    I didn't have Canelo winning 10 rounds to 2. I had it about 8 rounds to 4. I gave GGG more credit then her, but not as much as the other judges.

    So first you say he was never fast to now saying he was fast but slowed down on purpose for the pros into a "stiff robot". Slowing down the pace for pros means less bouncing and more shot selection. However committed punches should still be as fast. His "haymakers" where he throws 100% would look the similar speed as the punch he knocked out Bute with if he haven't actually physically slowed down.

    With one look at his earlier pro fights you can see a lot more snap to his punches. Well, haters obviously refuse to acknowledge this.

    "Golovkin was never fast" lol. Like I said in my last comment, early pro career Golovkin had much more snap in his punches than 35+ year old Golovkin. He was also lighter on his feet and moved his head more.

    no they do not.

    well maybe today yes, but you have not considered the full potential of 3g.

    When he smashes elites this year and next by improving his game above canelo-level, then you will have proof that he smashes elites of yesterday too. Trust me, you will see this soon. 3G will smash three elites back to back any minute now.

    To be honest, Canelo. GGG is too one dimensional, he tends to slug too much and his defensive strategy is to block punches with his head. Canelo is just a nicer boxer, plus with his promoters strategy of shoving brown envelopes full of cash under the judges table, there wouldn’t be a middleweight in the world he’d loose to. Save maybe a knocker-outer like Monzon or Ray Robinson.

    Yh, and both would've gotten caught less by Golovkin than Canelo did. So two can play this game!

    The only problem with your silly argument, is that Canelo, nor Golovkin are anything that remotely resemble prime Roy Jones Jr. Thus, your entire point is irrelevant and moot!

    And Floyd was harder to hit than Toney ON THE OUTSIDE. On the inside, Toney > Floyd Mayweather in pretty much every way.

    Since when Jirov is better than GGG???

    KZ national trainers rate GGG higher than Jirov. Prime GGG is considered more talented fighter with better technical arsenal.

    PS: Jirov is great fighter and what I am trying to say that GGG is not worser than Jirov
