Would Roy Jones Jr be able to take Gennady Golovkins power?

Martinez was shot and was destroyed by career welterweight Cotto.
Cotto was shot and was destroyed by little Ali.

Beating Martinez and Cotto would be two known names in Golovkin's resume but Martinez was wayyyy past his prime and Cotto was way past his prime and outside his best weight.

Golovkin being ducked is just a myth. Lara, Trout, Ward, and even an undefeated Derevyanchenko all wanted Golovkin.

Considering Golovkin claimed multiple times that he would fight anyone between 154-175, he had options.

 

Ah yes, the ol "anybody from eastern europe is a cheater" argument. We have reached peak forum, guys.

 

I'm guessing that you need glasses then. Because the actual evidence supports me.

 

What evidence, you didn't prove anything at all.

 

Yeah I don't have time to walk kiddies through it. See my previous posts.

 

I don't think this is a question. Not becasue Roy could take Gennadys punch,but assuming Roy would ever be hit in the first place

 

no...just go ahead and go full hyperbole at the drop of a hat. holy ****. no. of course. you're completely objective here.

you may have the last word.

 

??Jones had better power than Lemieux ?? LOL
Have you seen what Lemieux did to Stevens ??

You misunderstand me, but then again I didn't make the point very clearly.

RJJ was way quicker than GGG. I don't dispute that. But albeit the difference in their speed is clear, it is not enough to shut GGG out, even less with a younger golovkin.

Add to that, like i said, that GGG goes forward with one of the greatest chins ever in the division, so he can be pretty ruthless. I saw him getting tagged with a hard punch while already throwing his own and still severely hurting his opponent with his own punch. I watch enough boxing to confidently say that that is extremely rare. Now contemplate this kind of pressure over twelve rounds for someone used to be able to slow the pace down.

GGGs advantage is obviously his toughness and constant punching power. I just argued that he will be able to deliver it over the span of twelve rounds. And he will be able to apply constant pressure.

And out of courtesy don't call this thread embarassing instead of an argument. All you said in your reply was that RJJ is arguably the fastest fighter ever. Which maybe goes for the division AND only for single punches or combinations when prepared. We're certainly not talking footwork here and I didn't see him outspeed others in the same manner when he was on the move.

So add to my arguments that it gets even more interesting when GGG is able to push RJJ back and make him move a lot. Now you have a constantly pressuring and punching GGG vs a moving RJJ always resetting himself to fight in bursts with single punches and combinations.

And mind that I didn't say who wins. Because I am not sure. Either might win. Both are amazing.

 

Golovkin is as probably a better fighter than Tyson in his prime. Issue with western fighters is that by the time they turn pro they are on the downslide. He was 34 against Jacobs and people point to that fight to call him a hype job. That said prime RJJ should be favored against anybody

 

GGG had heavy thudding power not that explosive sharp power. Roy too fast for him and picks him apart.

 

RJJ hit plenty hard. But in no universe does he bang harder than Lemieux.

 

Prime GGG vs post Tarver RJJ wins on points.

Prime RJJ vs Canelo III GGG wins on points.

Prime RJJ vs prime GGG then RJJ wins on points.

Nobody knocks nobody out.

 

We never saw "prime Roy" - only ROID .
