He says GGG obviously hits extremely hard but that he was surprised at how skilful and technically good he was. He also said that GGG is easily the best fighter he's shared a ring with either in sparring or a real fight and that Khan is by far the fastest. He referred to Khan's speed as ''sobrenatural'' which translates to supernatural in English.
I'm honest enough to admit that outside of a handful of useless phrases my Spanish is nonexistent and my interpretation of what he said might not be the most accurate or even remotely accurate at all.
It's funny how everyone who fights or spars Golovkin comments on how good he is (except Canelo, though he did claim the power was 10/10 despite shrugging it off post fight), yet people still pretend Golovkin is overrated/overhyped.
Ppl. mostly say that due to the lack of substance in most of his title defenses, clearly ignoring that from Sturm to Sexy Sergio(e) to Cotto to Canelo, the entire elite avoided him in his best years. Nonetheless, he never jumped up or down a weight to fight the elite in another neighborhood, and when he did get the opportunity to face Clen x2, he never looked the unstoppable machine HBO hyped him up to be. Hence most of the criticism from armchair fans.
GGG... if he went over to America when he was 24-25, he'd be in top 20 best boxers ever, beat what many consider p4p number 1 fighter in Canelo twice when he was 35 and 36, age at which most MWs are considered shot to pieces.
So you mean he should have turned pro in the US? Because he turned pro at 24. The funny thing is that Germany had a very, very strong middleweight scene back in circa 2008 and so. Realistically, Golovkin was in a really good position. But he got ****ed over by the powers that be. Golovkin really did waste the first 5 years of his pro run. And unfortunately he arrived on HBO when middleweight hit a weak era. Martinez was tied to Chavez Jr. and he then suffered multiple injuries. Then Cotto did his thing and Alvarez followed suit. Meanwhile Golovkin did face a fair amount of quality opponents, but they held little name value.
