    Golovkin wouldn't dare step out of the safety of 160...

    The reality is a lot of people don’t like Canelo and therefore don’t give him a fair shake when scoring the GGG fights. I had him losing the first (close fight) and winning the second (close fight). Certainly no robberies in the second one that GGG fans would have you believe.

    Kov did worse v Canelo than GGG did and his chin was weaker too.

    I think the point he was making was that you can’t assess GGG above 160 because he has never left the division nor had the inclination to do so. If he could have knocked over Kovalev @ 175 why didn’t he?

    Canelo uses ear muff defence on the front foot like Tyson and Winky Wright

    Consider that Canelo's first two fights at the full MW limit were Golovkin.

    Also Consider that Canelo getting better with every fight and buy that time he met with Kovalev he was using his very effective seek and counter style. A style that he has yet to use or master when at the time he fought GGG.

    Reality is that Golovkin isn't very versatile. GGG is effective with his style, but there is a reason why he always claimed to fight anyone between 154-168 but never kept his word.

    Just accept we have to clear atg in canelo and ggg who produced twice a great fight. Imo ggg won both, but canelo is clearly great. Imo the third fight will be equally close and canelo will win by close robbery but I really hope ggg will stop him this time or at least knock him down, thats the only possibility to win by decision

    No, his head movement is more like Tyson`s that Wright`s, and Tyson`s hands were held lower and were more active.

    Canelo has gotten better ever since the ggg fights, GGG would get stop in a 3rd fight.

    He`d have to throw a lot more shots than he did at Jacobs and Kov, he only really countered v Kov no way could he knock GGG out doing that.

    There should have been no robberies then nobody would be complaining.

    This is a more acclimated Canelo. He's now used to fighting at 160 and above.

    He's not that 154 and 155 fighter GGG was chasing.
