Message: [QUOTE="TheChamps990411, post: 2188239, member: 662"] Canelo can hit hard enough at 160lbs to keep guys honest but he does not pack the punch that its going to take to hurt someone like GGG whos shown he has a chin made of granite. Lemieux, Stevens and Jacobs all punch harder than Canelo and are bigger guys who all landed on GGGs chin at some point in their fights and he took them. Ill tell you where Canelo is going to lose the fight and you nailed it on the head without realizing it when you said "both guys come forward and have good chins and good power". Chin and power. The edge in both those categories go to GGG and its not close. To beat GGG you can not fight him the way you are describing. To beat GGG you have to give constant movement. You have to unload your shots and be gone by the time he sets his feet and is ready to deliver his shots. Anyone with half a brain knows Canelo is flat footed, with feet that move like theyre in molasses and tends to have trouble keeping the pace because of his questionable stamina and that will be his downfall in this fight. Floyd dominated him badly for this very reason. Floyd would hit him with the 1,2 then simply move away before canelo could set his feet to throw. GGG is a master tactician when it comes to cutting off the ring and he wont need to against Canelo. Now canelo is very good defensively with his guard and occasionally rolls the shoulder pretty effectively but hes very stiff at the waist and is limited with his head movement. Sure hes going to put up a good fight and it wouldnt surprise me if he won a lot of the early rounds but once GGG starts figuring out the holes in that defense and starts landing those bombs its going to be a long night for Canelo and eventually he gets stopped. I dont see this fight ending any other way. By the way im a big canelo fan but ive seen enough of him to see his deficiencies and how this is a bad match up for him. Hopefully we get a good fight.
