Gennady Golovkin vs Saul Canelo Alvarez
ChrisM:
I see 2 factors to this fight. 1 being GGGs age because he looked almost human in his last bout with Daniels. 2 being if going up in weight slows Canelo at all since hes a predominantly counter puncher. Either way this is going to be a great fight considering the style clash. My heart says GGG but like Adarq said, Canelo is a boxers boxer.

yea Jacobs is legit though. I think Canelo looked more human against Jacobs more so because Jacobs is enormous, has serious power, and can really box. But that size/strength won't be there with Canelo .. However, Canelo's boxing skills are something GGG hasn't seen in a long time. He had problems with Brook's boxing offensive ability but wasn't afraid of Brook's power - and Brook's defensive boxing ability is nowhere near Canelo's.
really can't wait for this.
As of right now, i'm going Canelo by UD 12. I think Canelo's cajones (sp?) in his career will also be the difference maker, think about what this "kid" has done already in his career, going up against a prime Floyd & such. Never backed down from a challenge. I think he's learned more in his career than GGG has. Just think that'll be the advantage that gives him the edge.
Also, I don't think Canelo will slow any due to weight gain. I think he'll look crazy sharp at 154. He's been filling in more over time, probably hard for him to get to 147 these days anyway.
Love both fighters, but got a special respect for Canelo because of the opposition he's faced.
peace!!

That is true, even though jacobs did last to such an extent some thought he won, I didn't but to survive in there shows GGG is human, but it's also because as you mentioned jacobs has power and good boxing ability and a big middleweight if not natural, which Canelo isn't and canelo has power but according to his fight with Julio cesar and didn't do much damage except for damaging julio because of his inactivity and poor defence. I don't think he was able to bring that power into the middleweight, regardless of what he did to amir khan who is a welterweight. So you have to consider that too, that canelo might not bring the power up and what you have left is a power puncher boxer vs a quick counter puncher boxer. Also ggg has a better chin and can possibly endure more than julio.
So what I think will happen is that it will probably be close either ggg ends it via tko near the 8th-10th round or UD to canelo, because canelo is slick and can move and that will make it hard for ggg.
So GGG will have to try and land some serious power shots early to the body to slow him down than finish him off by tko or ggg winning by 12UD.
My Prediction is (really difficult) GGG TKO Round 10 :ninja:
Also what you said about canelo's opposition, I think this is down side to when boxer's dominate, it scares people away from fighting them and therefore getting less exposure as for Canelo gained more exposure and his fight with floyd helped him with his exposure.
SP=Cojones.
Cajones means drawers lol.
