Will return to this thread when Canelo turns GGG into Kid Diamond status.

Monster Breadman mailbag, with a lot of good stuff. Here you go:
1. You make a great point. There are guys that I don’t think Canelo would beat at 154 and possibly 160. I think GGG can beat more people of you lined up guys at 154 and 160. But Canelo does pass the eye ball test to an extent. You can see his talent. He also fought Lara a guy no one really wants to fight. He’s also had favorable matchmaking because of his marketability. Therefore he has been able to get fights and a platform that they fighters you named can’t get.
But this does not mean he can’t beat GGG. He has a good shot whether you accept it or not. When you have a machine behind you and favorable matchmaking where the variables of a fight usually benefit you, your chances become greater. Canelo is never up against it in a fight. On top of that, he can fight and does have talent.
If he fought all of the guys you named he would possibly lose and the Super Fight would not be a Super Fight anymore. You have to factor in the matchmaking.
You also have to factor in Canelo’s confidence. If he struggles with any of the aforementioned then his confidence could get shot going into the GGG fight.
4. GGG is very clever and skillful. He’s accurate and he has special punch variety and delivery. His defense is probably his weakest area. It isn’t horrible because he can’t over move. If he did he wouldn’t be a destroyer. It’s just not Chavez Sr or Duran for that style. It will be a key in this fight. I think he’s very skillful. Punchers don’t get the tag of being skillful because they end their fights on physicality.
Canelo is also very skillful. He has great punch sequence and delivery. His combinations could be the most unique I have ever seen. He really runs them off. He also is a great counter puncher. He’s short so he has developed a slip and roll game. His skill is more noticeable. It’s loud but it’s real.
5. In all honesty I favored GGG more a year ago. Maybe Danny Jacobs did fight over his head. Maybe he fought better than he ever has or will again. That can happen. But GGG was a little slow in getting off vs Jacobs for some reason. Maybe it was Jacobs, maybe it was him. But here is the thing. When a fighter has difficulty in 2 fights in a row at 35 years old, the masses will criticize. At the end of the day, who cares what “they” say. Here is Golovkin’s chance to show he hasn’t slowed. Personally I don’t like to hold a small microcosm as the rule. Fighters can have off nights in their primes.
6. This fight needs to be done under VADA. So much depends on it if it’s not we can get a tainted result. I heard it is. But the thing about drug testing is if it doesn’t start before the camp then I don’t believe in it all the way. You can cycle for the few months you are waiting to announce the fight then taper off once the fight gets signed and go through camp with the benefits.
I know a large % of boxing insiders who feel Jacobs won.
Bread’s Response: They both look ready to go. But Canelo looks maniacal. His intensity looks next level. He’s locked in because he knows the danger of his opponent. The technical thing that stands out is Canelo is countering on the pads in combination. His hands are also faster. GGG really has work cut out for him because multiple flashier shots will catch the judges attention more than methodical power punches.
GGG stops Liam Smith in 3 rounds and Chavez within 7. Brook while still undefeated would have been right with Canelo and I feel the Danny Jacobs who fought GGG would outpoint Canelo. So you make a great point but here is the thing. That’s why so much is in Canelo’s favor because he doesn’t have to take those kinds of fights. It’s not fair but it’s the game.
Bread’s Response: GGG is not hard to figure out. He’s very simple. He comes forward behind a jab and he tries to wreck your life. He’s hard to beat however because he’s vicious puncher with both hands, he has pedigree, he’s accurate, he has a great chin and he does not stop coming. In my opinion this fight comes down to 2 things. Can Canelo take his punches without putting his offense away? When Canelo gets tired can he overcome it and still win rounds. It’s that simple. If Canelo can do those two things he wins. I just don’t know if he can…..
Bread’s Response: I f you don’t have money to lose stay away from GGG vs Canelo. I don’t have an exact grasp on the fight. I’m slightly leaning GGG but there are variables out of the bettors control. Judges, subjective preference and GGG’s slow starts. I think the fight goes the distance… I lean GGG but expect lots of controversy and your pockets don’t understand controversy.
Funny part is I'm not even biased. When Canelo fought Jose Cotto, Josesito Lopez, Cintron, I thought it was a hype job.
But when he went to fight Punisher (damn sad) and it fell through and then looked good against Lara and Trout you saw his progression. Those dudes are a bytch to fight. And whether you think he won he got the look and feel of their styles. He added new wrinkles. He took the disappointment of Floyd and worked on his skillset. He went from a slow plodder with stamina issues to a damn good boxer.
He wasn't facing Euro bums (most of GGG shyt) who wilted, but skilled practitioners. GGG really needed a prime Sergio or Taylor or Pavlik. Not his fault, but Kell Brook and Jacobs showed me a dude who has slow feet and poor head and upper body movement saved by a once in a lifetime chin and jab. It would not shock me one bit if he's eating combos from Canelo mixed with uppercuts and body shots.
What happened to lampley? You in England or something
Breh they think canelo is Floyd or pernel.. canelo is going to be standing there with his hands up, if he drops his hands and tries to look cute he's getting laid out. He's gonna have that high guard and triple g has no problem getting around that.... getting hit behind the ear or on top of the head like Rubio.But Canelo doesn't move backwards and throw when he fights like they did vs GGG though. He plants his feet & is always standing in the pocket when he throws.
There are plenty +'s & -'s for both combatants this weekend......so may the best man win![]()
