    Not sure but GGG fans really dont appreciate just how good Canelo is.

    3 or 4 years ago? Clenelo fought Trout and Floyd in 2013. It's almost 2021...

    Funny math there, chubby man.

    GGG decision, as we saw already. Canelo isn't going to get stopped though, credit where it's due.

    Canelo is excellent. I've always said it. We're just salty that he got the W after stacking the deck.

    How can you ****ing spew that stuff man. A 35 AND 36 YEAR OLD GGG BEAT CANELO ACCORDING TO MOST PEOPLE, how the **** can you entertain the idea that a younger and faster GGG wouldn't put a beating on Canelo lol

    GGG was always slow , even as an amateur. Watch his fight with Gaydabreak. Anyway Canelo would always be faster than him so GGG would never attack him with those roundhouse looping punches. Thats where the knockout power came from.

    He wasn't slow, he was just average when it comes to speed, he has been slow last 3-4 years.

    The point is Canelo would punish him for throwing the heavy bolo blows that made him famous. They were very heavy but left him wide open.
    Golovkin would always box tentative against Canelo because Canelo could counter punch as was much faster. Golovkin is too easy to hit with fast punches. Thats was he never traded with Canelo.

    Still, he beat Canelo twice, and a younger faster Golovkin would connect with many more punches as many of the shots he threw were dodged by Alvarez. 20% of those dodged punches would become scoring shots if GGG was 4-5 years younger and had that little bit of extra speed on his shots. I have trouble seeing how people scored either fight for Canelo. First fight was a very very clear win for GGG while the 2nd was decieving as Canelo moved forward a lot but regardless, GGG still controlled it with his jab.

    That has nothing to do with 3G and moreso to do with Canelo's failed PED test and his diva attitude that's gotten worse.

    GGG was close to prime. He wasn't old and didn't take beatings. He might have been prime, just at the tail end of it. Doubt there'd be much difference. You could say Canelo has gotten better too.

    Canelo has eaten too much Mexican meat, aka the Clenbuterol blue plate special, to be knocked out. GGG by UD.
