Bivol is technically better GGG had more power and decent technical skills I will say Golovkin, although I'm a Bivol fan too.
Golovkin is the more complete fighter. He could fight inside, on the outside, going forwards and backwards. His punch variety was far greater, he had the better jab, a vicious body attack and obviously the power. Bivol is not nearly the all-rounder that GGG is. Bivol does one thing well, which is being elusive and fast and with tremendous straight combination punching. He is specialized in his skillset and very very good at what he does. But that doesn't mean he is more "complete".
Prime Bivol schooled Clenelo without having to move out of second gear all night and when Clenelo tried his hardest to impose himself on Bivol and try and get a foothold in the fight Bivol slipped into third and immediately put him back in his place. To be fair, Bivol did weigh between 3-5lbs max more than him though. Obviously Clenelo wanted nothing to do with a prime GGG and he ducked him but when he did manage to locate his little chicken balls GGG beat him comprehensively in their first fight and then he beat a juiced version of him in the rematch because Clenelo knew he had to cheat to even stand a chance against a past prime GGG even though he knew he had the judges in his pocket, weighed more than GGG, and that he was in his prime and GGG was past his. Obviously his judges robbed GGG in both fights though and Clenelo ducked the trilogy until GGG was 40 y/o even though it was the biggest fight out there for him and the fans were desperate to see it. To be fair, he also ducked the rematch against Bivol too. How would a past prime 35-37 y/o Bivol do against a prime Clenelo? I think he'd beat him too but a 35-37 y/o Clenelo could never beat a prime Bivol or GGG or 35-37 y/o versions of them, let alone if they were on the juice like Clenelo. GGG>>Bivol>>Clenelo
Bivol easily. GGG just hit much harder. If Bivol hit as hard as GGG this wouldn't even be a question.
Absolute Bull Feces every word " Life & Death" ROFLMAO ROFLMAO The Vegas judges gave Ginger two decisions he in no way deserved & even you know it GGG schooled him. Now the third was closer GGG was over 40 but still Ginger couldn't put him away that fight was closer A GGG-Bivol with both prime would be a great fight one I'd have liked to see. Bivol didn't just beat Canelo he Whupped his butt Canelo barely won a round but his judges made it look a close fight . Even those reprobates couldn't sink to giving Ginger yet ANOTHER Vegas gift draw If he'd tried harder GGG could have beaten Ginger in the third but he knew himself he was NEVER going to get a decision in Vegas even if he KO'd Ginger 3 times. As it was GGG just played with Ginger all fight long & at the final bell Ginger was exhausted GGG was still fresh. If they had 2 more rounds to go GGG could have stopped the Ginger fraud he was ripe for the picking. Canelo King of Boxing ???? ROFLMAO Clown Joker maybe Let him slink away & retire while fans boycott his BS
I would say GGG. Both are super in boxing technique but one got phisical gifts which make him just born to be perfect boxer. Bivol is quicker, better dancer, better defence but Gennady was just monster. He got titanium chin, great, great power, one of best and tremendous power jab and this kind of pression that make You feel super uncomfortable when You fight him. Bivol is perfect student of boxing. His skills are great but Gennady was phenomenal on physical aspects. He was often lighter than other dudes like vs Lemieux but still his fights looks like fight beetwen crown up man vs child. And all this news about him beating on sparring even Kovalev. That's not science-fiction. He was very, very Sharp man.
I agree with the sentiments that Bivol is technically superior and GGG is predominantly all about power. For me Bivol has more to his game being technically superior so he gets my vote.
This! I don't think we have seen Bivol's ceiling yet - so let's see what happens when he rumbles with the Beterbeast!
The only way to seriously compare these two is to imagine a full fledge light heavyweight version of GGG. If GGG'S 22 title defenses, 20 by ko, was at 175lbs, GGG being maybe 6 ft tall. The question would be, could Bivol out box GGG as he is being walked down for 12 rounds. Bivols power wouldn't bother GGG. GGG has the jab, the cruiserweight power as a light heavyweight and the chin. Comparing them in this perspective, i would favor GGG.
Clenelo never fought a prime GGG but he still should be 1-2 against him even though he needed PEDs to be more competitive against an even more past prime version of him in the rematch. GGG was 40 y/o and way past his best the only time in three attempts where Clenelo was actually able to legitimately beat him The weight difference between Clenelo and GGG would've been roughly about the same as it was between Bivol and Clenelo after Clenelo morphed into Hulknelo due to jousting all that juice in his ass Clenelo was willing to fight a prime Bivol, whereas, conversely, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with a prime GGG and the only reason he eventually he was coerced out of the coop was because he was shamed into doing so after the good people of Mexico crucified him for embarrassing them, their country, and all the great Mexican warriors who came before him by shamelessly ducking GGG and even then he only did so because he saw the signs of decline in GGG he'd been biding his time waiting for while he was quivering in the coop. And even worse, after his judges robbed GGG blind in the first fight, as said, Clenelo had to jack himsef full of PEDs for the rematch because he knew he could never beat GGG fair and square without having the judges in his pocket and without jacking himself full of PEDs. This isn't rocket science
