Gennady Golovkin without the insane punching power would still be dominant!

    Agree. GGG is fundamentally sound. He's always balanced which is why he's such a devastating puncher. He cuts off the ring well. He doesn't get enough credit beyond his power.

    If I had to say one thing negative about him is, he is so offensively good, that he's never had to really defend. He doesn't seem to move his head much. We saw Brook outbox him for a couple of rounds (until GGG said enough is enough that is).

    Convenient excuses you have there. If this guy is as good as you guys claim he is, he will not have an issue doing what so many great fighters have done. Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones, Manny Pac, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, these guys did not use weight as an excuses to avoid real challenges, But, I don't expect that from you guys, afterall you're just fanboys.

    I disagree. Think he'd still be winning, but his opponents would be able to stick to their game plans and remain competitive. Most guys get hurt in rounds 1 or 2 and just start surviving.

    Sorry if I come across as dumb. I'm trying to formulate my arguments on a level you could understand.

    Evidently I am not talking down enough.

    So basically, he "ducked" guys at a weightclass that he's never fought at. Ward was even offered a fight with him and was all "doe, mah shoulder, doe, mah promoter." Can you imagine if Golovkin had blasted out Popkins? You think he'd get ANY credit?

    :lol:

    Did you take a short bus to school?

    That's an excuse? You don't understand what constitutes an excuse, do you? Look *sshole, you don't know a thing about me, so cut that sh*t.

    So you've used highly popular and ATG fighters as your criteria for 3G? Geez...sounds like you hold him to a higher esteem than I do.

    Moving up to prove greatness...you must be a casual fan.

    Can you give a point in time where 3G versus Ward was most realistic?

    BTW, there was no Hopkins duck. Don't be so gullible.

    ^ Somebody just got whooped :lol: Why do I get the feeling you waddle around all day in diapers and baby powder because of your galactic butthurt?

    PS - please write to Hopkins, Ward et al, and ask them why they are avoiding Usyk and Lebedev? Careful management, hmm?

    Read my earlier post, I stated that Golovkin's is a basic fighter with great punching power and wasn't what his fans and the media portrays him to be.
    I used those guys because Golovkin fans claim he's on par with if not better than some of those guys. There is a Roy Jones vs Golovkin thread floating around here, and Golovkin fans swear he would have massacred Roy Jones.
