Why don't people bring up Canelo being young vs GGG

Not sure why people keep repeating this, Canelo had been the WBC 154 champion for 2 years with 6 defences, as well as the unified WBC/WBA/Ring champion by the time Floyd fought him, inexperience is not an excuse.

And neither is age, because I know I'd rather be young, undefeated and fresh (as Canelo was), rather than a 36 year old former super featherweight and far past my prime (as Floyd was).

 

I don't really think he has. Regardless I'm not willing to make excuses for a 27 year old with 10 years of high level pro experience.

 

Don't G have like 400 fights?

 

You including amateur in that?

 

Yea they always include it with Loma

 

Both fighters looked better in the first 2 fights than the 3rd. You aren't pre prime if you were better than than you are now.

 

Who's they? And I thought we were on about Golovkin?

Have you quoted the wrong poster?

I said Canelo wasn't considered preprime because he'd already unified one division been a lineal champ in the MW division and had fought more fights than Golovkin as well as had a longer career than Golovkin.

 

He was not pre prime lol. He just showed us he was post prime his last few fights.

 

Since when is a 27 year old long time champ "PRE-PRIME"

What is happening here

 

LOL Canelo wasn't green when he fought Floyd either. 43 fights, JMW champ, 8 year pro. Stop coming up with excuses for this guy. He's a good fighter, maybe an ATG. He doesn't need excuses for being outboxed. It happens when a fighter fights the best on a consistant basis.

 

ROFLMAO Joey Don't try that one. He stood in the ring after beating Khan threatening GGG he'd put the gloves back on & beat him there & then at 160 cause he was WBC Middleweight Champ BU*T when ordered to do so claimed he really wasn't a middleweight at all & handed the bogus belt back like a wussie.
Now THAT is a Coward

 

other than stamina in some fights I see no improvement. I think fighting lower competition made him believe they hype himself and he now goes for one punch at a time instead of combos.
