As for the rematch if it happens I think GGG will have an easier time if he doesn't slip anymore.Im getting Ward-Kovalev vibes from this .I said after the first fight that Kov had no shot because Ward was in here there with him and took his best shot and realized he could manage it.From that point on Ward was the boss.
In this fight GGG respected Canelo's power for far too long which contributed to that slow start.GGG literally ate Canelo shots like a scooby snacks and realized dude couldn't hurt him and turnt up in the middle rounds.In the rematch no way he starts off that cautious again.
You could say that same line of thinking would be true also for Canelo but the thing is that his biggest issue from this fight is something he'll never be able to fix,his stamina.
As for this fight itself I had GGG 7-5. Anywhere between 8-4 and 6-6 (Absolute best Nelo could do)would've been decent scores.But there is no way in hell you can give Canelo 7 rounds.Let alone 10 like Byrd

Um..prime Floyd is not taking damage and connects all night long on a stalking GGG quite easily. Way too fast and his footwork is another level. I think he wins 10 rounds like it's nothing. Prime Roy Jones? He wins all 12 rounds.Breh he said that Floyd would "destroy" GGG. Floyd is my dude, and he's NOT destroying GGG at any age. Stop. Can he beat GGG? Yes. But destroy?These hyperboles have to stop. Also, a 2017 Floyd does not beat him at all. That Floyd that beat Conner? Nah

Canelo is gonna be in his prime while GGG is gonna be at least 36 years old!!

There is no need for 2017 Floyd to fight this guy. So that's not a good topic. He still wins though.

Theres not enough data on 2017 Floyd to determine how he would do.. the Floyd you saw in August was a Floyd that barely sparred leading up to the 'fight'
The 2015 Floyd? Easy 10-2 fight... I actually forget how fast Floyd was vs Pacquiao, GGG would struggle to cut the ring off with him
He would do the modern day Ali/Foreman deal...let him halfway tire and come back with sizzling fast counters.

NEW YORK – Erislandy Lara doesn’t know whether he’ll ever get an opportunity to avenge his controversial loss to Canelo Alvarez.
The WBA and IBO 154-pound champion is much more certain that there’s no chance Gennady Golovkin can win a decision over Alvarez in their 12-round middleweight title fight Saturday night. His own experience against Alvarez in Las Vegas convinced Lara that Alvarez always will get the benefit of the doubt from judges in fights there.
“I think Canelo is in a real fight against a strong guy who’s determined,” Lara told BoxingScene.com through a translator last week. “If I had to pick somebody, I would go with Golovkin. But one thing we know is in Las Vegas, you can’t beat Canelo Alvarez on a decision.”

If Alvarez-Golovkin goes to the scorecards, Lara fully expects Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) to lose, even if the action indicates he should be declared the winner of their HBO Pay-Per-View main event at T-Mobile Arena.
“They did it to me, so why wouldn’t they do it to Golovkin?,” Lara said. “On top of that, one judge had it a draw when Canelo fought Floyd Mayweather. They did it to Mayweather, they did it to me. You have to knock out Canelo to beat him.”
Lara lost a split decision to Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) in their 12-round, non-title fight three years ago at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Judge Jerry Roth credited Lara with a 115-113 victory, but judges Levi Martinez (117-111) and Dave Moretti (115-113) scored their highly competitive fight for Alvarez.
Ten months earlier, judge C.J. Ross somehow scored Alvarez’s 12-round fight with Mayweather a draw (114-114). The two other judges – Craig Metcalfe (117-111) and Moretti (116-112) – thought Mayweather won by scores that were more reflective of what took place in the ring and he beat Alvarez by majority decision.
“The Canelo fight is history now,” Lara said of his split-decision defeat to Alvarez. “It’s in the past. Everyone who knows about boxing, everyone who’s not biased, knows I won the fight.”
That doesn’t mean that the Cuban southpaw doesn’t want another opportunity to beat the Mexican superstar.
“Obviously, he’s gonna try to avoid me,” Lara said. “Everyone knows that, but I hope it happens. If it happens, it happens. But every great fighter looks at their record and sees an asterisk. A guy like Floyd Mayweather fought Castillo. It was controversial and he came back and beat [Jose Luis] Castillo. He did the same thing with [Marcos] Maidana.
“That’s what great fighters do. So any time there’s an asterisk on your record, you have to fix it. If Canelo wants to go down in history as one of the best Mexican fighters, he has to do what Chavez did with Frankie Randall. The list goes on and on and on. That’s what great fighters do.”
Meanwhile, Lara (24-2-2, 14 KOs) is busy preparing for his October 14 fight against Cleveland’s Terrell Gausha (20-0, 9 KOs). Their 12-round title fight will headline Showtime’s tripleheader from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
foreshadowing
One thing going forward though...i don't want no one to tell me or in general that Canelo doesn't have stamina problems. This fight should make it VERY clear that he does. I mean shyt look at his fellow young mexican David Benavidez...nikka is out there catching wreck at a higher weight class and not even half as ripped as Canelo...thats shameful..Canelo would have to break a Compubox record for punches thrown at 154 or 160 to make me believe his stamina issues are behind him lol.
