I feel like more people call GGG overhyped even though there is nothing to prove that when in every fight he's been in he's absolutely dominated and decimated his opponents. There are no visible flaws in his game at all and the only reason people call him overhyped is because of his competition which is a terrible point in that Golovkin has already fought the best in his division. He has scared away all the remaining competition. This ain't no Broner who did have visible flaws and fought cans. Nobody is beating Golovkin any time soon.
I didnt notice anyone with brain here thinking he isnt much better than Broner. Agree no one beats him at 160 but i would favor Ward to beat him at 168, but once Ward goes up he can go to 168.
Broner at 24 has shown balls than GG has yet to display. No visable flaws in his game Well for one.. He pulls back with his hands down.. And he drops his punches to his waist. He has legs like a crack-addicted Flamingo with a bad case of the rickets. Not to mention his age and dismal resume. He won't lose anytime soon if he stays in his weak division. At least Broner has the nuts challenged himself.
Time will tell but yeah I always thought Broner was overrated and at the moment it's looking like that might have been the case. I've always thought GGG is a legitimate top 10 p4p type. We'll see if that's the case if/when he gets the fights to prove it. Broner never impressed me whereas GGG has.
:dealRoy Jones had sticks for legs. Roy Jones did all of those thing you said. If its not broke, don't fix it.
top guys in a dead division...lots of them 154lbers. When is he going to "challenge himself" ??? HBO is putting one over on you guys big-time.
RJJ had legs like Earl Campbell compared to GG's. Jones was faster and more dynamic than GG... He fought a prime Toney and Hopkins....that shi,.ts on GG's entire village.
when certain people are associated with boxing (or anything in life) for decades the special ones (lol yes me) are capable of picking out strengths and weaknesses of fighters by simply watching them compete. it doesnt even have to be competing against p4p type fighters. i see GGG as rare, like something i never seen before. just like floyd is a once in a lifetime fighter, GGG has everything to also be that special.. he has it all, enough speed easily for 160, he has the defense when needed, he sets everything up correctly, technically he is brilliant and his power and chin are second to non. i think p4p he is the hardest hitter. and he proved my last question against stevens. stevens is fast and hits hard and he landed multiple clean power shots on GGG and they had zero affect and i mean NO affect which was awesome. so with that chin his power his technique and ring IQ he is amazing. if you cant see any of this then you need to learn this sport if you want to be a real fan
Chicken legs are a red flag in every sport..even bowling. His division is so weak his featherweight legs aren't an issues.
Stuff like that is completely irrelevant when trying to diss on Golovkin. And the legs thing is just grasping for straws (no pun intended). His legs in the Stevens fight were much more filled out than they used to be so end that flamingo **** already. I don't care if you like to stir things up, but at least make some credible points.
