    Canelo is going to back away once he feels the power of GGG. Easy win for GGG, he can outbox him with his elite class jab or either go inside and finish Canelo using his perfect Kazakhstan old school amateur record 400-3 skills. GGG wins!

    Canelo is too soft modern instagram snob who wants fame. He can't beat that old school strenght that Golovkin possess. Golovkin is too tough and physically strong.

    It's going to come down to how Alvarez can handle Golovkin's elite jab. If he can slip / counter it, he may have some sort of a chance. Otherwise (and this is far more likely) GGG cracks that defence open and batters him to rubble.

    This. Canelo has a bad habit of waiting too long to fire, which allowed Floyd to beat him to the punch. Cotto also did this at times, but also gave away too many rounds fighting off the ropes. If he tries to wait and counter GGG it's going to be a long night for Canelo. Canelo needs to let his hand go, but also fire off combinations, since single shots don't do much to GGG. Jacobs had minor success when he landed combos on GGG, but the single shots didn't do much of anything.

    You just named two all time great fighters he had trouble with. GGG is not on either of their levels.

    They can say it before the fight was signed but not after he fights Canelo?

    I think its going to be a more skilled version of Lemieux-GGG but the result will be the same.

    Yeah, cause Golovkin is prime at 35 as opposed to 28 like everybody else. It's that funny water they have in Khazakstan. :rolleyes:

    What's the difference between Prime Golovkin and "Non Prime" Golovkin? I'll wait for this answer

    Geez! what's the difference between a 29 year old fighter and a 35 year old fighter. Watch some fights of fighters and you'll know
