Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I think Canelo's advantages are...
Speed (he's got faster hands)
Defence (his reflexes are a lot better)
Combinations (he puts punches together better)
Versatility (he can pressure or box on the back foot)
Golovkin has the edge in...
Power (he hits harder no doubt)
Jab (I think he has the better jab)
Strength (you'd assume he'd be the stronger man)
They're both accurate punchers
Who work both the body and head
But Canelo is younger and quicker.
In Boxing speed usually beats power
And versatility usually finds a way to beat strength
Neither guy has great footwork in my opinion
But I'd definitely give that edge to Canelo as well.

GGG power, jab and strength at the weight will be the deciding factors. I see Golovkin batter Canelo because he has wanted this fight for years and will be extra motivated.
Canelo has a solid chin but will be his undoing. Saul will take too much punishment. I can see GGG stop Canelo late in the fight.
It will be a good fight. Even a classic.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
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.
