    About the same. GGG maybe slightly ahead.

    I think GGG hurt Canelo in their second fight so you could argue for him on that basis. Then again, Golovkin hits harder than virtually anybody Canelo has been tagged by, so there's also that.

    Top shelf mandibles from both.

    Both have titanium in their chins. GGG probably has the better one, albeit by a little. If I were to rate them (no homo).

    Canelo 9/10, Golovkin 10/10.

    Canelo was on queerstreet from a single Cotto left hook.
    Back in 2010.

    10 years ago, pre-clen, pre Roids and cycling, his beard was 7/10.
    Now it's up there in the 9s.

    GGG is 10*.
    Probably the top 10 ATG beards to ever grace our sport.

    Draw vs each other.

    Edge to triple G vs other comp,
    As Nelo was rocked by Cotto’s brother as a pup 4ever ago.

    *thing is the Eastern Europeans spend along time in the amateurs wearing head gear.
    So who knows if GGG might have been rocked as a pup without headgear as well.

    Only ever seen both rocked once

    Canelo by cotto and ggg by some randomer very briefly....both have ridiculous chins tbhim more inclined to say ggg because canelo rarely takes a shot clean and turns with them really well whereas golovkin is more likely to have caught one flush

    Both have 10/10 chins.
    Some of the best of all time.

    GGG with a slightly better mandible, he's never been hurt once in his career.
    GGG hurt Canelo twice in the 2nd fight
