Can a 40 year old GGG move UP in weight and beat Canelo although most of the scribes (writers) believe it’s a “wash” for Canelo. I don’t think so. Although The location fits Canelo.....will the “BYRDS” show up (someone like the BYRD) and have a pre made score in their mind mentally. At this time the judges are under more scrutiny than ever before. The social media public is “wired up” more than ever. Don’t fool yourself. This will be the MOST action packed fight of the 3. GGG may make history on this night. He’s busier and has the jab advantage. Will being 40 make a difference? Yes, it does..... but his heart and desire will show up. We may be in for a huge surprise. I saw something in the Bivol fight that the 40 year does like Bivol but only better. Of course, GGG is smaller but we are in for a MAJOR contest. Keep punching.

Watch them today and its clear Leonard is taller. against Hagler Leonard id slightly talller but against Duran Hagler's a couple of inches taller. Fighters who've fought them both said Duran was the shorter man, Hagler's biography by Brian Hughes to Leonard himself. Look at the first fight when both men faced each other during the promotion of the fight, Leonard is clearly inches talle, in fact he looks more than 3 inches taller. Regardless it doesnt matter, Leonard is probably the first boxer to make rematches when fighters had aged out, be it Duran who called for a third fight straight away but waited 9 years for a rubber match to Hearns waiting 8 years. The problem with the A side fighter is judges are biased towards them to that they get to call all the shots even to the detriment of the sport. Sadly money rules over the sport.

Sadly Golovkin goes down as losing a first fight which asides from fanboys the rest of planet Earth thought Golovkin won by roughly 4rds at least and a second closer fight that at best for Alverez was a draw but again most of planet Earth saw Golovkin winning by a narrower margin now reminiscent of Ray Leonard making the smaller, older in age and far older ringwise Roberto Duran age out so as to get an easier win in their rubber match and so allow the gravy train to roll on. Its a pity Golovkin was avoided for so long.
