Question, will Alvarez be pound for pound number one
When he dominates Golovkin or does he need to do more?
I guess Crawford is the number one at the moment.
Even if somehow Canelo beats GGG, IMO he still wouldn't even have a case for #1 p4p. GGG is a great fighter but I think a bit overrated. He was outside my top 5 not too long ago but with the loss of chocolatito, Kovalev pending on how well he comes back, and Rigo being inactive, he may have snuck back in.Quote:

The better question is, if GGG dominates, does Canelo have any case for being a p4p fighter?
I'm looking forward to the Caballero/ De La Hoya fight as wellQuote:

@Batman this undercard makes our Sky/Matchroom ones look like gold.
I'm leaning towards De La Hoya, Caballero is decent but has been very inactive and hasn't looked that good in recent times. I thought the Hall fight was much closer than those cards suggested.Quote:

What exactly does Canelo bring that Golovkin hasn't seen? Nothing. Golovkin's seen and beat every style, that's the whole benefit of having 500 million amateur bouts - bigger, faster, stronger, slicker etc.
Liam Smith was able to trap and pressure Canelo - but clearly didn't have the firepower/strength to make a dent - so how the funk is he gonna keep Golovkin off him? Canelo could be turned into Curtis Stevens, swinging for a homerun as he concentrates on protecting himself.
5.30am Wednesday - Golovkin KO/TKO/DQ 7-12 @ 3/1 (generally).
Golovkin is overrated and the hype will be exposed soonQuote:

But Chocolatito was even more overrated in my opinion.
1. Terence Crawford
2. Andre Ward
3. Saul Alvarez
4. Gennady Golovkin
5. Vasyl Lomachenko
That's how I'd rank them and the winner Saturday
Can make a strong case for being the number one
Canelo will move above Ward for sure.
