Did any of you Golovkin fans predict before the first fight that Golovkin won't KO Canelo Alvarez?

Point is, you shouldn't make a positive claim (Golovkin would KO Canelo Alvarez or it's impossible to lick one's elbow) unless you've done full research and have sufficient knowledge. If you do, then you better stick to your words and be consistent with your narrative / argument, or be considered a hypocrite.

If you don't know whether it's possible to lick one's elbow, then don't make the positive claim that it is impossible. Likewise, if you haven't done enough research, then don't make the prediction that Golovkin would KO Canelo Alvarez. And if you do make that prediction, be prepared to be consistent with your narrative after their fight, whatever the result may be.

And ignorance is not a valid excuse! Since Canelo Alvarez has had over 40 bouts. Which are enough bouts for someone to establish how good his durability and defensive skills are. This is a guy who has never been dropped before, or has barely even been badly hurt before. And has taken on elite opponent after elite opponent, beating most of them.

So based on the above information, it's BLATANTLY evident how good Canelo's durability and defensive skills are. Since he's proven it over 40 bouts. So ignorance can't be used as an excuse. Especially in the 21st century which is the digital, information age where information is available to all of us through the internet by the click of our hands, accessible in merely seconds.

And if you've done your research, then you would have known just how good Canelo's defensive skills and durability are. Whilst if you haven't, then you are in no position to make any prediction, without exposing yourself as a TOTAL and an UTTER idiot first.

If you've done the research and still think Golovkin would've KO'ed Canelo Alvarez, despite the huge evidence pointing to how good Canelo's defense and durability has been proven to be, then either admit you are a TOTAL idiot for being wrong, or at least have the decency to be consistent by claiming Golovkin lacked punching power / boxing skills, to avoid hypocrisy, instead of making a random U-turn and all of a sudden, claiming Canelo Alvarez has a solid chin and excellent defensive skills, when you weren't crediting Canelo for those attributes pre-fight.

 

No! But I get to call you a hypocrite when you act like one and when you fulfill the definition / criteria of one.

I haven't made any U-Turn. Me making a U-turn would be me claiming Povetkin had no chance against David Price before their fight, and then me giving Povetkin no credit for beating Price, even though my prediction turned out to be wrong. That's not the case here! Since even though I was wrong, I gave IMMENSE credit to Povetkin for being able to perform a feat that I didn't believe he could after he proved me wrong.

Where as you on the other hand, are doing the total opposite. Initially claiming Golovkin would KO Canelo Alvarez before their fight, totally disrespecting and disregarding Canelo Alvarez's durability and defensive skills then. Whilst also disregarding Golovkin's old age then. But when Golovkin fails to get the KO, rather than totally reassessing Golovkin's boxing skills and punching power, you are hypocritically NOW claiming Canelo's defensive skills and durability was good, as if that's the narrative you held all along, when it's not the case.

Not the same at all whatsoever! A false equivalence from your behalf!
