    It would seem the odds are stacked heavily in Canelo's favor at this point. How do you see this playing out?

    Canelo eating nine pounds of beef per day, for weeks leading up to the fight. As he makes his ring walk, a strong tainted musk comes off him and his hair line is noticeably thinner in the areas he hasn't had professionally touched up.

    GGG jabs well and tries his best but by round six he is down by score of 120-108 on two of the three judges scorecards and 118-110 on the third. GGG decides to go for broke and gets knocked down as the ref waves it off.

    Canelo then hulk rages and Zab Judahs the ref for no reason. Security bum rushes the ring, frantically trying to subdue the midget ginger hulk but Canelo golotas their testicles.

    Canelo then retires. They build a monument to those who lost thier nuts at this tragic event.

    Klitschko with Joshua was even older and he almost won.

    Unfortunately, I see GGG as a semi-shot fighter and Clenelo will be punching much harder than he was at 168. 168 for GGG is a complete unknown and he might be even slower if he weighs in at the limit.

    Clenelo by KO.

    The only worst outcome is if Clenelo forces GGG to quit.

    It’s hard to say. It can probably go either way although I do favor Canelo slightly. He has the most physical advantages, yet the most weaknesses to exploit.

    The fight is definitely more pressuring for Canelo. Imagine if he loses the fight due to GGG pulling out a stoppage. He’d have a second defeat in a row against yet another guy who Canelo was favorited to win handily against. That would possibly shatter whatever confidence and star power Canelo has left. He knows this. I think the thought of that running through his head the whole fight will make him cautious because GGG is one of the few guys he’s ever fought who has the power to legitimately hurt him should he make a mistake.

    GGG on the other hand I think will be more likely to let his hands go because he has little of nothing to lose and he has one big blueprint to help: the Bivol fight. He’s at a disadvantage when it comes to speed and possibly endurance due to his age, but on the other hand he’s also one of the few people who’s ever gotten off clean counters on Canelo. I expect that to be about the same as before, if not more so because Bivol showed how one can counter/nullify Canelo. If GGG adds that to his game plan, then he might can even the odds.

    I am picking Canelo by KO but, in answer to your thread question, Golovkin certainly has a chance. The man is an ATG and still has great power and heart.

    Premature. The funds haven't cleared yet, but the laminate machine is at the ready.

    I hope Canelo wins by KO so you people can STFU. Been ruining this forum the past half decade with this robbery bs when there's been worse scorecards throughout boxing history.

    Couldn’t believe when I realised today that the second fight was 4 years ago!

    let’s hope for a conclusive end this time around,

    Given GGG got hosed the first two fights he would need to really beat the snot outta pedboy to have any chance. He won't win on the cards.

    GGG has a lot of chance. His recent performances have been over criticized and you know he's coming in with special motivation and nothing to lose.

    There was probably a worse robbery than calling the first fight a draw that weekend or any other weekend, but 118-110 was a special moment in terrible judging.

    It's a shame that it alienates so many fans from one of the best and most active fighters in the sport but I get the anger.
