    Said it on a live interview through Ellie Sechbacks stream.

    Interesting if he does try to box more. I feel his best chance is to try to bully and rough up the smaller Canelo.

    Or is he just saying that, why reveal the gameplan?

    Ggg likes to keep you at the end of his punches anyways.

    Smaller? Canelo is shorter, but he's thicker, more muscular, and looked to be about 185-190 pounds on the night.

    That is accurate. Canelo is built like a young Mike Tyson short, stocky, and muscular. The only difference is obviously power and stamina. Good observation There Will Be Blood.

    I honestly hope GGG is speaking the truth. I really hope he boxes more, jabs more and uses his feet more.

    Canelo didn't stand and fight like the Mexican Warrior he claims to be last time and Canelo fans said "he was smart" so nobody can give Golovkin any abuse for boxing this time around if he does.

    I think GGG will stick to the same game plan. It worked well enough for him in the first fight.

    Barkley said he was going to box Hearns in the rematch, and he came right at him.

    Canelo doesn't have to fight the way anybody wants him to fight. When any of the forum members step foot in the ring and trade blows with GGG without dying, then that type of garbage can be said. Truth is it wouldn't be considered a very good fight if Canelo didn't stand and fight like you're insisting.

    Rookie boxing fans.

    Muscular doesn't mean bigger all the time.

    Best example was a roided muscular Mosley vs Winky. Winky was the bigger stronger fighter despite not being as buff.

    Well enough to get a draw.

    No GGG. No no no. Please just knock him out cleanly and utterly so we don't have these sort of conversations anymore .

    According to the judges, yes.

    You didn't think GGG lost did you?

    I doubt if he will seriously set out to outbox Canelo. But wouldn't surprise me to see him take a more measured approach than last time.
