    I think he still has power but I don't think he has the POP of David the Mule or Danny Jacobs at this weight

    That's like saying just because Khan has been down does not mean he will go down again. I'm clearly saying history shows us facts about a fighters ability to take power shots and if GGG can take punches from Danny J and the Mule he can withstand Big Red's power unless he grows very old over the next few weeks.

    Good fight just happy to see it taking place as I like both guys. Canelo can suffer a loss and still be a star where as this is a career fight for GGG at his age

    You have a solid point here. After Khan he fighted that English dude only if i remember correct?

    I take my words little bit back. I forgot this completely.

    My point is, saying someone has never been knocked down doesn't tell that much of a tale. I've never once said he would 1 punch KO him, I said it would be an accumulation of damage, resulting in a KO9, after 1-2 knockdowns. I think Canelo's size will get to him. Just my opinion. GGG definitely has a good chin but did he really take a full blooded shot from Danny or Lemieux? I don't remember seeing one landing big on the button. I'd love to see his chin tested this fight. If he gets by with flying colours, then it'll be a big accomplishment.

    It is a great fight for both men. Winner definitely rises in the p4p rankings considerably, could be top 3 for either guy!

    Cheers

    Be honest here, no bull****, (which I know you're incapable of) what would you have said about GGG if he beat a small former LWW non MW catchweight champion to become the lineal MW champion of the world, and instead of fighting a MW in his first defense, drug up a glass jawed former LW, then dropped the title instead of moving up and then proceeded to fight an unproven plodding Brit level guy whose best win was over John Thompson who Frank Galarza KO'd in 2. Then finally he decides to move up to MW, and instead of fighting a MW, he fights a guy who hasn't been at MW in 5 years, who also has looked like absolute hell for 5 years.

    What would you say if GGG did that?

    I agree with this actually, I want Canelo to come out and just take the fight to him on the inside. Canelo's inside work is magnificent.

    Yeah Beefy knows all about that, he teed off on Beefy for 9 rounds before finally stopping him. Canelo looked like a beast. And got hit 115 times in the process. Can you imagine what damage 115 clean shots from GGG will do to Canelo?

    I think any fan of the sport of boxing, not a boxer's fan, would quickly call Bull Szhit but you know nut hangers will just look the other way just like the guy you are asking CST.

    I point the finger mostly at promotors and I bet you Oscar still fought Big Red when he told Oscar enough is enough and to MAKE THIS FIGHT

    Right!!!!
    I've been saying I fully expect Big Red to stagger GGG like nobody has in the past all based on that beautiful inside uppercut.
    Cheers bro

    Can you provide examples of when Canelo lacked speed, his footwork was faulty and his timing was off? The reason for the request is that I haven't detected these flaws and would appreciate seeing them so I can be more knowledgeable in recognizing them in the future.

    As for power, I disagree that Canelo doesn't have any based on his KO record. One thing to keep in mind is that inability to KO an opponent might be related more to the fortitude of an opponent's chin than it is the puncher's power.

    Keep in mind that Ali remained on his feet against Frazier during the Thriller in Manila and against Holmes not because they lacked power. So did Holyfield against Tyson's formidable attack. So one has to be very careful before reaching that lacking of power conclusion since other factors are involved.
