Will Canelo's Style Sink Him Against GGG?

[Box-Office]

Sink, there is no other way around it. Canelo struggled with Lara and Trout because these guys had amazing footwork. Then you factor in GGG's power and Saul's pride. GGG batters him for a stoppage.


I like Canelo.

Canelo does well defensively and knows how to put combinations together. However, he does fight in spots and GGG seems to pour it on pretty good after the initial feeling out round. I think GGG will not let him rest at all and will be right on top of him. Any thoughts?

There's nothing Canelo can do to beat GGG. .expect if fight goes 12 n he gets a gift decision which is likely possible knowing his history on da cards...imo fight doesn't go 12..3G by TKO

No. His style is perfect for GGG. No other style would work as well. Canelo spent many years working on his aggressive boxer puncher and counter puncher style. I think Canelo will lose because GGG is too good for Canelo or any other middleweight. Styles won't have anything to do with it. It will just be an excellent fighter losing to an even better fighter.

Do you think Canelo will land some big counters and test GGG's chin first?

GGG skill is what sinks Canelo...the jab, the footwork,the power.... Canelo,is a good fighter but he's not beating GGG at 160. At 155 who knows what GGG looks like....

GGG will be on Canelo stalking him all night long, Canelo can't hurt GGG, so GGG will hammer Canelo down.

Canelo would land some shots but it wouldn't matter, his power is overrated. GGG's already taken bigger shots than Canelo can deliver.

Alvarez doesn't fight Golovkin, doe...

He rather vacates his WBC belt (while he may hold the "lineal" belt until May 2017, according to The Ring rules... be cause The Ring will not strip him)...

That could be. His KO ratio against good or even decent fighters is not great. They really have to come after him hard and even then, it's usually accumulation. If he couldn't knock out or stop Cotto, I don't see him doing so against GGG.

Well... Since GGG came to U.S. (i.e. the Proksa fight), he won 11 fights by KO...
Now about the scorecards:
In 6 of these fights, all the judges saw GGG losing no rounds...
In 2 of these fights, only one judge saw GGG losing 1 round...
In 3 of these fights, there were 2 judges who saw GGG losing 1 round...

Therefore: by 'majority decision', GGG lost 3 rounds (out of 62 in the ring) in 11 fights...
