    Benavidez said Golovkin was the hardest hitter he ever sparred without any hesitation. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    I forgot about that annoying moron!
    That introduction for a weigh in was ridiculous.
    I thought he was gonna be out of action for many years after the worst motorcycle accident known to man. 2 minutes later he's back as annoying as ever.
    Let's hope they have Buffer announcing main event

    Ward and his fans are jealous of Golovkin.

    I think Golovkin will come into the ring fightnight at about 178lbs and Canelo at about 183lbs. I thought Golovkin might have came in fight night vs Murata at about 175lbs, because he has gotten so muscular the last couple years,but i might be wrong. So im guessing he will put on 10lbs or less. As for Canelo, i think he will gain about 15 lbs, so he might come in at about 183lbs. Thats a guess of coarse.

    GGG will stand right in front of Canelo`s power shots, Canelo couldn`t hit Bivol.

    And who the hell were they? He has never knocked out a super middle in a world title fight.

    I don’t know who he’s sparred, but his pro record is pretty lacking in heavy hitters sans Lemieux. Doesn’t exactly mean a whole bunch.


    Yeah dude, I know, lol. I was just too lazy to use the capital/lowercase sarcasm text.

    How do you think Canelo is getting away juicing? The testing isn't ever even brought up anymore that i can see. To me he seems like he is on something, even his personality is different.

    I understand what your saying....Lance Armstrong got away with it his whole career. I think only the sloppy get caught to be fair these days.

    Golovkin is going to jab Canelo's head off before before taking him out. Canelo has got used to the Plant's and Saunders types, this is GGG we're talking about. That's what i hope of coarse, this fight is more of a 50/50 fight to me.
    Canelo has become more powerful at supermiddle somehow. I thought he looked his best vs Callum Smith,he looked ruthless and unstoppable. He also made easy work of Yildrim who fought life and death with Anthony Dirrell. He looked just ok against Saunders and Plant, although what he did with one punch to Saunders was freightening .They were both tricky fighters which causes Canelo some problems understandably.Bivol was all the above,big, strong, tricky, aggresive when needed and extremly confident. Bivol was dominating the top light heavyweights, i had no doubt he would defeat Canelo.
    As for Golovkin, i thought he looked fine, just not active enough and was getting adjusted to his new trainer, also he a allegedly sick vs Derevyanchenko. Against Szeremeta he looked excellent, he was getting used to Banks style, but Szeremeta was not much of a test. I think Golovkin is now comfortably with Banks style and ready to test it in the big time.
    Golovkin is at a different level than the other fighters Canelo has faced. He has a better jab and twice the power of the other apponents. His punches may come at Canelo in ways Canelo don't expect, which will give GGG a better chance at hurting him. I think if GGG hurts him this time he might finish him.
    Canelo might be more insecure than he's making himself out to be. If Canelo get's seriously hurt, he may come unraveled with all the pressure he put on himself.
    Golovkin has shown some vulnerabllity to the body, but i suspect that going to 168lbs will strengthen him.

    Though coming off a stoppage win against Ryota Murata, that is of nil significance when going up a division to face Saul Canelo Alvarez in a trinity fight at 40 years old.

    Canelo is a much better fighter now than he was when the pair first met at middleweight in the same Las Vegas arena five years ago.
