Gennady Golovkin - Counter-Punching - Film Study

His counterpunching routinely gets sold short when, in reality, that's the endgame of his pressure - style offensive approach.

 

Really ? That you've ever seen ? Oh I think Hearn at MW, Hagler, Roy Jones, Gene Fulmer (OMG the difference in power), Ezzard Charles.. And I could name 10 more... Wow.....

 

james Toney. Mike McCallum also had more power than GGG....

 

Good stuff. Sure makes a welcome change from the usual pac**** spam that infests this place

 

Big re.****ed George keep it stom

 

GGG is overrated badly

 

How?

 

Because resume! :tired

 

anybody can look like somebody if they are fighting nobodies.

GGG is a talent...but people are acting like he is the second coming of jesus.

 

Not to sound like an over the top GGG fan boy but

the nobodies GGG fought gave some somebodies tough fights

Macklin who Golovkin took care of took Martinez to deep water scoring a knockdown and being somewhat close on the cards around the 9th or 10th round and had a very controversial loss to Sturm

Geale unified titles and defeated Sturm a long time belt holder and Golovkin beat him easily

Rubio went 12 with Chavez and 9 or 10 with Pavlik and Golovkin basically made him quit very early

Not saying these are HOF guys that make him an ATG and I'm not crowning GGG as superior to Hagler or Monzon or Hopkins but he has beaten world class middles who were troublesome for others

Murray I thought beat Martinez and gave a good account drawing with Sturm, if Golovkin puts him away early thats a good sign that his power is very real in comparison to his contemporaries who couldnt do what he did with the same competition

 

People see only his K.O power when in reality his superior boxing skills and ring IQ make him such a ferocious beast in the ring.

:good

 

Golovkin is great boxer. People look at him and see aggression, but he does so many things in there that even other boxers don't understand.

He uses his skills to set up shots and lands shots otherwise unavailable to most boxers. He makes KOs look easy, but only because he knows what he's doing in the ring.

A lot of boxers have talent, but Golovkin has skills. Skill is the refinement of talent and while some boxers look like they possess skill, what they actually possess is just talent, not skill.
