Why - 'no doubt'? I'm failing to see the epic wins on Nelos record which tell me that he's inarguably more skilled than Golovkin. Golovkin is unproven - that is not the same as not very good - at one time Floyd was unproven, as was Ward and every other guy to lace 'em up.
Alvarez' skills are top notch and he is proven. Why would I pick someone who isn't over him? Especially at a weight Golovkin's never fought in?
Canelo proved he can beat up Brawlers, but when he faced Mayweather he got outclassed worse than Guerrero and his fight Trout was close. Golovkin would have definitely gave Mayweather a tougher fight, but Floyd Sr doesn't want his Son nowhere near him. Golovkin wouldalso put Trout in a stretcher..
I said he would **** Canelo up, but I've seen Canelo out slick guys like Austin Trout throughout their fight. I've seen him do something, that slick as oil Lara couldn't do, and that's dominate Angulo for the entire duration of their fight (specifically behind a jab and defense). I haven't seen GGG do anything other than overwhelm people with his power. YES he's more technical than ur average power punching brawler, in fact I wouldn't consider him a brawler at all, but I'd love to see how he can win if he can't hurt his opponent. I think you confuse "skilled" with "I like them a lot"
Idk what proof there is to GGG being so much more superior than Canelo? Yall want to talk about hype. Canelo has displayed more skills against better opposition than GGG. The only thing GGG can really argue in his case is footwork, stamina, power and chin. They sparred eachother when Canelo was 20 years old and Canelo put up a good account for himself even though he didn't get the better of it. Canelo right now is significantly better than he was then
Although shitty quality, there are still 3 fights where he didn't get the KO. You people swear that when a guy who's known for his power doesn't get the KO, they know **** all what to do next. If he can't "hurt" the guy, he'll just continue to grind him down until the final bell. He's not one of these guys that fall in love with their power. He knows how to set it up and doesn't just go out swinging.
No-one, he's obviously ducked everyone. Nelo, however got beaten up by Floyd, went 12 tough rounds with Trout (who just ain't that good) and beat Josesito Lopez who also was nothing to brag about. Counting on Nelo's a bit like betting on Kessler before he fought Ward. Plenty did, going off the resume, but they were wrong.
Yeah right, Golovkin with almost 450 fights has seen every style known to the sport, he is way above the youngster in skill and power. No contest my friend, forget the resume, I have watched the sport for 50 yrs and only seen this kind of talent once or twice every 20 yrs. He KO's Alvarez inside the limit, take it to the bank. If he had been getting the big fights in the last 2 yrs or so he would already be P4P king.
