Gennady Golovkin vs A prime Anthony Mundine at 168

atsch FFS, I'll repeat it for you yet AGAIN: STYLES MAKE FIGHTS. Great fighters have been knocked out by average fighters who have gone on to do NOTHING. What has Proksa gone on to do?? Do you call Puritty a world class fighter because he KO Wlad Klitschko?? What has he done in his career?

Honestly, you're shooting yourself in the foot yet again and all for the sake of trying to troll.

 

Nice try. I'm just agreeing with what you said before you started your troll campaign. After all, it was you who said Sam Soliman would be a much more credible opponent. What does that say about the quality of Proksa (according to you)?

"Adapt to any style in order to win"? Yet it took Proksa two tries to beat a domestic level Kerry Hope and showed one of the worst defensive displays against both Hope and Golovkin and has never held a world title? Is that your idea of world class? atsch

 

Unless you have something intelligent to add, **** off troll. You don't contribute anything to discussions with your one liners of bull****. You don't know **** about boxing and I highly advise you don't comment on it because you embarrass yourself every time you do :hi:

 

This was a civil debate until you brought your one braincell into this thread.

 

It doesn't matter. He still lost and showed no improvement after the second fight. One of the key signs of a world class fighter is that he keeps improving. Proksa did not.

Are you seriously comparing Mundine to Kerry Hope?? I don't like the man but he was ten times the fighter Proksa was in 2009. Geale was a raw and untested MW and a very good case can be made that he won. Mundine was a top 5 MW at the time (or top 10 cant remember the Rings exact ranking) and Geale arguably beat him. So thats a stupid comparison.

Katsidis is a toss up. He had the power of a world class fighter but lacked the skill of one so that's anybodies call.

Sturm would put a Zbik like performance on against Proksa. Sturm would break him down using that jab of his and possibly stop him late. Proksa is not world class. Like I said before, Styles make fights and his was all wrong for SS. It happens. He went on to lose to domestic level KH and showed no defensive improvements against Golovkin. That is not the signs of a world class fighter.

So has Andre Ward. He's gone on to be the undisputed SMW champion. Geale got dropped a few times in his career and has gone on to unify to major world titles. BTW watch the fights. He always went on to comfortably win each of these fights that you think he "struggled" in. Like Josey said, it's all part of the learning curve.

 

Geales level of opposition up to that point was very low, so yes he was raw and had little experience fighting top 10 opposition. Ward is a much more talented fighter than Geale and there is no shame in admitting that .Ward beat Abraham, Kessler and Froch. That's all there is to it.

You would have a point if Proksa didn't fight Hope again. But he did so the style argument there is not very valid. Proksa was just **** and needed two go's to beat someone who is a domestic level fighter at best. If he went on to beat a top ten fighter, he would definitely be a world class fighter, but the fact remains that he didn't.

Mundine losing to Woods is far worse. Not to mention how crap Woods is. That was an embarrassing loss. However. the fact remains that Mundine at his peak could hang with the top guys (not saying he could beat them). He was ranked in the top 3 at SMW, top 5 at MW and has held two "world titles".
So no, my logic does not apply at all because of Mundines achievement and level of opposition.

Let me ask you a question now: Do you consider Sam Soliman to be world class?
