Would people start to rate GGG higher than Floyd if he knocks out Canelo?

    Floyd was not known a puncher and GGG is a middleweight so he should hit harder.

    Nope.

    Triangle theory doesn't mean much in boxing. The Canelo win for Mayweather is seen as a pre prime Canelo but also a post prime Floyd fighting above his best weight. Add in the catchweight and the win is a very good one but not one of his A level wins.

    Floyd's best probably goes in order of:

    Castillo II
    Oscar
    Cotto
    Pacqiauo
    Corrales
    Mosley
    Marquez/Canelo
    Maidana
    Hernandez

    Pacquaio may be seen as better down the line but for now it's still pretty much a bad memory for most boxing fans.

    Golovkin is (if he beats Canelo)

    Canelo
    Jacobs
    Brook
    Lemieux
    Murray
    Geale

    It's not even close mattered of how he defeats Canelo tbh.

    I’m a GGG fan. I respect Floyd as a boxer but was never a fan of his. That being said...

    NO.

    Nah, plus if he was gonna KO Canelo it would have been in the first fight.
    I stand by the fact that Golovkin is going to be outboxed in this fight and he knows it too. Thats why there was no real fight behind the scene about a rematch. The question is,"Will Canelo give the other 160 guys a chance when he gets the titles?"

    Foreman kos Frazier n norton, Ali cant,
    It dosnt make foreman greater than Ali.

    What has Canelo done at 160 for the win to mean anything at all? All these people talking **** about Jermall Charlo hasn't done **** at 160. What the **** has Canelo done at 160?

    Until now Floyd shut out Canelo while GGG only got a draw (close points win for GGG).
