    How Canelo could not stop a 42 Year Old shot Mosley is incredible....Take into account Big Talking Anthony Mundine TKo'd Mosley 2 Fights Later just shows Canelo is not the Massive Puncher he tries to make Us believe.......The Fight at the weekend will be a 50/50 I believe...but for Canelo to talk this Type of Garbage is not doing His Credibility any Favors....

    Alvarez-Mosley was the fight that made me question Canelo's power. It's not really that he didn't stop Mosley, who had never been stopped at that point, it's the fact that he hit Shane with everything in the kitchen sink and Shane didn't even get seem to get more defensive or overly concerned about the incoming.

    Mosley frequently throughout his career went into defensive shells when he was getting hit consistently. Forrest made him reluctant as hell in the rematch. Winky had Shane tentative, especially in the first fight. Shane held Cotto a lot to slow the action. Mayweather and Pacquiao both had Mosley in a defensive shell and reluctant to punch, and touching gloves with Pacquiao seemingly every minute. Mosley was a shot fighter who was hit by seemingly everything in the kitchen sink by Canelo and still didn't get any more defensive.

    I think Canelo is a decent puncher. He's not Paulie Malignaggi, my guess is that he'll hit hard and accurate enough to make GGG at least somewhat concerned about the incoming to not be reckless. But I still wouldn't be all that surprised if he doesn't really gain his respect.

    It would probably be good for Canelo to clinch effectively, although it is not pleasing to the eye. He has slow footwork which can be costly against a clever stalker like GGG, but Canelo can still disrupt GGG's rhythm with clinching at the right time.

    Alvarez could not knock out an over the hill Cotto, but Pac did.........................so did Margarito..............

    Golovkin would knock all of Alvarez' opponents out easily..................
