Is GGG to big for Canelo?
Ignoring Chavez Jr...is GGG just too big for Canelo?
There both great in their different weight classes but I just don't see how Canelo can win this fight.
Let's ask this question as well..would Canelo beat all of GGG opponents and vice versa for GGG.
After GGG beats Canelo I'm more interested in how he will fair at 168 mixing it up with the Degale, Eubanks and Groves of the division..I think it will be interesting..if it happens.

Most people are going to have a very difficult time against GGG if they aren't backing up, side stepping, and countering. Canelo has looked better recently, but he won't win by standing in front of him and trying to box. He will have to get very creative to pull this off IMO.
I think this is GGGs fight to lose. He may be losing it a bit with age, but I still thinks he wins comfortably.

No. I'm guessing that Canelo walks around heavier than GGG
Re: Is GGG to big for Canelo?
No, Alvarez is too good for GGG

I don't see Canelo having KO power at 160...just don't see it.

I believe he would beat Jacobs
Re: Is GGG to big for Canelo?
Main positive I see for Canelo is that GGG is not a mayweather type fighter.
Re: Is GGG to big for Canelo?
Both struggle with movers as they have slow feet
I just think Canelo's hand speed is so superior.

I don't think so. Jacobs is a really good fighter and his biggest perceived weakness was his chin. He lasted against GGG and by many opinions won the fight. I think that Jacobs is a bit too good of a boxer for Canelo and I don't think Canelo will have near the power at 160

Precisely. Canelo's a cruiserweight hiding out at junior middleweight, now having to fight at middleweight.
GGG's gonna rip him a new one, and I'm gonna record the fight and play it every now and then.
Re: Is GGG to big for Canelo?
Feels odd giving either size advantage as they've both fed off a smaller guy to help build this. If we're talking size disadvantage, Golovkin beat a motivated cruiserweight Jacobs..though I had him losing by 1..and Alvarez beat a catchweight and not motivated Chavez. But how long has Canelo been edging his way and 'fighting' as the heavier guy, comfortable BS catchweights be damned while Golovkin has always been trimmed down and on the numbers. I'm really beginning to see Golovkin needing near twice the work rate that he has shown. I see no scenario where Canelo stands in and plays macho and he has the movement. I give Golovkin the passion and hurtful short jab and better hooks to the body. This fight could really boil down to body work by either.
Re: Golovkin-Canelo OFFICIAL!!!- Sept 16th
This fight looks close on paper. In reality I see GGG beating Canelo up as the fight progresses. GGG is one of the best at cutting off the ring & Canelo should think wisely before willing going to the ropes. I see GGG feeling Alvarez out for a round or 2 before starting to turn up the pace. Canelo's pride will be his downfall and I wouldn't be surprised if his corner/ ref saves him.
Re: Golovkin-Canelo OFFICIAL!!!- Sept 16th
I don't get the hype behind GGG, he barely got past Jacobs
He's easy to hit and painfully slow with both his hands and feet.

Canelo is no Sinatra with the foot work. Alvarez maybe quicker with hands but GGG's timing is on point. GGG can take what Canelo throws, I don't think Canelo can stand up to what GGG throws back at him.
