    How do you see it going ?
    I think it will be a barn burner for 6 rounds but think ggg will be too much.
    I rate canello above Jacobs but Jacobs used his height well,canello won't have that luxury,canello a skill set is vastly under rated tho imo even if his power won't be as prominent stepping up

    I think this is a 50-50 fight, it will depend on who prepares himself better for the fight and who makes
    the better adjustments.

    Golovkin is a pressure fighter, he has more punching power, a better jab and he cuts the ring of better.

    Canelo is a counterpuncher, he is a little bit faster and he has a really good defense but he is more flat-footed,
    usually fighters with better side to side movement like Daniel Jacobs have a better chance against elite
    pressure fighters like GGG.

    Overall i rate Canelo clearly above Daniel Jacobs, Canelo has a good skillset and he is still young and
    improving.

    I think this fight is going to be a war, Canelo has not the footwork to keep GGG off him for the entire
    fight, he is going to counter.

    I have GGG as the favorite but only slightly, i can see Canelo beating him as well.

    I think ggg will do everything he can to stop him,he usually does anyway but if this fight goes to points he'll have to score 5 knock downs to get a draw.
    I think ggg will break him up by the mid rounds,like you say I think canellos biggest problem in this match up will be his lack of mobility around the ring

    His lack of mobility will definitely be his biggest problem against GGG. My mind tells me that GGG will win this
    fight but my heart wants a close 50-50 fight no matter who wins, so i'm just hoping and expecting a great competitive fight.
