Golovkin into HW?

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by iWantToLearnEng, Mar 31, 2013.

  1. Mike Tyson is 5'10 with an reach of 71'

    GGG is 5'10 with an reach of 73 1/2 '

    Gouge my words into stone. This guy won't have any serious opponents in all those divisions around him.

    He could follow Roy Jones Jr.'s footsteps and step up in the HW division to revolutionize this boring divison.

    Will he do this step during the next 10 years?

    Golovkins sparringpartner, Amateur heavyweight and future US prospect David Imoesiri claims that Golovkin hits harder than Povetkin.

    Good step up for Golovkin would be Adamek, Thompson, Banks or Scott.

    Could he finally end the K2 era? Wlad will be in the business for maybe 5 more years.

    Okay, so he would have to put on about 50 lbs, how would he be effective after that? :lol:

    He would KO Wlad in 1 round. He would break Haye's toe with a jab to the face. He will cure AIDS and bring about World peace. I predict he will build a time machine to go back and beat every great fighter that ever lived - all by first round KO. He will then become the World's strongest man and KO Jesus every Easter.

    Doug Fischer, Steve Kim, and Julian Jackson all watched Golovkin sparring two CW's in preperation for his Proksa fight and here is some parts from Fischer's article with quotes from his sparring partners.

    (Note - Imoesiri fought at HW in WSB with no headgear under pro rules and had a close fight with 2x Olympic Silver Medallist Clemente Russo)

    “The dude can hit, I’m still getting used to it,” said Imoesiri, who like Coyne, is delightfully bright and articulate. “It’s crazy.

    “That’s why I have to put him in with big guys,” said Sanchez.

    He gets silly.

    Punches like a top HW, can't be hurt by MWs or JMWs. CWs are terrified of him

    Be afraid, boxing world. Be very afraid
