    I love canelo and I am a huge fan,but could he really beat golovkin? We got to get this fight at 155 so golovkin is a bit weak. The guy has some heavy ass hands. Canelo fought mayweather but mayweather really ain't ****,he cherrypicks fights and knows if he doesnt get knocked out he is getting the decision. Golovkin however,has some rock hard knuckles.

    No. Not in a fair fight. That's why all the Canelo fan's (aka Mayweather fans) want him to fight at 155. They want Canelo to have every possible advantage. Even Canelo knows this.

    IT is what it is,I am a canelo fight but I want the fight at 155 to give my guy an opportunity to win. Why doesnt GGG get slack for not fighting andre ward at 164,but those same fans expect canelo to move up?

    Also the mayweather fight seemed kinda fixed to be honest with you. Canelo could have easily eaten mayweathers punches for a chance to try to knock him out,**** seemed too stupid that he was just dancing with floyd for 12 rounds.

    Fight GGG at 155 so he comes in all drained so we can even out the stakes.

    Well at 160 GGG has the advantage, and that's what they're both angling for.

    THis is a 90/10 fight IMO. Even though GGG has been facing "bums", anyone with a decent pair of eyes can see the guy is super talented.

    Other than the hypocrite Golovstans annoying the hell out of potential GGG fans, I really don't understand how anyone cannot be a fan of this guy.

    Canelo CAN beat Golovkin, at this end there is potential for most guys to beat another guy on a given day. Do I expect Canelo to beat Golovkin? Nah. At least so long as team Canelo don't manage to keep dodging until Golovkin starts deteriorating.

    Not sure if serious? 155 is not a weight class - middle weight is 155-160, anywhere in there SHOULD be allowed. Canelo doesn't have to "move up", the ridiculousness is expecting GGG to move down when he already weighs in within the constraints of middleweight's requirements.

    Pathetic caveman feet, cant cut the ring off and has no jab. Only chance to win is by lucky haymaker or robbery.

    Canelo has a similar style to Marquez where he throws his combos in spots. They need to get set and can just do it off the fly. Marquez had better footwork imo. Both used the left hand/jab in a similar manner.

    I believe so, Alvarez is the faster boxer, better defensive fighter, and more fluid in counter combinations.

    GGG is a good fighter but overrated, 155/60 I think he gets outboxed in a tough fight. People act like Alvarez is easy to outbox yet outside of Mayweather that hasn't worked and GGG is not the type of athlete physically to exploit Canelos weaknesses.

    I would give 2-1 odds GGG wins the fight. That means Alvarez has a chance.

    Never said it was a weight class. The reason GG should move down is because boxing is a business and Canelo is the bigger draw/brings in the most money. Simple mathematics here.
