    I think this could go either way but i would lean towards GGG. But GGG has definitely not fought somebody in Canelo's league yet.

    it's too early for me to make a call, they've both looked vulnerable vs less than stellar opposition. both have looked like destroyers vs the same level as well. GGG has the better D and the bigger one punch but Canelo has the better offense, workrate and inside fighting and hits like a mule too. either canelo by ud or GGG by KO I guess. problem is canelo is improving and still a kid, GGG has most likely peaked in ability and doubt the old dog learns any new tricks at 30 with an extensive am background. i doubt these 2 will ever fight but if they do it'll be a few years in the future with an improved Canelo vs the exact same GGG so I'd edge Canelo. Right now gun to my head prediction- GGG by KO but not confident in it cause I think Canelo's chin isn't as shaky as some make it out to be, this is basically 50-50 for me with an old unproven commodity vs a young unproven commodity. the young has the bigger upside and will have a better career when alls said a done. as of right now neither ranks above the other p4p- same level of opposition looking equally impressive against them.

    GG shouldn't be in the same ring with Canelo who is a great talent.

    :lol:

    golovkin will lose at some point like all of the guys who comes to fukin fight like he does but not in this fight.

    Golovkin would be the man in that fight BRUTALLY knocking Canelo out.

    It was the point of the chin shot that hurt Canelo. Interesting he took the harder rights better.

    GGG would beat Canoelo, but Canelo is still young and improving with every fight.

    Canelo actually has some decent names on the list and has been trying to step up his competitioni. GGG career wise is where Alvarez was 2 years ago.

    Hmm Canelo was giving GGG Fits as a 20 year old in sparring Canelo keeps improving and physically becoming more of a beast while ggg has peaked and it it were to happen it would be a more experienced Alvarez at 160 by that point I'd favor Canelo but currently is 50/50 both have looked beast with the same level of opposition but canelos resume is better and has proved himself with all type of fighters ggg taking out euro tomotato cans.

    Good post.

    Would be a war though both fight in similar styles and their physical attributes makes them look like beasts.
