I think Canelo does better in this fight than many will give him credit for because Everyones rubbed the wrong way by the stalling, false machismo, etc. I don't know if he's ready though. It's not like hes been sparring light heavies or super middle monsters. He sparred curtis stevens for cotto, not sure who he sparred with for Khan, but i doubt it was a big puncher at the weight. Plus i forgot where it was mentioned, but there was a rumor that Golovkin knocked down the ginger in sparring. That was a while back . I came across this while looking for a site though (not sure how credible it is, but he does list sources for the quotes.)

From the looks of it (if theres any truth to that) there's a reason for GGG's fearful rep. According to Canelo, he hasn't fought anyone. From the looks of it he's sparred almost everyone. Sometimes the whispers around the gym are louder than screams from the public. As far as GGG's fear goes, I don't know if hes fearless. I just think he's able to buckle down and focus. He's apparently a guy of extreme discipline and few are focused like a man that feels he has a destiny to fulfill.
