Golovkin Would Wreck and School Canelo the Same Way He Did Lemmie...

    Maybe from the simple fact that Canelo unlike Golovkin is multi-dimensional.

    Canelo can box, can pressure, and his bread and butter Counter Punch.

    Canelo's defense is superior to Golovkin as well. He uses good head movement and bends well at the waist. Canelo also can be very slick as we saw in the Austin Trout fight. None of which Ggg does well.

    Canelo is also one of the very few fighters above 140 who still uses feints as part of his fight game.

    Its obvious who the superior boxer is dude.

    Lemuiex is a decent fighter (At Best) with Great power.

    Unfortunately he will never be elite and wont accomplish much in his career.

    Dominic Wade is a bum. Period.

    I have to disagree, GGG just tends to walk through his opponents in the pros. He can box many styles himself, as his amateur record shows.

    Canelo is skilled, tough, and has good power, but he isn't technically better than GGG.

    Canelo is ten times the fighter Lemieux is.

    Ggg hasnt shown me in the pros that he can outbox and elite fighter. The one time he tried against top level Brook he was getting his head knocked around so he resorted to his bull rushing style. Yeah, against a come forward no defense having b level fighter like Lemieux he may look like a boxer, but reality is how refined can his boxing skills be when he's only fighting overmatched bum opponents and the only way he beats them is by pounding away at their heads. Ive seen many Ggg fights and in almost every fight he gets outboxed for moments before he bull rushes in.

    GGG beats every living man today close to his natural weight.

    GGG hits so hard, has such good boxing skills and such a great chin- he is virtually unbeatable.

    I guess you did not see Canelo's fight against Mayweather. Canelo was thoroughly outboxed, showed no head movement, and was hit a lot during that fight.

    Canelo does not know how to pressure, but he tries. Even he's said so himself he's a counterpuncher. Just because Ggg is flatfooted doesn't mean he's any less skillful. He has one of the best jabs in boxing and used it to neutralize the power against a dangerous puncher like Lemieux. He didn't use it against Brook because he wanted to lure Brook closer and to open up. Ggg has showed clearly he can box, counterpunch, and obviously pressure. Both Ggg and Canelo have their strengths and weaknesses, but I have to give the edge to Ggg. I love the feinting Canelo does and has shown great defense, probably the 2 things he does better than Ggg, but Ggg I think is a true beast and won't mind taking one in order for him to land one of his own. And most can't usually take his!

    Like all of Golovkin opponents Canelo will become a bum automatically after Golovkin has knocked him out.

    Age is not an excuse. Floyd Mayweather was Fighter of the Year at age 21. By the way, Canelo was 23 (not 21) when he faced Mayweather.

    The fact of the matter is that Canelo's fundamentals are so bad, and age has nothing to do with it. It's not just the Mayweather fight. In the Lara fight (a fight Canelo should have really lost), Canelo was unable to cut off the ring.

    If Canelo fights GGG the way he did Mayweather and Lara, he is going to get knocked out guaranteed. Maybe even this 51/52-year-old version of Bernard Hopkins would expose Canelo.

    Canelo may not be the best at cutting off the ring as in Golovkin does not have good defense.

    Good thing for Canelo he is a counter puncher who doesn't need to cut the ring off unless he's fighting a runner like Lara.

    Golovkin was getting falked by a WW.
