    Don't think he can anymore....not fast enough....he did the first two off his jab but if he does that again...he won't get a decision...again...so I think if he wants it he will have to go for it JMM style

    He doesn't. He gets stopped this time.

    GGG is a different beast at 175
    175 he only has to cut 10lbs, much healthier than the current 25lbs,

    I thought GGG won the 1st and Canelo won the 2nd

    I’d pick GGG to win @ 175 if he hasn’t got old
    168 and below Canelo all day

    GGG has never fought at 175 so you cannot say that with any confidence, absorbing shots from 175ers is much harder than 160 fighters.
    I had GGG winning the first and a draw the second but a point either way was fine.
    Unfortunately I think canelo takes him out this time GGG hasn't been the same since the Brook fight where he was hit with some heavy leather and has slowed from fight to fight. They both still have tough jobs to get to the fight in September.

    The same way every other one of Clenelo's opponents can and it's the only way they can - via KO. Even if you shut the pyjama wearing ginger toad out 12-0 and score 3 KDs it still wouldn't be enough for you to come away with the W because robbery wins, corruption, and cheating are as synonymous with his name as ginger hair is.

    When GGG turns 40 he will unlock a new level of old man strength.

    Clenelo's biopic 'Tatts, Freckles, PEDs, and Robberies: The Clenelo Alvaroid's Story' is due for release in 2023

    Clen is bigger than Bivol :facepalm:

    This is like Wilder putting on mass to fight Fury

    You ain't changing your natural frame. What your body natural sits at. It will only hinder you.

    I hope Bivol jabs his little nut off. Total hypejob...but Canelo must see things in Bivol which he thinks he can exploit to have taken this bout...If Bivol does jab his nut off it shows he and his team aren't the bright sparks they think they are. Sure bivol looks quite upright, doesn't move his head or body much however it's his positioning where he is supreme. If he can keep his offensive workrate up which is where plant failed then he'll beat Nelo.

    GGG should definitely jack himself silly w/ PEDs if he wants to replicate KO6. But Marquez is a more dynamic and fluid puncher than GGG.

    Prior to Clen going on his special ''meat'' diet he was an average puncher at best

    Bivol is a scholar and a gent, Clen is ****house

    How? Canelo switchs up his strategy and technique to brwal more offering GGG a better chance to land his punches.
