Bernstein is taking GGG over Canelo:

Bernstein: Golovkin Clearly Beats Canelo, Can't Imagine Him Losing - Boxing News
If the fight actually goes down, Showtime's expert analyst Al Bernstein has no idea how Canelo can possibly pull off a victory.

Bernstein gives Golovkin several advantages- in experience, size, power, skill. Canelo's only edge on paper is youth and potentially speed. Both fighters have good defensive skills. One of the major obstacles at the moment in making the fight a reality is the weight limit. Canelo has never fought beyond a catch-weight of 155-pounds and wants to face Golovkin at that exact weight - but GGG wants the full middleweight limit of 160-pounds.

"Well I hope it happens this September, that would give Canelo time to gain his weight. Gennady Golovkin’s problem is that nobody will fight him for the most part. I hope that fight happens, I think Golovkin is the clear winner in that fight, it’s hard for me to figure out a way that Canelo can beat him," Bernstein said to On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

"It could be a very interesting and exciting fight, potentially, but Canelo isn’t a big middleweight and Golovkin has certainly been at 160lbs for a long time. I just can’t imagine Golovkin losing that fight, but I hope it happens, it would be a monstrous fight for the sport."

Canelo is definitely faster & punches in combination better. He also is quicker on the trigger & is a better counter puncher. This isn't nearly as clear as Bernstein's trying to make it

ESPN's rankings of Welterweight right now:

1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Tim Bradley
3. Keith Thurman
4. Kell Brook
5. Danny Garcia
6. Amir Khan
7. Shawn Porter
8. Sadam Ali
9. Errol Spence
10. Jessie Vargas

The list reminds me that there are so many good fight possibilities that should be made.
Manny shouldn't be at the top anymore tbh....

Yep.


And where does he get the "experience" edge to GGG either:heh:


Canelo has fought the harder opposition and has had more fights as well:manny:
