Canelo 28 but out of the ring for a year by fight night.

Golovkin closing in on 37.

I think Ginge takes it.

I told you that Wilder-Joshua was a no go on that date.

You'll still have a good scrap to celebrate to.

In the ufc a failed test is a minimum year suspension.

IMO he’s slightly on the decline.

BUT. I have zero respect for Canelo and more importantly Team Canelo.
There are plenty of drug cheats in our sport. Very few act with the aloofness and self righteousness of Canelo. He could of apologised. Instead he acted like boxing was in the wrong for catching him.

Golovkins legacy is secure in my head. So even if he loses (I think he will) I won’t care.
But if he scores a win, better yet a savage beatdown, I will be dancing up and down like I was the night Sir Danny started that barrage against Iron Mike.

BIGGG DRAMA SHOW

Didn’t like how, when he finally faced Golovkin, after all the stalling, he wasn’t willing to put it all on the line, throwing 4 consecutive mid-late rounds away with running. Flashy in bursts. All sizzle, no steak, the way I saw it. The old trick of making rounds close by avoiding contact. Fighting like a veteran approaching his 40s, not someone in his prime. A classic 8 round fighter.

I thought Canelo would come in heavy for the fight, to gain an advantage. Then I hear, for the biggest test of his career, he tested positive for PEDs.

Golovkin surely deserved the decision yet he plodded and only punched when Alvarez was on the ropes. It was a slightly disappointing fight. Both men need something extra in their game plan.

Golovkin has certainly faded. He’s reminding me of Sung Kil Moon, a fighter who I don’t quite regard as a great. Moon could blast people out and overwhelm opponents. But as he got older, if fights went to points, against slick boxers, he’d just do the same thing all night, plodding forward and relying on being the stronger man. Thinking of Moon’s fights with Richardson, Salazar, Bueno in particular.
