    Yeah 118-110 on one card was bad. There's always been a judge in the money fighters pockets, it's happened in boxing for more than 34434334 years. The fact that Canelo gets this much unnecessary hate while Leonard, Ali, W. Klit, Mayweather, DLH or even Chavez get a pass is unreal. People just don't like him because he beat GGG and people like GGG, that's all there's to it.

    I have more confidence in GGG after seeing a photo after sparring and his interview with Teddy Atlas. He seems very ready. I had confidence before but because he wasn't playing to the media everything was a mystery.

    People don't like him because he gets extremely favorable judging, gets wins when he should have lost, then plays it off pretending he won, and his fans fallow suit.

    Canelo by KO? What the hell are half of you smoking?

    There Is no way Canelo is knocking out GGG. Please.

    GGG by TKO or Canelo on points.

    A cash cow who gets favorable judging? Oh whoa is Canelo, how could he. Then he has the nerve to claim he has won a close fight just like 372929282772 other boxers in the past? I mean, Is he supposed to say he lost a close fight? :eyebrow2: Now Canelo really has done it, I’m starting to hate him now too. :mad:

    GGG is on the slide here and Canelo has a point to prove following the Bivol defeat.

    I doubt he stops Golovkin, he may intend to do so, but after building up a comfortable points lead he takes a UD.

    Golovkin has no chance against Canelo because it's not only Canelo he fights against, but 3 judges that will surely be corrupted just as the two previous fights. Just as they were with Canelo-Bivol - Bivol beat him so bad, yet they gave 115:113, like Canelo was a round away of a draw or two out of a victory, while he barely survived and won two at most.

    The blueprint Bivol used doesn't apply to GGG tho. He doesn't have the height, reach or agility and speed of foot to make that strategy work of keeping Canelo on the backfoot with long straight punches and then moving out of harms way when the attack comes from Canelo or using his long arms to block attacks.

    GGG has to let his hands go but he's going to much close to Alvarez than Bivol was. He can't win on points so he has to find the chink in Canelo's armour which is stamina... Problem is leave yourself open and Canelo is going to find a home for his counter punches and GGG is slower than ever.

    I find it hard to make a case for GGG winning this time around even if i think he won fight 1 and 2

    Canelo is still fighting. Those you mentioned are not. Get the difference? People have different reason to dislike canelo and every other boxer in the world. Your simple "this is he only reason" answer just shows you don't quite get it.

    Oh...so because there's been other robberies before, no one should ***** about other robberies now? C'mon DD, that's ridiculous.

    If you think the GGG robberies is the only reason so many people hate Clenelo...

    he's very old now
    it would be incredible if Alvarez at 32 loses to Golovkin 40

    Alvarez always had age advantages but now it's sharper
    boxers today can generally hold on to the peak to age 32, 33 quite normal
    but after 35, 36 the decline is still very fast & steep
    generally

    so would be very unlikely & unusual if Golovkin wins it

    Whichever way we look at it, GGG will always naturally be the bigger puncher so that will always keep him in the fight.

    Canelo being more comfortable at 168lbs does not make him a bigger puncher. It simply does not work like that.
