Canelo's power really isn't that badQuote:

Alvarez has been wobbled before. Nothing of note recently but only Kirkland & Angulo were punchers and they were past their best. GGG definitely does grind opponents down and the accumulation of punchers finally catches up. Canelo's power is debatable, every time he has fought a decent opponent the fight has gone the distance. I have seen GGG get hit but I have also seen some of his defensive nuances.Quote:

I can't envisage Canelo being knocked out, he's such a stocky built tank and certain he has the power to stop Golovkin taking liberties.
Now if Jacobs was able to convince many people he outboxed Golovkin (lost narrowly on official judges cards) after spending the entire fight on the backfoot, suffering a knockdown and being overall out-punched, including the significant stat of being out-jabbed in 11 of 12 rounds (throwing 200 less overall), then Canelo has the counterpunch - steal rounds in bursts/spots - style to get a decision.
I like Golovkin to win on PTS - from a betting perspective 7/2 - but concerned he wont get the decision (whether it's deserved or not).
GGG is awesome fighter, very heavy handed, powerful jab, great ring generalship and comes to fight all the time. GGG brings excitement and should be appreciated.Quote:

And Baldomir! Who has Golovkin knocked out like that?
Most of his stoppages are TKO’s around the 8th round.
I think Canelo’s power is underrated, Golovkin’s power is overrated
But I’d agree GGG is the bigger puncher of the two (slightly)
Canelo has far better defence. His head movement is underrated
Golovkin Isn’t difficult to find as he’s straight up and straight forward.
He seems one paced, one dimensional and there’s no special effects (as Floyd said)Quote:

He has power but he’s not explosive. There’s plenty of fighters I’d rather watch.

Little Floyd only said that because GGG would smash him to pieces.
GGG is effective and destructive who has beaten good fighters with ease.
Now he would (probably) but prime for prime I'll take Mayweather in that fightQuote:

It's a shame we didn't see Martinez fight Golovkin
When Sergio was at his best. Jacobs is the only top fighter GGG has beaten
And that fight was really close. Guys like Rubio, Macklin and Stevens aren't anything special.
Beating Lemieux was a good victory and people had avoided GGG for years.Quote:

Who said he was down? Was anyone surprised at Khan being KO'd? Kirkland had already shown worth with inactivity and the Ishida fight. The Baldomir KO was nice as were the rest but there were a lot of miles on the clock and that was about 4 years after his little run at 147. I would have expected GGG to do the same to all 3.Quote:

On top of which Alvarez has the entire Vegas establishment behind him. He can be a massive draw/moneyspinner for Vegas in big events for years to come, Golovkin not so much and he's heading towards 40. Even if Alvarez loses by a few rounds he'll win on the cards. Best Golovkin can hope for if it goes to the cards is a rematch. Golovkin has to KO him to win and I don't think he will.Quote:

I am definitely staying up for this fight. GGG and I have been waiting for this fight for 18 months and he will do it.Quote:
