    The way the smaller man Canelo was walking down the bigger man GGG, without worrying about what was coming back at him, was similar to how Mayweather walked down the bigger McGregory. The only difference was GGG wasn't someone who was just making his pro boxing debut...

    Haven't you heard? Canelo wasn't walking the bigger man down, after 30+ fights of constantly coming forward and being the pressure fighter, GGG simply got bored and decided to do his SweetPea impersonation for this one.

    LOL not at all.

    Canelo won most of early rounds, then GGG took most of the late. It was very close fight.

    While Floyd was toying with MMA fighter who had no clue how to box.

    lol! GGG wasn`t backing out of punch range the way McGregor was and landed more punches plus had Canelo in bad trouble in the latter stages, where he hurt Canelo with a shot that would have knocked Floyd clean out, no comparison, walked him down!

    He did it well, I think if Pernell stood in punching range the whole time the way GGG did he would have been caught with far more shots than GGG was.

    So in your opinion GGG out-sweeted the Pea, is that right? LOL
