    In my lifetime I can recall off hand only one occasion where a 36+ year old fighter has beaten a p4p fighter in their prime. And that was Hopkins beating Trinidad. And that fight has size differences not present in GGG vs Canelo.

    My heart says GGG, but history says Canelo.

    Hopkins also beat prime versions of Tarver, Pavlik, and Pascal.

    And what size difference did Hopkins-Trinidad have that was not present from Golovkin-Canelo?

    Hopkins is bigger than GGG and Canelo is bigger than Tito.

    Tarver may have been rated p4p and maybe Pavlik was too, but then Pavlik was boozer who drank away his prime. And Tarver was a one hit wonder who knocked out a drained and old RJJ.

    But my overall point remains that it's pretty much impossible for a guy GGGs age to beat a p4p fighter in their prime. Its rarely happened throughout history.

    All GGG needs to do is change the trajectory of his straight right or right hook or catch Canelo on the button with an uppercut, as he's spinning out along the ropes, those two punches were there for him throughout the first fight, if he makes those adjustments, he takes it by KO. I figured Abel and GGG most likely saw that too, and judging by the Vanes fight, I can pretty much guarantee it.

    It wasn’t there in the first fight and oh how those left hooks to the body would’ve helped.

    If Clenelo looks like skinny snack like he did before his obvious juicing, and there is evidence in photos out there, GGG is gonna kill him.

    I don't pay too much attention to alt accounts, I pretty much ignore them, so I can't think of a specific name off the top of my head, Tomato(e) can was definitely an alt account though. A lot of the GGG fanatics have alt accounts though, especially the racist ones that continuously get banned. Of course they are not the only ones, but its mainly the trolls who get banned that have alts.

    You do know that Mods have the power to reveal Alts if they wish. Or al least we did on the old Prodigy internet many moons ago
