Golovkin isn't defensively inept at all. As far as pressure fighters go he hardly take any shots period.
Interesting :think Can Lomachenko revenge that loss, because the problem in the last fight is that Salido surprised Lomachenko with an excessive size advantage, the rough housing by Salido worked because Lomachenko reach is too short to keep the heavier Salido off him. Lomachenko should take this rematch especially if he is going to make the unwise move to 130, because Salido size will no longer matter, all natural 130 guys are bigger than Lomachenko
I'm shocked no one mentioned Ivan Calderon quite possibly one of the most intelligent and naturally talented boxers to grace the squared circle. His size limitations stopped him from being a true ATG in my opinion.
Naseem Hamed was able to psyche fighters into fighting his style of fight, but once he got into the ring, had the boxing acumen of a rock. He totally relied on his plentiful physical gifts, and once he got into the ring with a great fighter with a high boxing IQ and fundamentals, was exposed.
Smooth and silky in there I know he was mentioned but Whitaker was also awesome I feel Lomo had great potential to get there as well.
