Nobody but die hard Canelo fans' considered Alvarez a beast. Sure hehad beast like qualities (good combination punching and power) but that was it. He wasn't even that much bigger than Floyd size wise. He's just a naturally heavier dude. Plus that nikka ain't have the boxing skills or amateur pedigree that GGG has so just stop it breh. You reached on that one. Canelo was a good win for Floyd but GGG he is not so lets chill with all that shyt.
If you stand GGG side by side with Floyd, you'd see a huge difference. He'll Floyd is only an inch taller than Stevens and GGG made dude look like a boy in the ring.
Floyd has never fought a real middleweight before and you got nikkas saying he'd make easy work out of Golovkin.
I mean yeah dude is highly skilled and is an atg, but excuse me for thinking he'd have a tough time with GGG.
Ya'll act like I said Floyd would struggle with Sturm.
pardon the cliche but "skills pay the bills" and "size dont mean shyt" (in some instances)
I am not saying this is a probable matchup or that Floyd would even want to take the risk. if you are talking the Sturm of today?
Sturm fought DLH just as well as Floyd did. What makes GGG great all of a sudden or to compare him to the resume of a guy like Sturm? People would say the same thing about the Sturm that beat DLH when speaking in regards of a match against Floyd.
I didnt pay attention to whether it was die hard Canelo fans saying what they said about him. Your point could be debated. Canelo didnt have an extensive amateur background, neither did B-Hop (easily the best pure boxer actively behind FMJ). Amateur experience dont mean as much today as it did in the past. More fighters are "learning on the job".
My point is simple. The same thing was basically said about Canelo without a lick of evidence to substantuate it. What ACTUAL evidence do we have that GGG would be different outside of his size and better amateur pedigree (but Canelo's more prolific professional career closes the gap on that)?
You mention Stevens looked like a boy. Thats great if you are comparing sluggers. If you dare mention Stevens in the same breath as FMJ then all you need to know is as far as lateral movement and footwork....Stevens is an infant when compared to Floyd.
GGG could crush Floyd for all we know...I just want to hear some substantial evidence BESIDES what we have heard about other fighters previously that he would be more formidable?
To end my post, here is a thought....valid or not. I remember when
beat Butterbean. (I know different class of fight, dont get panties in a bunch) Max asked "how far can you handicap in terms of skill" or something to that effect. I am paraphrasing. He said "could a prime Holmes beat Butterbean with one hand tied behind his back?"My answer to that? Absolutely. The gap in skill level between Floyd and most fighters today is leagues apart. Especially GGG.
GGG would have a size advantage...but how far can you handicap Floyd's skills when to me he is undoubtedly one of the top 3 "boxers" that ever lived?
, is that the only reason yall roam here, like for real
