    Trying to box on the backfoot was a tactical error in the second fight. If a guy is going to come right at you, that kind of fight favors a slugger and GGG had his best success when he just let his hands go and punched.

    Definitely a nod and a wink at play

    He still has a lot more posing in the ring to do for free money.

    Not sure what the strategy was from GGG. Started far too late.

    Not much for him at 160, 2 belts, a couple of contenders. That’s about it.

    He should. Any other top guy he faces, he'll lose to them @ middleweight and maybe by TKO.

    GGG misunderstood the rules of the contest. He thought the first 8 rounds were an exhibition and the fight officially started in round 9. Could happen to anybody lol

    GGG won maybe 2 or 3 rounds, which is being generous to GGG. Round 9, maybe Round 10, maybe Round 12. That's about it. He did not win Round 1, as some have claimed. 115-113 is a ridiculous score. Even Mannix a GGG fanboy had Canelo up 8-0 and all 3 commentators were outraged by the close cards. This was a domination for most of the fight. 11-1 is not unreasonable. Round 9 was GGG's best round.

    All pro sports are rigged to a certain extent. Usually through the officiating.

    A fight with Eubanks jr is easy to do? Maybe if he fed ex's Eubanks a few boxes of pens.

    One last fight, this time in Kazakhstan in front of his people.
    Then hang me up. Would hate to see him end up under the ropes like Louis vs Marciano.

    I think we all do otherwise we probably wouldn't be fight fans :). I believe in the phrase ' you win the title in the ring, you lose the title in the ring' but not ' you win the title in the ring and lose the title in the ring and get hammered until dead'.
