I don't see the predictable Golovkin improving any come May.

If Golovkin was so predictable how did he arguably beat Canelo? The real thing is that no one sees Canelo's stamina improving. Golovkin has a better coach and can fight a better fight. He was the ring general throughout the fight. Canelo, on the other hand, can't improve on his performance.

That's funny because just about every critique I've seen about the rematch all agree that Canelo is the more adaptable, multi-dimensional fighter who figures to up his game.

On the other hand, what you saw from Golovkin in September is pretty much what you'll see any time he steps into the ring.

Even Canelo's detractors admitted being impressed with his all-around performance, showcasing defense skills that few suspected he possessed.

As I always say, if you're a big fan of pressure and aggresiveness, then you'll probably always feel that Golovkin wins.

But if you favor what's important in scoring a fight---clean effective punching, whether you're coming forward or fighting off your back foot--then Canelo is the obvious winner.

In my view, it was the Mexican who was the ring general since he repeatedly lured Golovkin inside and then rattled him with solid shots.

Golovkin might have done more work but to what end if he's getting smacked with heavy counters?

Honestly, the draw flattered him.

Well Canelo is the A lister. The face of boxing.

Guys like that usually set the terms.

Everyone else just lines up behind him and says "Whatever you want Señor Canelo. I want to be rich just like you."
