Who knows. You're only speculating, however the FACT is, he ran away like a second rate boxer. The FACT is, Kovalev took the fight that Little g ran from and now Kovalev is considered > Golovkin.
Wilder had a lot of problems with Szpilka's ring movement. Szpilka really did well in keeping distance and moving his head and that enabled him to go 10 rounds. Wilder had to wait patiently for Szpilka to come forward and catch him with a perfectly timed right counter. This is exactly what Wilder will do to Povetkin who does not move half as well as Szpilka and will come inside way earlier with a chin like an open bank vault. Wilder will be extra motivated by that ~$1M dollars that is in escrow that goes to the fights winner. He won't let that money go anywhere but in his own pockets.
. Ggg could choose to be like mayweather? What are you basing this on? He was getting out maneuvered and pot-shotted by Monroe until he cut off the ring and broke him down. Ggg is a great fighter but come on man
yes GGG uses different styles in his fights if you haven't noticed this by now ... :rolleyes you have the careful GGG boxer then after he figures out his opponent he goes for the KO like a pitbull , relentless effective aggression
Gennady Golovikin is a WORK-IN-PROCESS. He is "great" for the SPORT! I critasize HIM (however) for holding IBO. & it --really-- is on the major groups to "allow" expansion ["Do we need FOUR" groups? NO, Of course. SO....we need to "stop" it RIGHT THERE. "Lennox" at BoxRec recently began a "UBO"* ("XBO"?)] My top-5 current hour mega-stars are: Kovelev, Ward, Gennady*, Saul Alvarez, Manny Pac (in no particular order). * = "damned//IBO".
I was thinking about what kind of food this new kind of Rap and these new fighters remind me of as I sat eating a bowl of Bread pudding. Bread pudding is made for old bread, raisins, milk and eggs, but I can't say that Golovkin or Kanye West reminds me of this dish. Bread pudding really tastes better than the old ingredients used in making it. Then I remembered an old folks recipe my Grandmother and father used to make and eat called Mincemeat pie. Mincemeat pie is made for all the leftovers and scapes of food in the fridge, thrown together in a pie crust. I hated that stuff and couldn't understand how my grandparents liked it. This is what GiGi and Kanye remind me of; Mincemeat pie, thrown together with leftovers that tastes worst then the original ingredients. Golovkin is the mincemeat pie of champions.
