My thing is this... Canelo/GGG is a 50/50 bout if you say other wise you are...

    I'm a troll I guess. You would need to give me 5/1 to bet canelo. I don't see a way he wins.

    Hater post. Golovkin is an excellent boxer with a high level of skill (punch selection, placement, footwork, ring cutting, defense).

    Supposed hater? you hate everyone equally it seems except for if they are Mexicans of course :)

    It will be a tough fight. tougher than Canelo Floyd was, because GGG will not run for 12 rounds. he will box Canelos ears off. Canelo is a class fighter no doubt about it, but his limitations require it that someone stands still in front of him so he can get his shots off. GGG will stand and trade with him at some point, and will make it a much more exciting fight for all boxing fans. Im not trolling you amigo. Im giving you a run down based on understanding styles my friend :)

    Most people saying GGG wipes out Canelo are trolls, or flat out ignorant. Those who give GGG the edge and do not count Canelo out are real fans.

    It's not 50/50. Canelo has terrible footwork, he isn't going to be able to get out of range of GGG bombs. Canelo is going to take a pasting from GGG and stopped anywhere from round 6-10 IMO.

    Not 50/50 fight, Golovkin should knock El Pollo out if Oscar could not buy Golovkin off, we all know Oscar will own the judges, referee, boxing commission, venue, crowd, fight will be in Texas, watch out for Lawrence Cole..........I don't think El Pollo can keep Golovkin off him, but all El Pollo has to do is run, play it safe, he knows the judges are on his side................in reality, Golovkin should walk right through El Pollo, feathers will fly everywhere..........

    GGG vs Canelo could really go either way.If forced I would put my money on GGG but....................just a few coins.

    70/30 or 65-35 Golovkin IMO- Don't get me wrong it could become be a tough fight but I think @160 Golovkin will be just to big for Canelo.
    Golovkin has advantages in skills, power reach and he has the better jab too. Canelo is faster.

    Yes I'd agree and for all my moaning I do think Oscar got this right with his man as a year ago GGG was heavy fav from most of us but from what I can tell it seems to be split 50/50 now

    Well he's a lot younger so should be faster but he never looked fast against Khan did he?

    Not really Golovkin is a consummate boxer too but does have power

    pmsl his amateur and pro career so far prove you wrong. He has one of the best am records of all time. He so far is unbeaten as a pro and dominated the middleweight division for years. you don't do that with your last sentence lol. I don't think Jacobs would've signed to fight unless he seen Kell Brook have a bit of success and I don't think Canelo would've signed to fight if he hadn't seen Brook and Jacobs success. Fighters getting brave now ggg is slowing down

    Agree but it is hard to look fast vs Khan only Gary Russel Jr or Rigo might be faster
