    Yes he did. But when you have to qualify a compliment with "considering..." it points to something not quite right.

    Professional sports are supposed to be competitions between two individuals (or teams) at their best. This way the winner can claim something meaningful. IMHO, Canelo can't claim diddly squat from this victory. This isn't me dumping on GGG. This is me dumping on Canelo (as usual). I like GGG. Hell... if I had the chance to have a trilogy fight against someone I knew I had no chance of beating... while making boo coo millions so I could ride off into the sunset a hell of a lot richer... I'd go for it. But Canelo groupies (and Ginger himself) will obviously claim some legacy defining victory over something that was a foregone conclusion. I personally don't watch sporting events where the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

    I predicted a knockout win for Canelo. It didn't happen because obviously GGG has a hell of a chin... but also because Canelo UNDERPERFORMED. He gets an F for not being able to dispose of an opponent he went to great lengths to say how much he hated. Canelo had the youth, the weight, the judges, the system... he had EVERYTHING stacked in his favor (as usual)... and couldn't put away a 40-year old man.

    By the way, usually when you tell someone "You look good considering your age"... it's usually regarded as a backhanded compliment.

    I appreciate and accept your points Titofan.

    Golovkin was beaten legitimately for the first time. Considering all the points I raised in my earlier post it was bitter sweet seeing a legend having to accept that he was just unable to beat Canelo.

    Golovkin fought within himself and was never in trouble. Canelo did enough to win the majority of the early rounds when he picked up the pace and allowed Golovkin to win the latter rounds.

    Whilst the standard of boxing was high there was no dramatic moments that made the 3rd fight a classic. It seemed they had a gentlemen's agreement to go through the motions and not hurt one another.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    that's another good point there. It DID seem like some kind of a tacit gentleman's agreement, it DID seem a little underwhelming on BOTH fighters' parts. Fishy.

    I do not think it was fixed type of fishy but just a "wink and nod" you do not hurt me and I will not hurt you. Like when Manny Pac and Shane Mosely fought each other and touched gloves at the start of every round. They went through the motions.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    ggg does have a hell of a chin, hasn't been knocked out yet
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
