    Golovkin is probably working hard on his knock out shots, he will try to knock out Canelo no matter which substance Canelo injects to his body.

    Overrated massively by his stans, never beat anybody truly elite, and built his name off defending a JV title like the kind Tank Davis goes for a bunch of times vs nobodies, while never making any type of concession to try and make better fights.

    the perfect example to sum up GGG career is the situation after the Canelo rematch, Canelo told em get a belt and we can fight GGG and instead of fighting an actual champ he waiting to get a vacant belt due to politics instead of EARNING it which is his entire career in a nutshell

    Your talking about the title Canelo vacated to avoid fighting Derevyanchenko?

    Very good, the best MW of his weak era (with Pirog's injury keeping him from vying for that distinction), but also a hamster-faced *** (can't believe that's censored) and a businessman who never was a true A fighter or a potential ATG.


    By the way, if ever there was a thread that proved once and for all, with utter equivocacy, that nothing posted by 'lordlosh' should ever be taken seriously, this was it.

    He couldnt match up to the monstrous hype. Arriving on the world stage older than most do played a role there but also being on HBO during its dying years didnt help as he was treated as their true cash cow. Then the DAZN contract didnt help his late career ambitions any. He was a disciplined puncher-swarmer at his best. Great chin and power. For he and his fans, it is unfortunate he couldnt get Sergio, Cotto, or Sturm back closer to 2010-13.

    There are definitely more than a handful of head-scratchers in this thread.

    Good enough to be ducked, avoided and frozen out when in his prime by many of the elite and top MWs like he had the bubonic plague, to be the most ducked fighter in the entire sport for a number of years, and good enough that he should be 2-0 against the so called "greatest fighter of our generation'' even though he was well past his prime, giving away a significant amount of weight to them in both fights, and they were jacked silly with PEDs for the rematch.

    He was shamelessly ducked by them when he was closer to his prime too, and despite the biblical levels of controversy surrounding their first two encounters and the huge interest in seeing the third instalment of the trilogy, said ''greatest fighter of our generation'' has been shamelessly ducking him again and has aged him out even more until he is 40 y/o.

    The absolute worst case for GGG is that he should be 1-1 against a much younger, heavier and prime juiced version of said "greatest fighter of our generation'' when he was well past his prime losing the rematch by a single point (114-114, 115-113, 115-113) when he was old and well past his best and they popped dirty for PEDs in between their first and second fight.

    bruh if you seriously believe Canelo avoided a guy coming off an L to a guy Canelo already beat only to fight a LHW CHAMP you dumb as hell it’s a reason why Canelo is a free agent currently.
    And if memory serves correctly Dervy wouldn’t agree to money to face Canelo only to take less and lose a close fight with GGG

    chenkos whole **** is fighting on the inside and canelo's better than him at it:duhand he'd be the only guy that Canelo would have a height and reach advantage on at MW so he'd have to come to Canelo and his counters

    I'd put him in the top 10 middles of all time, and that's saying a lot considering how deep the division is. I think that H2H he could stand his ground with any middle that ever existed. Very very solid in all aspects of the game, and despite his great KO record, I think he is really more of a boxer that works for the KO than a slugger that just uses power to blow people out. Excellent footwork. Excellent stamina. Top shelf chin, it's up there with Hagler's. I had him beating Canelo twice, both chasing him down and on the backfoot. In fact he's the guy IMHO that hurt Canelo the most, and Canelo himself has a granite chin. If I had to pick a boxer for a newbie to emulate technically GGG has to be up there, because he doesn't base his game off freak physicality like say RJJ or freak punching power like say Lemieux. He's solid technically and then his physicality is just the cherry on top.

    Brook did well in 1 round and barely managed to keep up in every other round.
