    Lol no wonder guys like Froch said keep clear of him,who else can you think of whose held to such lofty standards where his opponents get credit for going twelve rounds?
    Heck Danny Jacobs sank to his knees after surviving twelve rounds in a competitive fight.

    Also I don’t remember any other boxer who felt like he couldn’t win on points and probably needs a knockout to win.

    Esp when it’s the total opposite to how they normally fight.Canelo is known for being an aggressive come forward fighter and against Golovkin he for the majority on the back foot.

    I am not sure what I see. I know Canelo is the guy who is quicker, so he is the guy who has to make adjustments since I think he is the variable maybe. GGG has to be more aggressive than last time if he wants to win and he will have to take some punches to win. It is a gamble. Remember Hagler vs. Hearns? Marvin went at Tommy and took chances and got hit but won, it was a gamble. They can blame Canelo all the time for not fighting, but GGG was the guy who was supposed to blast him out and he didn't. So it is on GGG and not Canelo to fight more. The more gamble GGG takes the more he can win spectacularly but the more he can be hit clean. If he wants to swing for the fences and take clean punches it could be a legendary fight and a great win for him.. Or it could backfire. But will GGG gamble.

    That’s a great breakdown and you’re right,for all Canelos running it was Golovkins reluctance to gamble that cost him.

    Thank you. That was when Hearns put his left jab to Duran's stomach and came up with the right hand. He called it a fadeaway right hand. That was Hearns move many times. Distract with the left and land the right. Working the jab to the body and head.

    Yes, I think had GGG been aggressive Canelo would have had to punch more, but he could counter more and move the way he did because GGG was not too aggressive.
