    He may lose, but he is a different level than the guys Canelo has been facing. You may get the chance to eat crow and get egg in your face though only if GGG can take the judges out of it though.GGG maybe more comfortable and powerful at 168lbs, kinda like Tito, if so Canelo may not be able to handle the additional power, which would be poetic justice and a sad day for a young chump like yourself.

    Different levels based on what? What has he accomplished in the sport to be considered "another level"?
    Has he taken any noteworthy risks? Has he challenged an opponent in a fight he wasn't expected to win? Did he ever move up in weight and challenge bigger opponents to truly display his abilities?

    The answers to all these questions are all an obvious "NO". Keep your opinions of judges and all that nonsensical junk to yourself and be glad he got two free paydays for accomplishing nothing other than gather paper titles and defend them against the hopeless.

    When your the best your always expected to win unless of course you have Canelo's judges, so you weren't going to find anybody favored to beat Golovkin, who was expected to dominate even more than he did, he did dominate but Canelo kept it more competitive than most thought it was going to be, leaving GGG vulnerable to the robbery machine, similar to that of Wards undeserving win over Kovalev, only this one was backing a true Golden goose not a pecieved golden goose with no real money value like Ward.

    When you're really the best, you don't beg fighters one or two divisions below you for paydays. You only apply shameless tactics like that when you're a shameless farce.

    Like Hagler? First off, GGG was the best, so he will always be favored. You weren't going to find fighters around that would be favored over him. Maybe Ward? Did they require Hagler to call out Spinks or call him a fraud? You wouldn't remember, you were probably about 2 years old when that was happining. Read your boxing history books to get a perspective.

    I wouldn't compare a fighter like Hagler, that already had legendary fights in his division against actual Middleweights, with a farce who's biggest actual Middleweight victory was against Daniel "Suga Ray" Jacobs.

    You talking about Duran, a former light weight, sugar Ray, a welterweight, Hearns a former welterweight, Mugabi a jr middleweight contender? Golovkin is 11-1-1 vs Ring magazine top 10 fighters with (9) KO's. 13-0 in reality .

    He has a minimum of 15 defenses with(13) by KO. Daniel Geale unified the belt vs Felix Sturm, then vacated his super belt emediatly because GGG was his mandatory. That made GGG the super champ with his first defense being against Rosado.

    But Mr Know it all you forget your idol Canelo BLATANTLY CHICKENED OUT OF DEFENDING HIS SO CALLED BOGUS TITLE AGAINST GGG!!!! Why did he cowardly hand back his title ?? Because he knew he couldn't beat GGG YKnow what ?? He was right He had two attempts jacked up with Peds yet STILL couldn't legitimately beat him. He had to rely on corruption & "Vegas" decisions to get those "wins"

    I have a question .... How is it you try to ridicule GGG saying he was calling out welters & L middle wts when you idolize a FRAUD Who drags out an MME fighter make his pro boxing debut & has the gall to call it his 50th pro win ?? Only Floyd Mayweather jr Why didn't you ridicule him ??

    15 paper title defenses against hopeless opponents. No wonder he was exploding into arenas as a 100/1 favorite. The only time the odds were closer, yet still in his favor, was when he fought a smaller opponent.

    It's simple yet still confusing to a simpleton like you. Hopkins unified the division, Taylor beat Hopkins, Pavlik beat Taylor, Martinez beat Pavlik, Cotto beat Martinez, and finally Alvarez beat Cotto. Everything Golovkin gathered was paper trash. When he finally fought the real champion, he got a draw, and lost the rematch. Get over it.
