    Everybody loves his power and thinks that's his biggest key to success.

    What about his ability to shift? He's always in position, every time, all the time. No matter what, he finds you and is ready to unleash his attack.

    Yeah, it definitely is. His footwork is marvelous and that's the thing, it doesn't even look flashy, he doesn't bounce around or do shuffles or anything like that, it's pure efficiency.

    Yep, it literally looks like he is meticulously stalking his prey to a point of no escape.

    I have to agree, It's one of the things that impresses me the most about him

    Thats why people saying he couldnt trap elite runners like Floyd or Leonard are so wrong

    Gennady's ring cutting skills are far better than Hagler's

    He's in Foreman territory in the ring cutting department. It's unreal.

    That, his power, his pacing. He finishes fight without sweating.

    Edit: Eventhough I have been enjoying GGG's fights, thinking to myself that he is special, along with Floyd, Pac, Kovalev, Moralez, I still think Lemieux has a chance to defeat GGG (while not on the same level of greatness).

    props to them both

    nobody wants GGG

    who on earth would want a devastating KO artist like Lemieux?

    gonna be one hell of a fight

    and they should stick Cotto Canelo on the undercard

    You mean the GGG-Lemiuex fight should be on the Cotto-Canelo undercard. That is the much bigger fight

    Agree with Emallini - he makes all the other guys he fights look like bums.

    He's fought plenty of good fighters, he's just made them look ****. Foreman made Frazier look like a bum, does that mean he isn't any good?
