    Leonard vs Hearns II was much more fun to watch than GGG vs Canelo II.

    :rolleyes:

    You've only seen the 2 Canelo fights then. Golovkin has ALWAYS used space to negate an opponent's attack. That's exactly how he fought in his early days and how he often fights regardless.

    Here he is doing the same vs Proksa:

    Good example. Proksa was gutsy, trying to slot in lead uppercuts against GGG is risky, he couldn't because GGG was stepping back. Macklin noted it too when he fought him "he takes that little step back when your coming forward at times and it throws you, and hes already in a position to throw as your getting ready"..Very underrated footwork Golovkin, I see some on here saying how he cuts the ring off well and its true, but its his footwork in general that's excellent

    I was rooting for triple G because I wanted to see a MW above the rest, but I don’t even know how you can score it for him?

    Canelo landed more powershot, landed more body shots, controlled the tempo and pace where GGG, landed the crispier shots, landed the better combinations, walked forward and even backed up GGG.

    GGG landed more jabs? Is this how we score fights, whoever lands the most jabs?

    He didn't say he would beat Tyson.

    He said he had that kind of " I could lick anyone in the house" champion mentality and that he would have it until he died. Obviously an 85 year old SRL wouldn't actually pick himself over prime tyson.

    Ray has always sidled up to big money. It's why he is commentating now. He knows how to play the game.

    I like Leonard. Especially his last fight with Hector Camacho.

    Good for Sugar Ray, I disagree and say Golovkin won both fights, take that Canelo fans.

    It's beyond obvious Golovkin won both fights. Most people see it like that.
