    He actually hit Canelo more than Canelo hit him over the 2 fights, so what does that say about Canelo?

    Canelo's head isn't harder than Golovkin's punch so if that was true Golovkin would have a least a knock down to show for it but Golovkin never hurt him over 24 rounds and was outlanded on power shots in both fights.

    Golovkin is out for 12 months cos of the pasting he took in the last fight while Canelo is coming back at the start of December.

    Golovkin did infact hurt him but was too slow and old to capitalise on it, especially in the 10th or 11th in their rematch.

    A pasting he took you say? Hmmmm the general consensus had GGG winning, yet you saw a pasting......say no more.

    As for criticism, people generally can take it, but only if it's constructive, which you never give, or non biased criticism, which again you never give....hatred and stalking tendencies.....that's you in a nutshell.

    GGG still asking for 164 with Froch?:risas3:

    No. Much as i dislike the Ginger diva and his depraved promotor, Canelo has an an absolutely granite chin. Much like GGG.

    GGG's power may be slightly less than it was but he could still ko all the other top MWs.

    Agreed. He had to cut for so long at 154lb because GGG was still prime and Oscar didn't want that just yet. I don't like the way GGG was had over in both fights, but there's no denying, Ginger is a ****ing beast mate

    HAHAHA, look at the poll, sort your **** out Lois Lane Griffin. Ofcourse his power wasnt exposed, a bit late in his career to be exposed as a light puncher. If anything the fact Canelo went 24 rounds with him highlights Canelo's good defence and great chin.

    I didnt think Canelo could stand with GGG, he proved me very wrong and i thought WOW Canelo is a legit top Middleweight to of stood with Golovkin, i didnt think WOW Golovkins power is overrated.

    I don't think he could've stood with GGG a few year ago, go the distance yes, hes tough af, but the speed advantage at this stage allows him to stand more than it would 2014/15.

    You're an idiot. Is Danny Garcia fighting in December? Did he take a beating from Porter?

    Fail! Garcia always has long lay-offs between fights.

    Golovkin has no reason to be out for so long other than to recover from the pasting he took from an inactive , one kneed , shrunken down Canelo. . :rambo1:

    You could argue that Canelo is a better puncher than GGG. Most of GGG's knockout wins were TKO's against smaller opponents, where they were still standing at the end of the fight like Brook or Monroe. Whereas Canelo lately has put people to sleep or left them writhing in pain when he knocks them out.

    Canelo visibly smaller? What?

    The same guy who is now going to fight for the 168 lb title? Come on.

    Canelo is/was clearly thicker than GGG, and has been a weight bully his entire career. How you would categorize him as smaller is beyond me. Shorter, yes. Smaller, no.

    36 rounds if you include Jacobs. He probably had his opponent hurt for about 20 seconds out of 108 minutes.

    That said, he can punch, but he is an accuracy and combination puncher, all of this "he's knocking Oliver McCall out in the gym with 22 oz. golves" bullspit was just that.
