    I'm paying for this but not Mayweather x McGregor - I'll watch it of course but not at a price.

    Canelo done the smart thing by making GGG older by the time of the fight. I'll go with Canelo to win now.

    Of the decade! Linear champ vs consensus champ and both in their primes. You don't get these ones often. I can't wait.

    Sadly people won't be able to focus on this one until the circus has finished. Shame though

    Not gonna lie and claim I'm as confident in my Golov pick as I would have been two years ago, but I'm still picking up.

    I think his constant pressure will break the Ging in the end.

    I think Canelo's power and speed will keep GGG very honest. I see GGG relying more on his jab than on his power punches

    Triple G's Gotten Older and Canelo's Gotten BETTER...

    He's ALWAYS Possessed Good Punch Variety, but Canelo's Mixing Shots to the Head/Body @ a More RAPID Pace than Previously...

    If Kell Brook Could Get GGG's Attention and BRIEFLY Deter his Advances, Canelo Can Definitely HURT Him...And While Golovkin's Shown a RELIABLE Beard, REED Doesn't Recall Him EVER Being Tested to the Body...

    Especially The Way Canelo Will ATTACK Him There...

    REED Likes Canelo by Decision (Perhaps Even a Controversial Decision) or a Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery LATE Stoppage...It's Gonna Be Helluva Fight Though...

    He WON'T Defiantly Walk Canelo Down, That's for Damn Sure...

    Both Fighters will FEEL Each Other, No Doubt...

    He didn't defiantly walk LeMoo down.

    Who's to say he can't beat Ginger using the LeMoo fight approach?

    Since when did Canelo become a master boxer?

    Did REED SAY Canelo was a "Master Boxer"???...

    Nonetheless, Since You've Chosen Those Words, who's CLOSER to Being a "Master Boxer" btwn Canelo and Lemieux???...Lemieux HITS Harder and Probably Has More CORE Strength, but in Terms of BOXING Acumen and Wherewithal, Canelo Alvarez is the More Skilled and Polished Fighter...

    By a GOOD Margin, in Fact...

    Canelo has ALWAYS Showcased a Wide Array of Shots, but Like REED Said, he's QUICKER to the Point of Attack w/Those Shots, than Ever Before...He's FEINTING More Effectively than Ever, he's DOUBLING UP on Shots Better than Ever...

    Triple G's JAB Did the Bulk of the Damage Against Lemieux, but Canelo has a GOOD Jab of his Own (a BETTER Jab than Lemieux, for Certain), and it's Not as if the Shorter Man is INCAPABLE of Winning the Battle of Jabs...

    Canelo's skills are looking much improved against Liam Smith and Chumpez Junior...

    Nah, Those Skills STARTED Looking Improved as Faaaaaaaaar Back as the Cotto Fight, Who's NO Slouch Himself, in Terms of Skills...

    And While the Names You Noted Definitely Allowed for Canelo to WORK on Shit, it ALSO Allowed for Triple G to AGE and Have 2 Less than Stellar Outings, in Consecutive Bouts...

    Years Ago, This was Probably a 70-30 Fight...Now, it's a 55-45 or Even a 53-47, 52-48 Type of Fight, in REED's Opinion...REED's Rolling w/Canelo and Won't Consider it That Much of an "Upset", if he's Victorious...

    I don't really have a dog in this fight, just hoping for a nice technical fight that turns into a bit of a WAR.

    GGG for the win I feel..

    I think people are going to be surprised how easily GGG wins this.

    I'm feelin the same. Sure Triple G is 35 but despite his last two outings being so-so, I don't see a shot fighter. Just a fighter going through the motions.

    I think this is Hopkins-Trinidad all over again, with the major difference being is that while Golovkin may be no Hopkins, Canelo is not even close to being Trinidad.

    I like Triple G via late rounds KO in a very similar fight to Golovkin-Lemieux.

    True which is why they're low-keying it.
    Smart move really.

    Wait until the first few days of Money-Mac is out of the way and then this media circus will get rolling..

    Especially if Mayweather-McGregor Ends Up Disappointing...

    Golden Boy OPENLY Compared Canelo-Cotto to Mayweather-Pacquiao, GUARANfuckingTEED it'd Be a More Entertaining Fight, and it Was...

    Golden Boy May Even Start the Hype the Night OF Mayweather-McGregor, if it Fails to Live Up to Expectations...

    No, no, no!

    We as boxing fans should NOT want May-McGregor to disappoint! Oscar shouldn't want it to disappoint either. A complete dud hurts the sport as a whole, and hurts Canelo-Golovkin. If Oscar's smart, he'll realize that.

    We should root for Mayweather-McGregor to be exciting... and for Floyd to win by stoppage. Such as a result helps the sport, and makes mainstream fans say "Boxing is exciting! I wanna see Canelo-Golovkin too!"

    For better or worse, boxing's reputation is SADLY.... in the hands of a man who cares about nothing besides his check.... I mean the IRS' check, excuse me.

    0% Chance of Golden Boy Having ANYTHING Favorable to Say about Mayweather-McGregor, Since the Bout was INTENTIONALLY Sandwiched In PRIOR to Canelo - Triple G...

    That In Itself was an ASSHOLE Move on Floyd/UFC's Behalf, so REED Can't Blame Golden Boy for Wishing FAILURE on the Event on All Levels...

    Doesn't Mean REED's Thinking That Way Though...

    Obviously, Our Sport Can Ill Afford Another "Black Eye", and the Idea of that Being Contingent Upon Floyd Mayweather is SCARY as Fuck...
