are used up by the time he face them; Kirkland, Angulo, Baldomir etc... still has the image in my head of when I saw him fight the first time, getting rocked bad by Cotto in the first round. GGG wins it no doubt, how he wins depends on the type of drama he want to give the fans. Total ring generalship in GGGs favor, Canelo has problem with that facing skilled boxers. And GGG is one skilled fighter, oh yes.

Ideally Alvarez would sack up and make the jump...yes that means no cw dog and pony show..but Alvarez would be the flat foot regardless and I believe Golovkin would chew him up convincingly.

Canelo is fighting at 155 right now and the plan is for him to face Cotto in September for the middleweight belts Cotto holds. So, the fight would be at middleweight. It's a cracking fight for however long it lasts, but you get the feeling that GGG runs away with it.

GGG hits too hard and Canelo takes too many shots to last. Cotto has a very good chance of beating Canelo.

I say GGG takes canelo convincingly. I dont glean too much from GGG being open for Monroe's shots. He fought for a show (as has canelo and pretty much everyone has since the May/Pac) fight, but he and his trainer are smart enough to box canelo with and then only switch over to seek and destroy once Canelo's been tamed.

You'd have to go with triple G but canelo would make it entertaining whilst it's last with his quick combos. Problem is he works in spurts & can't sustain his work . Golovkins pressure is relentless and canelo would find himself working hard out of his comfort zone to keep Golovkin off him. Another problem canelo has is that jus feet are too slow and heavy to keep moving so if he can't get out the way of the bombs like murray did for afew rounds then I see him absorbing too many & getting stopped
