I hope you are right because he's a cracking bloke and deserves all the best. He's been a great champion and deserves the big paydays now.
I'm sure Golovkin could have knocked him out, he would. But he was against a younger, faster man, who was likely heavier and fighting to survive off the ropes. It's not a matter of Golovkin just saying, "To Knock out or not to knock out."
Legacy will tell you that GGG was the feared, avoided, undefeated, undisputed Middleweight King who a couple of years past his best dominated a future ATG (Canelo) and was robbed by judges. I think his legacy is gonna be just fine
One of the first signs of real slippage is inability to pull the trigger. And I must say, GGG definitely seemed more hesitant to pull the trigger. He kinda of opened up more towards the end, but by then it was too late.
I agree with most here. I thought GGG won. Caneló earn my respect today. His upper body movement is probably the best of all active fighters. In a rematch Caneló wins. In my opinion Cotto can spoil that rematch if he fights GGG cause I actually now give him a chance to beat him. GGG looked very slow with his feet.
And a great chin to boot. But let's also give credit to GGG, he took some bombs from Canelo like they were candy.
