Bit of both. Like it or not Canelo is an exceptional fighter and GGG was probably at his absolute peak two years previous.

I think GGG won both fight against Canelo, but Golovkin has not been as dominant and has shown signs of ageing. He is slowing down, getting hit more and less intense against the top boxers.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Why couldn't GGG beat Canelo down like he did everyone else?
Just like everyone else said basically. GGG was a bit past his peak and Canelo is a very good fighter and has a great chin. GGG won both fights according to my scorecard as well as most people I have seen.
I thought that about 2 years before they fought, GGG would have won pretty easily but it’s tough to back Canelo down.

Re: Why couldn't GGG beat Canelo down like he did everyone else?
Styles, peaked/peaking at different times...Pretty straightforward I'd say? Not to mention, lets not pretend that the "everyone else" he beat were as good as Canelo? Arguably the only two guys who had that level of talent were the two he fought immediately prior in Brook and Jacobs, and both of those guys had success against him, Jacobs had a lot for that matter. I think he pretty clearly won the first fight as well, nobody would have batted an eye if the cards were wide for him in that.. The next fight was extremely close and probably took a fair bit out of him. I don't think he has much chance in a third fight if that's still what he's hoping for.

Canelo landed the cleaner shots in the first fight.
GGG ducked Ward and Charlo.

Most people would not have Canelo winning the 1st fight.

GGG could have been so much more.
He should have been in the top x3 P4P list if he actually stepped up his legacy.
