    Who you with? Canelo is still the A-side, remember that.

    Really interesting match up. Golovkin was weaponless in the third Alvarez fight until Canelo ran out of energy in round nine. At that time GGG was finally able to get to Alvarez. On the other hand, by the time the Crawford fight came along Alvarez was pretty much shot the whole fight just as he was the fight before against William Scull.

    Golovkin wins this via comfortable decision, 116-112.

    That G had nothing left. Its the only real victory Canelo got over him.

    Shot Canelo vs shot GGG. At this point, I will take Golovkin because he was actually able to turn it around late, whereas Canelo just got outhustled all night. On the other hand if Canelo looks brilliant in his next fight then maybe it was Crawford being too much for him simple as that. But I'm thinking ginger is cooked right now.

    Realistically Canelo. GGG never beat him, Canelo will get the decision, but he doesn't need a robbery here, GGG was too shot

    The only thing i completely disagree with you on is "GGG" never beat him. Of coarse GGG beat him and everybody knows it. Canelo beat him once when GGG was 40.

    GGG had 3 tries, and he failed all times. Not sure what's gonna change here.

    Getting robbed in the first fight is not the same as failing.

    Canelo still had a lot more left, I think he can still beat world champions today, Golovkin was done. I can’t remember how I had the actual fight, probably at best, I give this Canelo 8-4 but realistically wider.

    It is to the Canelo fan! They will take that win any way they can get it, then rub it in her face.

    Canelo by close decision. He's a bit past it but Bud may have made him look worse due to styles.

    Canelo beats GGG on the judges scorecards no matter how much Canelo gets battered. In reality, this would be a sad and pointless boxing match.
