    The thing is, Golovkin doesn't have the handspeed to throw Canelo type combinations and be effective. Golovkin really picks his shots, but yeah I guess you can put combination as another attribute.

    :good

    :p I don't see Canelo lasting 8 rounds,

    maybe... maybe 4 or 5 at best.

    :D If Canelo steps into the ring instead of surrendering the belt, I think GGG stalks him down with a vengeance, NO MERCY.

    ;)

    Canelo has guts and some defensive skills but he would be sitting duck for Golovkin. Footwork would be his downfall and Golovkin jab would be on his face all night. After couple of rounds Golovkin would go to the body and break him down.

    golovkin, who doesn't exactly float like a bee, would turn cement foot canelo all night long.

    Someone who can actually move their damn head and use a jab effectively? Canelo has a great chance. However, I'd still favor GGG. Don't forget that Canelo will have 5 less pounds to cut at 160 so expect for his stamina to improve at least naturally.

    Alvarez would murder him. Golovkin has no defense and only an attack, though dangerous but not on world class level.
