Seems to me he is a much better fighter now, and way more aggressive, walking guys down and he is way better with his energy management and shot selection.
Absolutely, beating GGG gave Canelo much more confidence. After he beat the big bad boogeyman, who else out there is tougher than GGG?
Hell yeah. Golovkin has the confidence knowing he won at least one of those fights. This fight has to happen.
I'm sure they did. Standing in there with GGG and taking his shots without ever being seriously hurt in a real battle has to give you confidence. He's also improved his punch technique as well; turns them over more, doesn't cuff with the hook to the head or body as much.
Yes. Also even vs Kovalev. While I do not gave him credit cos Kovalev really was over the hill, shot and had been almost finished by Yarde, brutally beated up by Eleider ( he put on him beat up Kov never ever still had in his life anymore ).
Yes. You learn from your mistakes and by practicing. Fighting Floyd and GGG elevated Canelo's game. This is why the best need to fight the best. THEY GET BETTER!
Canelo took Golovkin's best shots and survived the pressure of a feared opponent. It was evident he came out of that fight more confident and better. He is a beast now and he will rule boxing for a few years to come. Weather we like it or not. We should give him credit.
He can't rule all boxing, no one can do this. Never. For a lot of weight classes he is too large, if he will attempt to make weight, he might get in coffin. Do you think he might make even 126 lbs weight in limit or beat top CW dudes or HW boxers? For sure he is good boxer but he never even had in the ring boxers like Gvozdyk, 30-35 y.o Beterbiev at 175 lbs. Kovalev, Sir, please be realistic. CW? In U.K with british ref and Okolie in eddie promotion? Makabu? Briedis? Okey, he might maybe start with fights vs Tabiti and Dorticos, these are in U.S, currently doesn't have belts and therefore might be cheaper to book to fight with. For test.
