For those of you who think GGG is Overrated....

Golovkin absolutely does not have to set his feet to punch, he also is good at shifting. Plus, how would not fighting going backwards a negative against Floyd? The chances of Floyd being able to back Golovkin up is pretty much zero, he sure wouldnt be able to sustain any kind of offensive attack. If Floyd threw a hard shot at Golovkin, he gets Gealed.

This was posted here before, but I will repost it because it bears watching. Apparently a few people out there actually know wtf they are seeing.

Geale doesn't have much power at all. If you've watched Geale, you should know this.

Golovkin doesn't have a weak chin at all. If you've watched Golovkin, you should know this.

Picking Geale to have beaten Golovkin is a pretty **** prediction, man. You've got to admit that. That is borderline trolling or you've got connections with the Geales' in the family tree.

 

not saying Dirrell would win now but pro and ams are completely different I mean off the top of my head Devon Alexander beat Shawn Porter 2/3 times as an am and got steamrolled as a pro.


how are Martinez and Cotto a good example Martinez has been dropped
quite a few times late into his career but has only been stopped twice, Cotto has fought a lot of big punchers and the only guys who've stopped him one was caught cheating in his next fight the other was possibly on PED's.

That comment wasn't made to say a top fighter automatically has a better chin then an low ranked guy more so that it's easier to get a stoppage vs low quality opposition.

 

Froch is easy to hit himself, especially by a right hand.

 

I took your comment as you said it, Golovkin's power hasn't been tested against top competition - the emphasis on power because you emphasised power.

If what you mean is Golovkin hasn't beat top competition, Cotto is the "champ" and well I don't need to see him beat Cotto to know he beats Cotto - via stoppage. Same goes for every other MW possible exception of Murray who is big and heretofore durable.

 

honestly I think Rubio is a much tougher fight than Murray.

 

You are a contrarian aren'cha?

Don't worry, I also get on my own nerves plenty.

 

Cotto is at the tail end of his prime fighting 3 divisions above where he started GGG is a natural MW that has never fought below 160, even in saying that until GGG fight's and beats Cotto he'll have to settle for #2 in the divison.

Canelo is a natural MW and is fast and strong at the weight.Most of the MW's Golvkin can currently fight are in the mid to late 30's and are all older fighters Alvarez is young in his prime and still improving as a fighter.

 

that's right, when ggg steps up his competition to the level of canelo he'll lose.

 

The problem is that Geale has never faced an actually strong power puncher. I'm as big of a Geale fan as you'll find off of the island, but Sturm/Sylvester/etc. don't fight anything like Golovkin does.

And Golovkin's style translates perfect against a volume puncher who doesn't have exceptional speed or power. That is the ideal opponent for him, actually.

--------

You can't just pick Geale for the hell of it and then not take what comes with a horrible prediction. Picking Geale over Golovkin just brings your apparently good predictions of Herrera and Algieri down to even.
