    ...For a while. But eventually he will meet someone who can deal with his power either by avoiding his shots or having a tremendous chin, or both.
    The biggest danger to Golovkin is to think that he can start cutting corners because he's a puncher, and this is a trap many punchers eventually fall into.

    He looks like a pretty grounded sort of guy, but power is intoxicating. He'd be best served to just concentrate on the fundamentals and the power shots will take care of themselves.

    Geale gets knocked out in 3 because he lost to someone with only power?? Geale must be a total bum then.
    No, in fact its more than that, GGG is better in all departments than Geale, Canelo or Cotto, he is a nighmare for anyone and makes other champs look like bums, deal with it.

    I'd love to see Canelo-Golovkin. They both put together great combinations, both hit hard and both have a similar style. They plod forward trying to land a hard combination and both try to really dig their punches in.

    GGG is good, but he is 32... and the quality of his opposition has been mediocre at best....he has great skill, but fighting mediocre competition we never will find out if he really has the power he seems to display, or is a matter of the competition level....and that's why I am not sold on him...if he was 24 ...that's another story...

    And you can say maybe his career parallel that of great Cuban Mantequilla Napoles ... But even at 32 his resume was more impressive than GGG

    the guy is knocking people out. it's not his power is how he land those bombs fairly easy.

    now, did you watch how drainelo punched the air helplessly?

    now contrast this to how theftjr decisions bums and washedups.

    you get a fair idea where ggg sits.:good

    ''Without a shadow of a doubt, he's definitely the best kid I've ever fought,' said Macklin, whose record falls to 29 wins with five defeats in 34 professional outings.
    'I had a plan to exploit his weakness which was his lack of experience - he's only been 10 rounds once - but credit to him, he didn't even let me get into any kind of rhythm at all.
    'He was patient, he was hard to hit clean, kept the pressure on, picked his punches well and that body shot took it out of me.''

    Of his opponent's power, Macklin said, "Every shot is hard, even his jab. The reason he got me so good to the body is I was preoccupied with defending the uppercuts that he got me downstairs."

    this is what im talking about. he is going to show you something, show you something, then boom, he gets full leverage on a power shot because the other guy is busy defending something else.
