    BTW CBP isn't the same, the fighters don't get tested anywhere near as much as the pre fight tests. Maybe once or twice a year they get tested.
    Yes, so why haven't you singled out guys who DIDN'T request it - like Canelo Alvarez - instead of somebody who did?

      I bet Canelo has done pre fight testing for more fights than Golovkin. I bet he didn't delay until a month or less out for them either. This thread is about Golovkin and testing, i'm just letting people know the facts.

        I think a lot of people are in for a rude awakening during this fight. Of course I could be wrong, Canelo could fight like Jacobs....
        Yeah man I dont doubt GGG will take some life out of Canelo win or lose but I dont see Canelo taking on killers after GGG also. I dont think Canelo can fight like Jacobs at all, any form of Jacobs tbh. But I do think that Canelo has the style to beat a guy like GGG, I think GGG does best against guys that move, I think that was Jacobs demise, he moved to damn much, he did better center ring. 1 thing is for certain though, to beat GGG you are going to take a beating. People clown GGG but theres nobody at 160 or 168 that could beat ggg and come out unscathed. Ward imo wouldve but hes way to big for GGG now.

          So in other words "don't single out the fighter I like, talk about anybody else but him"

            How do you stay off of the ropes when you're marshalled back to them and haven't the footwork to negotiate your way off of them.

            In a straight shoot out its clearly the guy who's power appears to be too much for your average middleweights as opposed to the guy who ain't never fought at the full weight limit.

              He delayed it from a date that would make it useful. 2.5 weeks Leimux and 1 month for Wade was just a brilliant marketing gimmick that lets you pretend you're clean when the testing in reality was next to pointless.

                Maybe. Canelo is fast. It's a toss up for me.

                  Talk about him, by all means .. but don't tell outright lies. GGG never delayed testing for those fights or for any others. There wouldn't have been any VADA testing at all unless he - as the defending champ - had requested it.

                    Seriously ? You believe their power is equal ?

                      Lol, when the **** did Jacobs become some sort of god around here?

                      There is no doubt in my mind that Canelo is the superior boxer here. And he, unlike Jacobs, can at least take a punch without falling apart.
