People think that GGG is a pressure fighter, he isn't. He cuts the ring off, but he is more of a middle of the ring, boxer=puncher than a head-on-the-chest Joe Frazier type. He doesn't smother his opponents he jabs a lot and goes upstairs and downstairs. Robinson beats him. GGG has all of the trouble in the world with a washed-up Kasim Ouma. Boxing is the one sport where athletes (except heavyweights, too big now) were better in the 40's. Back then, boxing was the higest paying sport. Baseball, basketball and football players had offseason jobs to make ends meet, so the best athletes went into boxing.
GGG wouldn't stop a complete faded, shot, over the hill, 44 year old Robinson. The only fighter who could do that is Floyd Mayweather. Deal with it
The heavies today are not as good as the heavies in the past. There is no such thing as too big Jess Willard..Louis Firpo..Primo Carnera threw more punches...could fight more rounds....moved foreward better..and were more durable than today's heavies. Truth be told...today's heavyweight division best defines the decline in boxing more than any other.:deal
Aww Elroy......yes it would be a good contest. Golovkin would prove a formidable opponent. Robinson has faster hands, similar power, better reflexes, better defence, boxed over a 100 better opponents than GGG has faced. Robinson wins but in a good fight. He was superb as a welterwight but not unbeatable at middleweight.
:rofl 5'8 is not a weight it's a height.......fool. Curtis Stevens is 5'7...is he a WW...???? Gene Fullmer would have GG shi.tting Gypsy tears:hi: If GG were fighting Fullmer instead of Ouma he'd be in IC right next to Absomolev. GG gets het too much m'friend.
Robinson was superb at middleweight too:deal GG would get blasted away easilly...lets get real. Golovkin could not deal with this beast: .start at the 1 minute mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN1hzZTuC7M
As if Martinez is an accurate gauge to judge if GG beats Robinson. Dude get real. Golovkin would have whistling KO punches coming at him from angles he didn't know existed. People don't call SRR the best ever for old-time sake...like you castefootballers like to believe. GG puts all his weight on his front foot, and drops his punches to his waist....he'd be a sitting duck for everything Ray was great at. GG had all he could handle with a washed-up Kassim Ouma.:hi: Ouma was a Jr mw and totally featherfisted.
