It would have been a great fight a decade ago, when they finally fought it was a huge letdown. Now it would be a disaster. There are so many good young boxers that this should never take place. GGG v. Canelo tonight, can't wait.

This reminds me of A Rod announcing he was opting out of his Yankee deal while the Red Sox were winning the World Series.

Very good fight but GGG outjabbed and hurt him in the 10th. Most analysts think GGG won the second fight as well or at worst a draw. ... but the outcome was to be expected.
In the first fight GGG stalked Canelo much more than Canelo stalked him last night and that was a draw.

Last night I had as a draw or GGG winning by like a round. Two of the judges had Canelo winning the last round which I just don't see, GGG won the last 3 rounds. Just a great fight last night but must be so disappointing for GGG to have waited all these years and still somehow not have a scorecard win over Alvarez.

I know GGG won the first first and I think he won the second. Very close fight, though.
The scoring in the last round...was odd.
My guess is a third fight on the first Saturday in May.
As for Mayweather, I think he was tired of people not talking about Mayweather.
In some ways, that fight will be easy to set up - neither fighter has a promoter in the way.
But where are they going to hold it? I don't think Vegas is an option because Manny's likely never stepping foot in the United States again.

Don't want a third fight. If they ever fought a few years ago like they should have, Canelo has zero chance.
He's still good enough to win but we are seeing a diminshed GGG these days. He doesn't have the sting in the punches that he used to and Canelo can't knock him out, watching Alvarez win on the judges cards for a third time would be too much.

Canelo is a counter puncher so GGG stalking him and Canelo backing up and countering was expected. Last night you saw GGG backed up for the 1st time ever. Canelo was noticeably smaller. Razor thin decision that was basically a counter flip. Thought Canelo worked his body good and had GGG covering up his body and breathing out his mouth.
I don't think anyone expected Canelo to come forward all night on the fearsome power puncher.

They call Gennady Golovkin "Triple G because his middle initial is also a G.

The fight last night was great. Thought GGG should have won 115-113 or draw but wasn't surprised the judges saw it in favor for Canelo. The fight was extremely close.
Just not buying Canelo beat GGG. Should have been a draw. I always feel that if you are taking a world title holders belts you have to actually win the fight without a doubt and that wasn't the case last night

Youre not buying it because you know what you saw. I know why Canelo got the nod but i find it laughable when a guy CLEARLY loses 3 of the last 4 rounds of the fight and likely all four but still wins the fight. I had it 116-112 GGG which at first i thought was crazy and maybe i had an off night scoring but i keep seeing similar scores from others who scored it. Meh doesnt matter. Its just boxing being boxing. GGG was robbed twice. Hed be nuts to give Canelo a third fight. Other than a big pay day its a no win situation for GGG.
