    No, Floyd's legacy is secured by the McGregor win last month. He's a step ahead of GGG always.
    GGG doesn't have a win over McGregor and I doubt he ever will.

    I think Alvarez is going to land a lot in this fight. He cracks hard enough to keep guys honest.

    because its a none existent weight class made up to suit Canelo. How's that for an answer? ;)

    A catch weight to which both fighters agree? I have heard Canelo being repeatedly criticized for always fighting at catch weights.

    The problem GGG faces is that he fights in a way which Canelo feels very comfortable in. That means that if he fights as usual he will be stylistically creating a Canelo combinational counter-punching comfort zone. So if GGG is smart he won't be so eager to play that game.

    I wonder if any of the ABC's ever introduce a "Caneloweight" division and have a belt for the champion of said division? :lol:

    Canelos neck is built to take those heavy shots from GGG, But i also believe hes going to make GGG miss, and miss alot with his outstanding slipping ability! Cant wait!

    Because it's not a real weight class, wasn't sure if you were being serious.

    Canelo has a very tough task in front of him. GGG is a monster puncher who effectively applies intelligent pressure behind a ramrod jab and is an extremely dangerous counterpuncher. Like Duran, he's most effective applying pressure and doing his best work countering shots.

    The generic term is this is the boxer vs. the puncher, but GGG has good technical skills.

    Alvarez fights at a measured pace and has slow feet and modest power. Since he has slow feet, maybe the best thing is to clinch timely and effectively. Also, since GGG has a very good chin, Canelo should go for the body. Obviously he will have to pick the right times to do it and risk getting countered upstairs.

    I hope it's a good fight, so I don't want to see GGG win in an early stoppage or a fairly tame fight in which Canelo goes into a shell after tasting GGG's power. And if Canelo surprises me and wins, I hope it's through a struggle and a tough fight. I don't want to see either fighter have an easy time.

    Kinda like lara made canelo look like an amatuer. except for ggg knows how to cut off the ring and has alot better timing and balance then canelo.
    Canelo will suffer the same fate as oscar in the bhop fight and mexican independence day will be celebrated as GGG day in the usa. Karma for all those gift decisions canelo recieved.
    Bhop paid back oscar for the sweet pete robbery and for him lying about giving him a rematch. GGG will pay back canelo for his robbery dec vs larry mosley, trout, and lara.
    Erie how history will repeat itself.
