    Golovkin fights, he does not run. I love to watch him fight and it's a shame that Cotto refuses to fight Golovkin, Golovkin is Cotto's mandatory. Cotto will fight Geale?! Golovkin knocked Geale out in the 3rd round. Golovkin can box and has a great defense whenever he wants to use it.....................

    Gennady Golovkinez has the Mexican style. It is what it is. And it's good for boxing.

    Stopping punches with your face, having no defense what-so-ever.

    And claiming to do that intentionally instead of admitting you're too lazy and careless to train some basis.

    I was front row at golovkin vs Rubio .The Raza was deep as fuk chanting tripple G's name against a mexican opponent. Watch golovkins fights and you'll find out why.Floyd will never get that type of reception. Maybe from his yes men at his boxing club, or from the *****s on EASTSIDEBOXING that dikride him so hard(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) I bet they chant hard work dedication in unison when they see Floyd on all access that's the only time you'll hear people cheering for Floyd. Which reminds me wasn't Floyd standing clapping his hands at one of pacs legendary fights? Floyds a low key fan of the Mexican style.Hell promise you a knockout all that means is hell fight similar to klitchko , jab clinch, repeat and use "ring generalship" aka run a lap.

    Well son... it's amazing that he sells ppvs since he has no fans... either way your hate induces you to pay $ to see any hype job such as Manny, Canelo, Ortiz, Marcos etc beat him

    The stereotypical "Mexican style" is aggressive, coming forward, taking or willing to take a lot of punishment, vicious body punching (especially with the left hook).

    It's kind of BS though because the great Mexican fighters all have skills beyond this. Chavez was very skilled, slipped punches well, he beat a good fighter in Rocky Lockridge by spending most of it boxing on the backfoot with a hurt hand.

    Olivares could box and brawl. Sanchez, Barrera, Morales, Marquez were all very good boxers in the middle of the ring and didn't have a "face-first" attacking style except for Barrera (more so in the 90s).

    And having a "face-first" style doesn't necessarily mean you block punches with your face anyway. People successful in this style have a tendency to, actually you know, dodge the punches.
