    Agree with a lot of this. I am interested in this fight but I don't care who wins.
    If you think about where both fighters are at right now, your scenario makes the most sense. GGG is in his final fight and feels he won both but got robbed. He has to hurt Canelo at a minimum and can't afford to dance around and give rounds away. He has to feel he won't get a decision. Either that or he is just there for a payday and is content to say "the fans know I won"

    Canelo on the other hand boxed differently in the 2 fights and knows he can take GGG's power so it would be possible he could go in for the kill. However, he is coming off a loss where he was completely outboxed worse than he has been in years. He prides himself more on skill than ko power and with a Bivol rematch on deck, his most logical approach is to outbox, outspeed and outfox a one-foot-out-the-door Golovkin.

    I’m saying it’s going to look like Canelo vs Angulo all over again lol.

    Never said GGG would have to cheat just saying Ward uses his head often—LOL
