    That Saunders biggest fault,amazing boxer but I'm not sure he's right in his head?Under Ingle he was dedicated again but his natural inclination is to be a lazy sod and take on weight.

    Yes GGG loves those over hand temple shots. Reminds me a bit of Vitali who use to love targeting to the temple to completely destroy his opponent.

    Yoooo slow your role homie.
    He did look like a hot turd on a cold plate but he has been out of action and the gym for almost a year.

    I am certain that with discipline and hard, targeted training camps we can see a glimpse of the old GGG. I can say he will never be back to his old self but at least back up to 75% of his old self. At that point he can make a great living beating several guys except Big Red and Danny J

    yep they not by accident,thought it was odd that he didn't do any against Canelo.Could be the way to go against Canelo,moving target on the ropes so just throw em to land over the top somewhere?

    He did land them against Canelo, and like yourself, was surprised how well Canelo rode with them. This is why he deserves credit even though I thought he was the beneficiary of two robberies. He showed the heart of a lion, especially in the rematch when he stood toe to toe in the pocket with GGG.

    It could be like you said, due to him always being a moving target, whereas if he had planted his feet, the punch would be more effectively in de-stabilizing and scrambling his senses, which is the effect that shot usually brings.

    Yes he will still blow right through anybody outside the world top 10. So the whole demise thing is worded wrong. But he is 37 and he is not as good as he used to be, it's obvious. Everybody isn't as good as they once were when they reach 37. You can't reverse biology.

    PEDS just don't seem to help Clenbuterol's stamina issues. I believe GGG will ktfo of RX Canelo in the third fight. WAR GGG.

    Canelo beats Golovkin clearly in a third fight.

    Given how hittable GGG looked on Saturday, he might even win by stoppage.

    Golovkin has fought considerably less rounds in the pros than Canelo, Mayweather, Pacquiao, and he also started fighting pro a lot later in life.... Just food for thought.

    Testament to his standards that at 75% he's still good enough to beat most and be competitive with the best who are young and prime.A 100% younger GGG never even lost rounds,let alone look like losing.
    're him now and retiring,if he were losing rounds,getting beat up then maybe so but he isn't doing that and his last fight with Canelo he did well enough for the media and fans to call it controversial.

    I don't understand why Russians and Eastern Europeans fight so long at amateur level?Lomochenko,Golovkin and Usyk is no spring chicken either.It's like they're trying to squeeze in as much as they can get from their late twenties into their thirties.I don't get it to be honest.

    Lol we always say this about Canelo,convinced he would stop Jacob's but he let me down.I've said the same about Canelo v Golovkin 3 but it's likely to be another 12 rounds and let's be honest Canelo didn't look great in the 2nd half of the Jacob's fight?so for me Golovkin will likely be very competitive again.
    Noticeable the other day that Golovkin wasn't really boxing has he calls it,wasn't getting behind that jab like he would against Canelo.
