    GGG looking less corpsish so should be really strong.

    Obviously looked massive next to Canelo on scales

    Expect Canelo to be 178-180ish and GGG to be 185

    Thoughts?

    GGG is naturally larger than him.

    GGG is a lot smaller than a super-middle and Canelo is more proven at that weight, he`s too strong for GGG now.

    He`s not a natural super-middle and has never knocked out a super-middleweight.

    Just watched it GGG looked Tanked & less sunken, Canelo was the same as were customized to seeing.

    That's true but Canelo isn't a natural super middleweight either.

    He'd been at 160 for so long, this might just be more better & healthier for him going forward.

    But his power is proven at super-middle.

    GGG looked big and comfortable, unlike his last fight where he looked weight drained. I was surprised. I thought Canelo was going to look a lot bigger, stronger but that was not the case. I may have to rethink this fight. Yes, GGG is 40 and Canelo is in his prime at 32 but GGG was always the superior fighter. Had these two fought in their prime, both at 28, GGG would have stopped Canelo. Now, due to age, you have to give the slight edge to Canelo. Let's see if GGG learned anything from the Bivol fight. Look at their backs when they are doing the stare down. GGG naturally has massive back muscles.

    No one is coming in 185. The heavier Canelo is the quicker he will gas. If he didn’t learn that vs Bivol he’s a lost cause. He can’t handle the weight.

    GGG turned pro at 24 y/o at 160, when he was 18 he was campaigning at LWW in the amateurs which is 141 and obviously same day weigh ins
    Clenelo turned pro at 15 y/o at LWW (140 in the pros), not same day weigh ins, and was up at 147 by the time he was 17 at the very latest

    When Clenelo was 22-23 y/o campaigning down at 154 and Clenelo Weight aka 155 he was weighing 171-174 in the ring after rehydrating



    Golovkin 168 - Proksa 166
    Golovkin 170 - Macklin 170
    Golovkin 173 - Rubio 181
    Golovkin 167 - Rosado ?
    Golovkin 170 - Monroe 172
    Golovkin 170 - Lemieux 175
    Golovkin 171 - Wade 175
    Golovkin - Brook ? (not sure but Golovkin weighed 167.8 for the IBF's same day weigh in the morning of the fight and Brook was 168)

    Golovkin 170 - Jacobs ? Jacobs was 176 at 8am the morning of the fight and even bigger by the time they climbed in the ring but refused to step on the scales for HBO's unofficial fight night weigh in

    GGG 173 - Vanes 170

    Clenelo comes in at about 178-180 these days

    GGG might be bigger for this fight and have bulked up a bit of late but at worst they'll weigh about the same. Judging from how GGG looked on the scales he didn't look like he would be ballooning up another 10-12lbs though
