Canelo was just warming up against a mobile Khan, working his bodt well to set him up by going to the head, different class.
Pacquiao will light up GGG. Possibly even cut him as GGG lumps up easily these days. Hell, Pac might even hurt him. But GGG will eventually land and KO Pac.
It doesn’t take 5-6 rounds to “warm up”. Truth is Khan didn’t see what Canelo was trying to do, so he couldn’t avoid it for 12 rounds. Pac will most probably will. As did Cotto.
Canelo has improved since his fight with Khan and is punching harder, he would destroy Manny at 160, Khan wasn`t landing that much and he started to take shots to the body, he was always quite easy to hit, always making those errors.
Why are we entertaining the idea of this fight when super-welterweight was too big for Pac? Because Freddy misspoke in an interview and mentioned GGG's name that, when the interviewer followed up, he immediately shot it down? Seriously, can we stop with this nonsense?
I'm not a ggg nuthugger by any means but how did his performance against canelo make you rate him any less?
Just want to add: this fight seems to be talked about a lot. That means that some people are pushing it. The only reason it would happen is for 2 big names to meet up and make lots of $$$. There's no way is would be fair for Pacman to come up to 160 and fight a monster puncher like GGG. And likewise, Golovkin is getting old and will have major problems in draining down to a "fair" weight for Pacquiao. I said this about Floyd / GGG and I say this about MP vs GGG as well. They are too far apart in weight to have a meaningful or fair fight. I don't want to see Pacman getting his head caved in by Golovkin at 160 any more than I want to see a mummified GGG getting lit up by Manny at 154 or whatever catchweight they agree on.
