    GGG has a granite chin. After Canelo landed his Sunday punch from all the way on the other side of the ring and didn’t even budge him... Oscars Golden Boy looked like he pooped himself.

    Golovkin's chin can do serious damage to your fist, should be a health warning on it really.

    To be fair, don't bring up GGG chin and neglect to bring up Canelos chin in the process. After all, we agree GGG is the harder puncher so it only follows at the very least Canelos chin is just as good. Btw GGG did not give Brook Jacobs Canelo or Lemieux any freebies like he did opponents with more power

    He will go down in history as the most ironed chin warrior in boxing, next to Vitali.

    A solid 9. His defense is good enough not to get caught with too many or the one he didn't see.

    But but Canelo is not a power puncher, Canelo only KO china chinned fighters...

    ....GGG can KO HWs, but he couldnt so much wobble Canelo.

    Canelo ran too much to get hit flush. There were times he was running literally with his back to Gennady.

    But but.. Golovkin is the best at cutting off the ring.

    But but Canelo has cement feet.

    Yet he managed to outland Golovkin in power punches. And please dont say by only four, because in terms of quality power punches canelo landed by a wider margin. Also dont pretend Canelo didnt outland Golovkin to the body and landesd some great body shots, Golovkin was pathetic in that department.

    You think cement feet Canelo ran too much? Lol.. Now you know why they keep him away from fleet footed fighters.

    I agree. I had doubts Canelo could take Golovkin's power, yet he ate a few big ones and ate them like a champ. He's definitely got a topshelf chin too.

    IsaL will be so relieved that he'll go buy a bag of salted peanuts and eat them all in one go, to celebrate!
