    Canelo started his career as 147 lbs (or even 140 lbs) and is writing history at 168 lbs. He beats fighters at their comfort zones. He will move up to 175 lbs and continue to write history.

    Golovkin started his career as 160 lbs and is still 160 lbs. He couldn't beat Canelo legitimately "at his own comfort zone". He watches hentai with Murata in Japan. He is waiting for his retirement fight from anime merchant Murata.

    Does Canelo really deserve all these insults because of GGG? Is GGG worthy for all of them? I think nope.

    Golovkin turned pro far later and was clearly never a massive weight drainer, that's why he wasn't at 147. He could clearly have drained down at a very young age and still drained through his 20s if he had the right 'help'. He's only 5'10.

    Also because he doesn't PED like Canelo, he did not go up in weight classes to miraculously KO everyone even easier than at lower weights, and bulk up while miraculously gaining more endurance, breaking the laws of natural biology in the process.

    Golovkin never ducked Canelo, but Canelo has ducked a middle-aged Golovkin for multiple stretches. If Canelo really thought he was superior, he'd never have ducked Golovkin and he'd want to stamp his authority on that series, which currently reads as a draw and a narrow win on paper, hardly a decisive result. And in reality, everyone knows Golovkin at least won the first and has an argument for the second too.

    Imagine you're Canelo, and you know people think Golovkin beat you maybe twice, but at least once, and so you've only tied the series at best. Imagine thinking you're p4p but you don't want to try to KO a 40 year old Golovkin and at least give the illusion you are better. The guy is utterly terrified of losing to Golovkin.

    It's confirmed @Mighty DKSAB.:duh not surprising from a trollo account.

    Just to educate you.

    Golovkin started as Welterweight winning his first amateur gold in Osaka Japan in 2001 when he was 19 old. Two years later he was ktfo Bute , froche's best win with a headgear. :boxing1

    Difference is Canelo would kill to have GGG's resume.

    Trouble with most brilliant insights with Canelo is that you have to pretend he legitimately beat Golovkin, ignoring all the drama, bullshirt and diva antics surrounding it, and thus being somehow superior.
    The thing that Golovkin is always being brought up for the comparison, like in this case, tells you that it's still (and will probably always be) a huge stain and asterisk on Canelo's resume. Even more as the obvious juicing.
    And then the "beating fighters at their comfort zones" makes this complete... When did he ever fight a fighter in their confort zone post Floydweather?! He constantly has dictated catch-weights (even basically created his own weightclass), rehydration restrictions, his referee, judges, venue, at the time of his choosing. When did he ever have a fight over in Europe, while no less than 10 of his last 12 fights were against European boxers? Their confortzone?! :dunno

    Technically Canelo started his career at 140 pounds. He had 2 fights at that weight before going up to 147 lbs.

    Every living body gg has fought is either a defeat (canelo), a blatant robbery (derevianchenko) or a dubious victory (jacobs). The rest are german tomato cans nonstop for years and years and years....

    GGG was campaigning at 141 when he was 18 y/o and here he is at 15 weighing even less than that

    Down at featherweight allegedly

    This content is protected


    He turned pro at 24 not 15

    Clenelo was coming in as high as 172 and 174 down at 154 and 155 aka Clenelo Weight 7-8 years ago and he obviously weighed even more than that when he finally managed to summon the courage to move up to 160 to face GGG and he's obviously even bigger than that now since the second fight when he started hitting the juice hard and he looks as wide as he is tall these days

    Many of his fellow multiple weight champs have also popped dirty too

    GGG's average fight night weight has been a very consistent 170 throughout his career

    With the exception of the Mayweather fight, Canelo has probably entered the ring heavier than Golovkin has EVER entered the ring, for every fight he’s had since 2012/2013ish.

    Canelo has been a bigger/heavier guy than GGG for the entirety of their respective adult lives.

    Clenelo has herpes and a very tiny pecker (he beat up a FLYWEIGHT for smashing his girlfriend).

    And Clenelo uses PEDs (and not just Viagra).

    Yeah, the PED abuse by Canelo is what separates them. And he still got beat by GGG in the first fight, and drew with him for the second. So, STFU and keep learning.

    Canelo lost twice to GGG and it wasn't even close. 8-4 and 9-3, so you can get lost!!!
