that's every Khan fight y'all
He wins the first 3 rounds only off speed and then better opponents figure him out, time him, usually even KO him
But why is Brook's performance vs GGG heralded, even though he wasn't winning on the cards at the time of the stoppage, while Khan's performance vs Canelo's is dismissed, even though he was winning on the cards at the time of the stoppage, and lasted longer?
If Brook gets props vs GGG, then Khan gets props vs Canelo
Canelo isn't as flat footed as he used to be. He's still not a Lara but he is faster at this point than Golovkin both with hands and feets. He has an underrated jab too and quick, precise combos. I think he would throw leather at Golovkin then move a little and so on... not like a May fight he would stood more before Golovkin that's true but he would hit back much more than Golovkin's opponebts so far and he also has a better defense than most of them. I don't say that it'd be easy for any of them but I'd slightly pick Canelo.
Golivkin is good but beatable and has his limitations. I still stick to my opinion that while he really is a very good fighter the hype he receives now is also due to him competeing in one of boxing's worst divisions where he can looke as domunant as he did much easier than in a division filled with more talent.
And no I don't downgrade his competition just because he is "too good" we have seen May owning everyone in welterweight for example but it was still clear that it's one of if not the vest division around.
GGG is one of the best pressure fighters in the sport period....great at cutting off the ring. Moving a little isn't going to do anything, Canelo's going to have to Thurman his way away from the pressure GGG will apply. GGG is bigger, stronger, longer, better stamina, better chin, great at cutting the ring, and throws many more punches than Canelo. You don't fight a fighter like that by standing in front of him imo, that's the main reason I think Canelo loses.
I don't believe he has the ability to move away from the pressure. He's a come forward fighter.
I guess in September the truth will have to be revealed
