Can Canelo hurt GGG now?

The narrater brought something I was thinking as I was watching video, Canelo is less bulky in the more recent video. I thought in his last several fights he seemed too muscular which seemed to translate to tightness that diminished his technique. I enjoyed watching Canelo earlier in his career (welter/jr middle) because of his technique. It would be interesting to add clips from earlier years to the analysis. I am also interested to see how he looks at the weigh-in and what he actually weighs on fight night.

I am picking GGG by knockout this time. I am a fan of both guys. It may be only my perception but in the last fight Canelo seemed very hesitant (even fearful) to engage heavily with GGG. GGG aging is a concern but if he can cut the ring off and go to the body more I think he can stop Canelo later in the fight.

 

We will see just how effective his punches are now if he is clean. It's a question that has to be asked and this fight should give us answers.

I personally believe Canelo has dropped body mass, it don't look good, they (Team Canelo and his fans) will try and claim it is for speed but this is at 160 and Canelo and his Team made such a huge issue of the weight before that I'm not buying that but as I said, we will see.

Anyway, as for having the power to hurt Golovkin, in my opinion anybody can hurt anybody with the right shot in the right place, I'm a firm believer that a very accurate shot is far more effective than a just a "clump".

And also I'm sure Canelo hurt Golovkin to a certain degree in the first fight, if you are getting hit then you are feeling it, it's all about pain threshold and durability but you're still feeling it and it isn't going to feel like you're being tickled.

 

Maybe with body shots but i doubt Canelo will commit to standing and dropping his gaurd long enough to try get any in, Not this small Canelo with a massive head anyway especially when in the last fight a Cruiserweight drugged up Canelo wasnt even willing to stand anywhere near Golovkin for most of the fight.
