The secret to beating GGG, and the shortlist of fighters who have a chance.

GGG knows how to cut off the ring effectively so even if you have good footwork that allows you to escape trouble, like Andre Dirrell, he will eventually find you. If you can't catch a couple of his body shots, head shots combinations, and shoot back you're in trouble you.

How many times do guys just let him land that solar plex punch smh


I hate to break it to you, but here's the short list 154 to 168 who have a chance. Floyd Mayweather about 50/50 chance. Ward who I give 70/30 advantage.

Guys like Lara can't catch body shots they can only catch and shoot head shots.

Did I leave out anyone else who can catch and shoot shots?

 

Lara would UD him.

 

floyd has a 50/50 chance of making it out of the first round without getting knocked the **** out. i mean, what do you think is going to happen after triple G hits floyd? it won't be good.

ward is 30/70 to make it to the final bell and without a few tune ups vs live bodies... zero chance.

 

No chance Floyd beats him at 154. No fukking chance. Thats a 99/1 fight for GGG.nono:nono

However, at 150, I'd go head and say 50/50. Those 4 extra lbs would be the evening out factor.

Ward vs GGG is 50/50 at best for Ward.

 

no he wouldnt, lara was never taught to defend the body properly in the amatuers and as the OP suggests he would fall victim to hard body punches

 

There's approximately zero chance of that happening. Lara might do some clean work, but he just doesn't throw enough to capture a decision against that kind of fighter. If he didn't want to open up against Alvarez, he certainly isn't going to against Golovkin.

Ward's got the best tools to deal with GGG.

 

Alvarez comes in patiently and moves his head abit.
Golovkin stays too close Lara would potshot him all night

 

Ward schools him barring a lucky punch

Froch is50/50

Mayweather gets decapitated

 

lara can't catch inside punches. He couldn't escape Alvarez body punches, he can can't even cut off the ring properly, and hit no where close to Alvarez

I like Lara, but he gets stopped!

 

The assets he brings to a fight are tough to combat. He is beatable for sure, but he will make you work for it. This guy can throw 80-90 punches a round with thudding power... ANY style of fighter could get worn down with that or KO'd... even Ward. He has a good beard too which makes his style work for him.

 

Anytime we are dealing with a living/active atg like Bhop or Floyd we should always honor them with at least 50/50 shot.


As for Froch, this guy can't outbox GGG, Punches too wide, and can't catch punches. I forgot to mention he keeps his hand too low.

I'll say 60/40 GGG because Froch still is a big puncher

 

I would say Ouma laid the blueprint.

You gotta have a certified IRON CHIN. Be slick, but with similar power to the elite bangers. You gotta have great interior defense. And you got hurt GGG every time he makes a mistake. You've gotta win the battle of the jab. Someone like Trout or Lara's jab, and you gotta counter every missed punch from GGG, with the power of prime Toney.

Sadly, the 2010 version of Ouma<<<<<<than prime Ouma who played too much.

Always like Ouma. Hated to see him robbed so badly vs Taylor.atsch

 

Definitely agree about capitalizing on his mistakes. He makes enough that you could win rounds that way. Although he is also more likely to get favored for "more damaging" punches even if only partially landed.

 

That's why someone like Ouma won rds........he had short crisp counters and followed them up when he pushed GGG on the back foot.

Can't think of a fighter like that right now. :huh

 

i would pay to see Dirrel vs GGG or Jacobs or Ward ect.
