Discuss the 3 ATG middleweights and how their styles would mesh Who would you favour to beat who? Does either guy hold a significant stylistic advantage over an other? Discuss
golovkin atg mw? based on what? even his power is overrated like hell, he needs to hit once and again and again and again to stop his rivals, he does not have the one single punch ko like jackson,i think that.nigel benn hits harder too
monzon would school and make him look a complete overrated buffon and then pick the round where he wants to stop him. hagler tooks all his shots and then destroys him
Ding Ding Ding. Winner of the rose colored glasses quote this week. Both Hagler and Monzon are greats both no one ever at middleweight destroys triple g.
:nod will be interesting to hear from some of the older more wisened posters, not this annoying rose coloured virgin a lot of the older posters on here are Extremely high on Golovkin
Too soon to tell, as Golovkin still hasn't been tested against any elite opponents. Stylistically, I think that he would have far more problems with prime Hagler's aggression and versatility than with Monzon's deliberate, slower-paced boxing though.
i used to favor hagler over monzon but i'm leaning the other way atm. can't really pick the other fights because there's so many variables with golovkin; at the average persons physical peak he had done very little so experience and physical prime are as far off as for almost anyone i can think of, he hasn't fought anyone that similar to either of those guys to draw conclusions from either, he does hit like a ******* tho. if the odds were even and had to i'd bet on both guys to beat him.
As much as I like GGG, there's no way, unless he shows us something extra before he retires...that he beats either Monzon or Hagler. GGG is, IMO, the biggest fish in the pond today,...but those two inhabit MUCH deeper waters. Both, especially Monzon, would dominate him.
Monzon l think would likely beat both Hagler and GGG. But he'd have an easier time against GGG. The Hagler, Monzon fight would be very interesting. GGG is still not completely tested, but even being included in this type of conversation indicates his respect on this site.
Hagler is one of the toughest sunuvabhitches in all of history, not just boxing. That chin is made of concrete and stuff. Yeah, stuff...yeah, yeah Lennox, he's coming for you!
I'm your older poster. So old that last week I was carbon tested. Yes I who have seen all the best middleweights since Robinson, Cerdan and LaMotta, am "extremely high" on GGG. The old bromide GGG's detractors spout,"who has GGG fought that compare to some of the MWs of the past MAY be true, but it is not his fault that his opposition hasn't been stellar...It is to me his considerable skills, dynamic hitting powers, great two handed punching from all angles, and as good and painful a left jab as I've seen. Coupled with his iron chin that in over 340 amateur and professional bouts, GGG has never ever been floored. Let his critics ponder this. If by chance a Marvin Hagler somehow came on the scene today fighting the same fighters that GGG has til now, what more can he have done better than Golovkin has done to all his victims ? Kill them ? Every so often a fighter comes along with latent skills that transcends the era they fight. Such is GGG...That man is GOOD...
Question for you sir. Do you think that a bleeder like Vito Antuofermo would last 15 rounds with GGG as Vito did with the prime Hagler in 1979 ??? I DON'T...
funny how you got absolutely no argument to support this bull**** "golovkin is an all time.great", by the way, i was on this forum even beforen you was born lol
