    Beats the hell out of me, I guess they're gullible, I've written two extensive write ups about how overrated it is. His only legit KO's come against glass jawed guys that were brought in to be KO'd. He might have BJS like power at MW.:lol:

    wake him up and make him more cautious. it will take about a dozen of those punches to put ggg down the way khan went down. ggg took one of those square from geal and ko'ed him a millisecond after eating it.

    I got a feeling that this fight will go according to script

    That shot would just make GGG angry. And you don't want to make him angry.

    The ginger one is going to have a very painful time.

    golovkin has taken shots on the chin by lemeiux stevens and Jacobs and didn't even buckle these guys hit really hard its not everyday you spark stevens clean and also knock out quillin in 1 round. I still remember that left hook Jacobs landed on Golovkins chin and it didn't even have a effect dudes chin is cast iron.

    To be fair the top of the 160 pound division is stacked with guys who have monster power. Most divisions even the top guys don't have man after man after man who can bang like that. Jacobs, Lemiuex, GGG they're all massive bangers.

    Canelo tee'd off on Chavez for 12 rounds and couldn't stop him, did he even drop Chavez?
    His power in this fight will come from Bob Bennett and NSAC.

    Not having buckled before doesn't mean you won't buckled in the future when your resistance to being buckled has been reduced by repeated bludgeonings. How do you know if GGGs threshold wasn't lowered significantly during his last fight? Tyson's seems to have undergone sudden transformation. Soon bums were knocking him out or forcing him to quit where previously he had seemed totally impervious to hard punches. To know for certain we would need to test GGG by submitting him to the same blows he survived before to see if he can still survive them. Since that can't practically or ethically be done nor would GGG stupidly submit himself to such an experience, we are forced to simply wait and see. All claims till that time can be justifiably viewed as simply personal opinions many of which are motivated by wishful thinking..

    We never know anything for certain, but the smart money would be that Canelo wouldn't put him out with just one of those shots AND that Golovkin wouldn't put himself in position to be caught like that in the first place.

    That would assume that there is absolutely no evidence that GGG has ever been caught flush. Unfortunately there is plenty of evidence that he has been caught flush before and that the impossibility you suggest isn't an impossibility at all.

    Leaning in that way with Canelo wouldn't be a wise thing to do.

    Real talk here brother, that same punch would stagger most MW boxers today so if it lands like that one GGG will buckle and might even bend a knee

    This is Canelo's come to jesus fight. Whatever he's got in him GGG is gonna bring it out. Canelo has never been through the fire, he has never been busted up and tired with rounds to go and a relentless fighter at his ass. If he comes through with this fight, he gets all the props in the world from me, but I gotta see it.
