What will be the main excuse for GGG defeat on Saturday?

Ban for poor taste in humor using a real world natural disaster.

Let me get an official statement from you... Are you saying that a 35 year old boxer is not old?

 

That would be just plain silly, Pimp. Anyone that comes up with a lame excuse like the one you presented, should be ignored on these boards.

 

I know you're not very familiar with boxing as is evident from your posts, but age in boxing is not always determined by years, but by how well you treat your body, the wars you've been in, and genetics.

We have fighters like Hopkins, JMM, Mayweather performing at the elite level well into their late 30's and beyond sometimes, and then we have fighters like Erik Morales, and Fernando Vargas for example who were great in their prime but shot before hitting 30.

Golovkin has not given me any reason to think he is any less of a fighter than when he beat Brook.

 

According to some folks Klitschko was prime at 41

 

No excuses. GGG should know better than anyone that he needs a stoppage or knockout to beat Canelo. Even Floyd himself barely got the decision over Canelo. If GGG simply tries to win on the cards it's his own fault.

 

The fight was just brought up for the first time only 2 years ago when Canelo beat Cotto. If you want to blame someone, blame Lil G for fighting bums his whole career.

 

GGG will win by KO rnd8-9 anyway

 

you've got to know who you're dealing with. Most of lil G's fans(AND i'm talking roughly 80% of them) migrated over from UFC. These are the same guys saying, "why don't Mayweather fight GGG", not aware of thing called "weight classes" in boxing, just as they are in MMA

 

not sure why a boxer losing/winning is so personal for people.

 

what about a list of excuses for Canelo too, ratherthan starting a biased one sided thread.

 

Not sure that there is any...

Most people pulling for Canelo aren't spamming the boards with threads and excuses.

I can't even think of a single excuse actually.

If you look around there are at least 10 excuses from Golovkin groupies, probably more.

 

It's very strange isn't it.

 

well that is true, but you still need to make your unbiased.

1. Saul was green
2. Canelo rehdyrated too much
3. Alvarez's ring announcement name confused him

 

What will be the excuses when GGG KOs Canelo, after putting on a boxing clinic like he did against Lemieux
