    We all said the same before the Lemieux fight and the GGG went out and shut the other guy out with just his jab.

    One dimensionsal?

    I suppose in your eyes Canelo is Neo from the Matrix right?

    Me personally I give Canelo a great chance at the win hut for people who favor GGG some questions about this matchup.

    1. Citing the Lemiux fight as examples of GGGs defense and jab, you realize Alvarez fights nothing like Lemuiex and Alvarez is a actual skilled fighter while Dave is not.

    2.Alvarez with his defense has caused wayy faster fighters to miss and not be able to land consistently why would you assume a slower GGG would?

    3.Alvarez has also been fighting guys who's style is predicated off defense and foot movement, again why would you assume a less moblie fighter would be a huge problem.

    4. People bring up Alvarez's struggles didn't Alvarez look great last time he fought a lemiuex style fighter like Angulo or Kirkland ams didn't GGG not look so good last time he fought a semi decent Lara style fighter like Hassian or however you spell it.

    "Negotiations are ongoing between the camps of WBC middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and WBA/IBF/WBC interim champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin. Fightnews.com has learned that one of the proposals being discussed is that both fighters agree to have at least two or three (!) interim fights each before they clash."

    Shameful.
