    BS, not if they're close rounds.
    Have you seen the fight?
    In other words, you got nothing. :dead

    Don't know if anyone else noticed it, but every time Rosado went to the body, Golovkin would fall onto the backfoot immediately and cover up. I've noticed this in a number of his fights. A weakness, perhaps?

    Tell me a guy that likes it to the body! Every boxer is vulnerable there. Froch has a granite chin, but Kessler clearly hurt him to the body a lot in there fight. You could be right though, might be a weakness.

    I know what your saying, but usually the fighter will cover up and try to protect his body whereas Golovkin immediately backed off Rosado and got tagged whilst not even covering up. He also did this against Ouma. If Geale fights him, we will know because he will go to the body unlike the majority of Golovkin's opponents.

    Works both ways. If Geale stays in the pocket too long against a fella with that kinda power.......! And believe me Golovkin is no mug up close, those short well timed uppercuts he delivered in the 6th and 7th rounds when he went up a gear and tried to take Rosado out were very good. I don't really think Geale has an inside game to be honest, its manic workrate up close, but he needs space to work and get levearge. Not trolling here im asking genuinely, do you think for Geale to beat Golovkin it has to be a sturm-esque performance and similar in gameplan ? I do and i just can't envisage it. Geale is not a better pure boxer than Golovkin. His thing is to out work the other guy and dominate and for him to be able to do that to Golovkin he needs to have great fitness and stamina, which he does, a punch that commands respect, probably not..and not to become hesitant or discouraged to keep pressing if he gets caught with heavy punches. Doubtful.
