    I'd probably give Khan 3/4 rds before he got starched.
    Golovkin doesn't have the speed or defense of Alvarez but he has more power* and better footwork say GGG takes more ****s but catches up a round or 2 earlier.

    Different strengths and weaknesses.

    if u watch GGG/Lemieux, it will tell you that GGG can play a defensive game if someone bum rushes him like Lemieux did. I'm assuming that Canelo will come to him.

    Well, I don't know, GGG first professional fight in the US was in 2012 Canelo turned 20 in 2010 and at that time he had at least 36 professional fights under his belt. It's the way you phrased the sentence that suggests Canelo sparred with GGG when he ( Canelo ) was only 20 years old. Tyson was 20 when he won the title, Ali was 22 and they were knocking out monsters. Hell, Wilfred Benitez was only 17 and had won three world titles. Canelo don't have to stay at 160 but being that he's claiming to be middle weight champion, he could at least get the biggest payday in his life and then move on. Actually, I would love to see him step into that 154 division because there is some real work waiting on him if he wants it.

    No doubt as Alvarez has not faced a true MW puncher before Golden Boy will be utilising the services of Lemeuix for sparring puposes...just have to make sure Lemeuix doesn't scare Alvarez in the lead up Lol

    Canelo is a massive disgrace to boxing.

    Yes this, & GGG vs Kirkland.
    2 common opponents to truly & properly hype this potentially awesome fight!

    The way Hearns KO'd Duran was more impressive than Alvarez could ever do...

    I'm not surprised in the least that you couldn't pick up canelo setting khan up the whole time. Canelo landed every single meaningful shot in that fight. Khan barely landed 15 clean shots, schooled ? I saw canelo outbox khan, set him up and khtfo

    He hasn't got hit by heavier guys yet though. He's been fighting smaller guys at his own weight class. He has easily outweighed any fighter he has fought

    Hearns didn't set sh!t up, he just caught duran jumping in head first. Canelo spent a couple rounds studying a fighter that was supposed to be 10x faster, but timing always trumps speed.

    And khan doesnt have the kind of speed needed to deal with canelo, after round 2 who beat who to the punch every single time ? Go investigate and learn some shat. I'm lost too, i might not even be in the right thread. Doesn't matter, what i say is always dead on accurate, every single thing..

    How the **** do i know everything, wish i wasnt a washed up man ,well, just past prime. Brain is still too sharp to deal with most

    Where did I say hearns feinted first ?? You must have watched differnt fight old fella no way did Duran jump in head first ,nor would he, Hearns backs Duran onto the ropes throws a left to the body then right hook to the head & down goes duran...just watch it again ..properly this time!


    What I have written above is different to your recollection so clearly you DO NOT know everything & your brain is far from being sharp ...delusional seems more appropriate....ol Fella :hi:
