    GGG should have targeted Canelo's body more, but Canelo is faster and could counter that.

    Polls are useless.

    Polls told me President Trump had a 3% chance of winning the presidency too. And those were professional polls.

    How about we debate each round individually.

    And I'll take what Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Ray Leonard, Julio Cesar Chavez, Roberto Duran and many other boxing legends much more serious than a bunch of biased internet boxing geeks, any day everyday.

    He did counter it, and hard, that is why in both fights GGG was scared.

    Dude ggg refused to fight Lara refused to entertain Ward, refused to negotiate with Cotto or Canelo with weight and is refusing to fight Charlo and Andrade now. That’s 3 fights he could have made that are better than anything he’s done, 1 fight he could have made earlier that ppl swear he wasn’t prime when it did happen and he lost and 2 fights that he can make now that are on par or better than anything in his record.
    none of that has ANYTHING to do with promoter and solely to do with GGG being a fake.

    Why was 3G supposed to fight Lara? I mean, other than because that's what you wanted to see. Lara just used 3G's name for twitter call outs. Never made any intention of going to 160. But hey, it gave you a guy to use to hate on 3G. Good enough for you, yeah?

    And about Cotto and Canelo... should they have fought for the MW world title at a catchweight? Remember when EVERYONE hated CW title fights? Are you now on board with them because you hate 3G? Honest question there.

    His overall skillset is better/deeper. Golovkin has a stamina edge, a greater natural capacity for sustained output. Canelo does well to keep up enough and hang in, in that regard.

    Overall, all pluses and minuses considered, they're on about an even level.

    Over two veryclose fights w/ one another, I find it hilarious how haters of both fighters talk about how crappy the other fighter is. :lol:

    This. Canelo won the rematch fair and square, but GGG was also 36 years old and Canelo shamelessly ducked GGG for a whole year after he won the WBC title off of Cotto, so I think it’s premature to call Canelo a better fighter than GGG.

    All Canelo ever had that GGG didnt was the crooked NSAC & Vegas boxing officials backing him both legally & Illegally.
    GGG is a far better fighter than Canelo in all respects
    BTW What does Canelo's head movement got to do with GGG's face ?? Are you suggesting Canelo was butting him ???
