His D is very poor he can basically be hit at will Against elite boxers it will be his downfall Abel needs to tune it up at Big Bear Idont buy the BS he gets hit on purpose or for the fans
i just think he needs to beat the elite to become elite. but i know he's elite already he just aint fighting the other elite fighters as of right now. hopefully chavez jr, froch, canleo fights can happen sooner rather then later. ward fight would be good now but great after a few big wins from ggg.
Robert Garcia said it best, with his style you can't have it both ways, just like Floyd can't be some offensive monster with his style that walks and gets someone out there, with GGG's style you can't be some defensive genius. He actually does a good job with his defense for his style. Compare him to Rios, Ruslan, or Marg who have that seek and destroy style he gets hit way less.
If you look at the compubox stats, he actually ranks second only to Floyd for the plus/ minus % https://mobile.twitter.com/compubox/status/430789825189646336 If his defense were poor, he would be getting beat up or put on his but hole 4 times like Rigo.
Golovkin's defense is so suspect it belongs on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. Fortunately for Ole Triple Duck, none of the TOMATO CANs he's been in the ring with have had the wherewithal to take advantage of his suspect defense. As soon as they put him in the ring with a slick boxer who wont fold under pressure, all of Golovkin's defensive liabilities will be brought to the forefront...
