    Give the man his respect

    Me being one of his harshest critics

    Never said he was a bum, just overrated by the media who claim he is this ATG, is unbeatable,

    Very good boxer? Yes. Few could best him at 160

    I already know whats gonna happen when Nelo beats him

    "Oh ggg is not prime"

    BS

    Both are P4P, so who ever wins deserves credit

    GGG isn't prime, that's the truth. Look at his past few performances. He still is near enough to prime for this to be considered an exceptional win unless he ages overnight.

    I swear I've said this about 5 times now lol. Anyway, it's a pretty 50:50 fight to me, edge to Canelo. If Canelo wins this, welcome to HOF.

    ggg isin't prime. hes 35 how could he be prime?

    i sense a bit propaganda if you cant state facts

    regardless canelo gets credit from me is he lasts 12 rounds and wins via robbery simply because he will greatly exceed my expectations if he can do even that. i wont even say they robbed ggg.

    How can Golovkin be "prime" at 35?

    That said, he's not far off it and I don't buy into the hype that Jacobs "exposed" him.

    If Canelo wins he will have paid for it in blood, mark my words. I'd rate him beating GGG over any other win he could have had, including Mayweather.

    To me GGG isnt out of prime just that his level.of comp has risen

    Jacobs was way better then the Macklins, Gealesof the 160

    Jacobs is a level better than anybody Golovkin has faced so far. He really impressed me with his clever, tenacious fight. And I think Macklin / Geale were high level boxers in their own rights.

    GGG's decline is more technical than physical. He's easily close enough to the monster that erupted onto the scene that the win shouldn't be diminished if he gets it.

    Canelo gets credit for finally finding his manhood and stepping in the ring with GGG. He then deserves a special custom made participation belt exclusively for him, if he manages to get through the 12 rounds.

    He's faded but formidable. Nelo gets plenty of credit from me if he beats Golovkin - I will have just wished they'd fought 2-3 years previous if it's at all close.

    He, GGG is far from his prime IMO, is not at his peak by any stretch of the imagination at his age FFS but he is also not over the hill YET.
    I think he only has a few fights left in him but he has enough to stop Canelo late in this fight. If he takes some solid punishment from Big Red, which I've said he will early based on Canelo and his uppercuts, he might only have two good fights left. We shall see
