    I mean I’m a huge Golovkin fan (I’m half Kazakh) and obviously he is an idol for me, but I don’t believe that in real life superheroes are exist. Of course in each sport there are better individuals than others, but no one is a God.
    GGG-Jacobs was a very close fight, once he knocked Jacobs down but he couldn’t finish him.
    GGG-Canelo also a close fight, I agree that Canelo was very defensive, but he couldn’t even hurt the Mexican.
    Golovkin is the best middleweight, he won the first fight, he has a top chin, but all these stories that “He dropped Kovalev, he hits like a heavyweight, he knocks out sparring partners with jabs, he is going to knock out Canelo this time because he is angry” are Andersen tales.
    The rematch will go to the distance again, and that’s how they see it at the betting sites also.

    I just think he was naive enough to think he Box Canelo to a decision and all things being equal he did,this time he’s gonna do that Kell Brook st fighting thing and risk getting floored himself.
    Check out Artorias boxing latest vid about Golovkins jab in that fight,lol anyone who says Golovkin did nothing are tripping as Canelo was eating jabs all night.

    Yeah man I know. GGG just looks “simple”, but he was a World Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist as an amateur, he definitely knows how to box, he is not only a brawler.

    You are right. Super heroes don’t exist but we all sort of wish they did. I don’t believe any of those gym stories either. He does hit hard though. There was an interview where Canelo gave his power 9/10. Why would he lie? It’s just harder to score KOs against better fighters.

    You gotta land flush for your power to really count. GGG is a bit slow so these guys are able to avoid that.

    Dude. Make it easy on yourself. Occam's Razor; if those 2 (of 457.3526 total opponents) were able to take the punches, they probably have chins of appropriate resistance to be competitive at that level. Fukken guys try to make rocket science of it. Holy ****.

    As much as some commend GGG for taking this https://i.imgur.com/68PSYAC.mp4 it's easy to forget that Canelo got hit with this. https://i.imgur.com/h4Qhzvy.mp4 I don't think it going to be a stoppage for either side. It's probably, unfortunately going to the judges.

    Both were better boxers than his prior opponents, both younger too.. Skill can negate power. However, you can clearly see it was still there by the fact that they were fighting off the back foot for large periods... & Jacobs definitely tasted it!

    Margins narrow as u step up! U can't KO everyone... GGG can box too!!

    obviously because its the first time he fought top world class (or above) fully prime fighters.

    Since he won the title in 2014 it is what is expected of him, so whats the deal?

    Whilst being on decline himself.
    Plus you can’t take away the obvious advantages both of them secured for themselves. Undisclosed fight night weight and possible use of PEDs

    na hes not been declining until this year. he fought those guys in his prime.

    nor other advantages, other advantages dont suddenly become options ONLY when you are fighting world class primes first time.
