Now we just need Canelo's face instead of Haye and Khan and Smith's battered faces at the bottom.
Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.
- Thread starter Jesus Is Lord
- Start date
I think Swift, Thurman, and Porter all give Canelo problems.
Swift/Thurman winner vs Canelo would be a good ass fight.
It's better than seeing that scary ass ginger play Fight Night UK Career mode
I think all 3 of em lose via KO...but Thurman puts up the best fight due to his movement and ability to fight off the back foot.

By Chris Williams: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said today that if his fighter Manny Pacquiao looks good against WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas on November 5, they might look at middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin for Manny to fight.
Arum had to be kidding, but it’s hard to know for sure. Putting Pacquiao in with Golovkin would be one sure fire way to bring the Filipino fighter’s pay-per-view numbers back up to over 1 million buys where they used to be at.
Arum said this about Pacquiao vs. Golovkin in today’s teleconference call as quoted by Dan Rafael:
“Manny may look so good in this fight (vs Vargas) we may look for Golovkin next!”
Arum mentions Pacquiao vs. Golovkin as possibility - Boxing News
Now I know Arum is just talking shyt and this would be the stupidest move on Pac part, but hypothetically speaking.. If Pac beat ggg then retired off that win would that make him the GOAT??
GREENandYELLOW
2x...and defending
I don't like the fight for any of them. Canelo is too big and strong and he has great counter power, all three can be caught with counters.
In all honesty the fight that would interest me the most would be Spence vs. Canelo...but I understand we need to see Spence fight at a higher level before we officially proclaim him king at 147...but I would pick Spence vs. Garcia, Thurman, and Porter in your predictions thread if they fought today.

Canelo gives Danny Garcia his first KO loss if that ever happened
If Danny takes Keiths power well...No reason to believe Canelo KOs him
Canelos power isn't some
shyt...he couldn't hurt Cotto who was 
dropped by midget 
N I'd argue Floyd hurt Cotto more in Rd 12 then Canelo ever did yrs laterTook :Purge1: half as many RDS to hurt Khan then Canelo who weighed as a light heavy that night
N let's not get shyt twisted Swift wouldnt be fighting @ 147 straight to 155 like them UK fools
150 - Sam Egg N Cheese
152 - Diego Chaves
154 - Silky Wilky
Then 155 Canelo lets go :Smugswift:

if pac did this....he would make a lot of fighters look bad for doing it as unlike kell he is past his prime
if by some weird chance this fight does happen, pac is getting ko'ed for sure

No, because he lost to Floyd too easy

I agree 100% with your post.
I eventually think THEE matchup to make is gonna be Spence vs Lubin at 154.

I mean, I feel you breh...and Swift's left hook > any power punch from Canelo. I just think Canelo's sneaky hand speed, upper body reflexes, the fact he throws in combination and throws MEAN body shots and uppercuts in them (which is how he varies his shots), pure size/strength, and good power will overwhelm the smaller Swift thru accumulation of punishment....which will lead to the ko
Thurman is nowhere near the sheer size of Canelo who enters at 5'9 175+ on fight night...plus Canelo got the judges too
I just can't see Canelo losing to Swift, Thurman, or Porter on a HBO PPV at that with the crowd behind him
Promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN on Monday that he spoke to HBO Sports exexcutive vice president Peter Nelson and he approved contender Felix Diaz as an opponent for unified junior welterweight world champion Terence Crawford, who is ticketed to defend his belts on Dec. 10 in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. "I spoke to Peter and HBO has approved the fight. It's a great fight for the fans and we'd love to make it," DiBella said. "If Top Rank wants to the make the fight and Terence wants the challenge I am a phone call away." Other opponents believed to be in the mix to face Crawford are mandatory challenger Antonio Orozco and Russian world titleholder Eduard Troyanovsky for a unification fight.
Felix Diaz Jr approved as an opponent by HBO...Arum sees no problem with the fight...Diaz/DiBella willing to concede to everything....what's the problem?

LOL at easy.. floyd barely left a scratch on pac and every round except for maybe 2 were very competitiveNo, because he lost to Floyd too easy
Beating ggg at 160 trumps getting outpointed in high level sparring match imo
There's no way that Pacquiao can surpass Floyd bc he lost to him...Floyd is the GOAT of this era, regardless if Pacquiao beat GGG or not.
Floyd's resume is phenomenal
If Danny takes Keiths power well...No reason to believe Canelo KOs him

Pretty much.
nikkas think Canelo got Golovkin power.
I don't see Canelo KO'ing any top elite welter unless it's on some perfect punch type shyt outta nowhere.
Smith was the only guy Canelo has shown that extra finishing gear and that dude is FNF level at best. Couldn't do it to Cotto who was basically begging to be stopped. Meanwhile Floyd and Trout were bytch slapping Miguel late in the fight.
He'd be the favorite no doubt and would prolly win on the cards.
He'd prolly KO Porter and MD/SD Swift and Thurman.

By your bacwards ass logic Pac hasn't surpassed Torrencampo or Singsurat
