If GGG won the first fight on the cards would you have wanted to see a rematch?

    Been a boxing fan since I was a kid, over 20 years now. Look up the word novice.

    That's 2 ignorant posts in a row from you, do you want to go for a trifecta.

    Wipe behind your ears, there's still yolk left there.

    I guess I'll toss you a bone:

    https://www.thefreedictionary.com/trifecta

    "2. any achievement involving three successful outcomes"

    Maybe I will. Then again, when you're involved, achieving a trifecta isn't exactly hard.

    For me, no.

    Im not really pumped or super interested in the rematch either though, despite the robbery.

    That's a good point, that he didn't look old against Vanes. Vs Vanes, Golovkin looked prime still. But remember as far back as the Brook fight, many commented how unhealthy Golovkin looked in England before that fight. It seems to me that Golovkin sorted out whatever health issues he had in the last 6 months or so, because he did look a lot better vs Vanes than he did in several fights before that.

    Or Vanes didn't have anything left, a lot of a ring rust and was moving up in weight. The right opponent at the right time can really flatter an opponent.

    I just mean, regardless of the opponent, Golovkin looked better coming to the ring and in the ring vs Vanes. He didn't look as drained as he looked coming to the ring vs Canelo, he didn't look as unhealthy as he looked before the Brook fight. Golovkin just looked in better shape and still in his prime vs Vanes, compared to his previous bouts where he looked less than that as many people noticed.

    I get what your saying that Vanes wasn't as tough of an opponent as Brooks, Jacobs and Canelo, and that's true, but still just looking at Golovkin himself, he looked healthier, he looked better, he looked less "old" looking, less drained vs Vanes than he did in his last couple bouts before that.

    Absolutely! Why not? It was a damn close fight. This time around though, I expect Canelo to win a fair and decisive decision.

    People actually thought he'd get knocked out because he had cement feet... Now all the crying because Canelo proved he had more dimensions to his game and nullified GGG's biggest asset which were his power shots. He was reduced to a Jabber, plain and simple because of this marathon running they say. Lol

    I'll just say the same as always. "if Canelo beats GGG in a FAIR ON THE LEVEL FIGHT WITH NO CORRUPTION i'LL CONGRATULATE HIM & CALL HIM CHAMP!! Remember I said the same thing before May/Pac & Ward/Kovalev I &II
    Sadly neither Pac nor Kovalev got a fair shot & so were null & void. Same way GGG/Canelo I.
    Lets hope this one will be on the level but I wont be holding my breath
