Gennady "GGG" Golovkin

Yeah, definitely a quality operator.

Hopefully he gets the right fights, Proksa was a decent opponent, don't want any more bus drivers.

Wouldn't mind seeing him in the mix at 168 in the near future.

 

If Golovkin trains hard, which I expect he does, I can see no issue with him moving up and down in weight. He's not a tall guy, but he is solid, and as long as his conditioning work is consistent, I think he'll have success at any weight. He's going to find it hard to get the best fights, so shifting a few pounds here and there is going to get him titles. Don't be fooled by the lazy, weight drained claiming, beer guzzling, junk food eating fighters. I reckon Golovkin could do 12 rounds at a days notice.

 

Froch vs GGG!

 

:good Cheers BA.

Anyone know how his reach compares to others in his division, Kellerman kept making a point of his ''deceptively long arms''. He's able to step out and fend off attacks with his arms and also counter quicker then a fighter with shorter arms.

 

Good shout.


I see there are a lot of people who think GGG would beat Sergio :nono
These must be the same people who think Price is the second coming.

Let's get one thing straight; GGG just beat a guy who Kerry Hope beat. Proksa had one lower top ten guy on his record.

Sergio beat the man at 160, he beat the guy noone would fight at 160, he has KO'd two other Euro top tenners.

Sergio is the king. GGG looks good but let's not crown him just yet.

Proksa may be a hands-low, southpaw, mover but he is a couple of levels below Martinez in skills, power, strength, technique, experience and intelligence.

You'll see when Sergio smashes Chavez in the same vein as Haye smashed Stella Chisora. :bart

 

Good points.

GGG was a quality AM but has a pro-friendly style. He is very good and undoubtedly heavy handed.

Your last sentence is bang on; I strongly think Chavez is getting sparked here, Martinez has a venomous/nasty aura around him much like Haye did against Chisora. GGG seemingly hits harder but I doubt is as strong as Chavez.

Its very interesting that Chavez/Proksa are probably the closest, high quality 'tuneups' GGG/Martinez could've taken!

 

/thread

 

There is big fights at Middle, he could fight, Geale, then make defenses against, Macklin, Barker or Murray, if Martinez loses to Chavez Jr, a Martinez fight would be easy to make.

All eventually leading up to a massive fight against Chavez Jr,

Me personally would not like to watch Golovkin v Ward, & Froch is way to big to fight GGG

 

Golovkin vs Mackilin = Macklin having to be helped out of the ring.

Sure Lemieux can bang, but technically Golovkin is on another level altogether.

 

Yeah, there's that whole Pole vs Brit crap played out by the CHUDS on the gf. ****ing ridiculous.

 

Its amazing how middleweight has suddenly turned from a wasteland (bar Sergio) to an absolute bombfest!

I always thought Canelo would vacate/move up before fighting Lara; not so sure now. Golden Boy might have to get Lara a shot at another belt!

 

He's rather Barrera esque

 

He looks very solid all round and he could probably knock out a horse.

Props to Proska, tough lad. Threw everything he could at him. Went out on his shield.
