GGG reminds me of Edwin Valero

Difference is skill level.

Valero was a KO artist, but was not polished and was very limited. GGG is a well rounded fighter with great technique, skill, power, chin.

 

I don't we got to see how good Valero was though

 

Golovkin is levels above Valero

 

Valero was awesome . His fight with Mosquera was a dandy. That said, Edwin was not nearly as polished as Golovkin.

GGG will prove what he is just as soon as these guys sign to fight him. Just you wait!

 

Yeah, fighters vacate their belts not to fight him, but it's bull****, it's obviously Golovkin "not stepping up". **** outta here.

 

So then why is Cotto threatening to vacate if the wbc make GGG his mando?

 

No. Golovkin has already stepped up far beyond the level to which Valero did.

 

Golovkin reminds me of Chris Benoit!

 

They're nothing alike. Honestly, Valero was bound to lose as he started stepping up his level of competition. He had good power, but he was technically flawed and very easy to hit. His win over DiMarco was impressive, no doubt, but I remember he was in talks afterwards to possibly fight Manny at LW. What a one sided destruction that would've been.

GGG has a much greater skill set compared to Edwin.

 

Gotta go off topic right quick...

I just cooked up some Carando Apple Cider Cured Bacon... EPIC.

:smoke

 

:scaredas:

 

Valero's power was over rated. When you have fought 28 bums out of 30 fights, you should stop everyone. Mosquera was his best win, and that was in the middle of his career. DeMarco was young and green, and just isn't that good. Broner showed more power against DeMarco than Valero did. Golovkin, at least shows real power, although he has been fighting mostly real soft opposition. When shopworn Kassim Ouma is one of your best opponents, and actually had the most success against you, you ain't fought much yet. Golovkin has beaten Murray. Nobody else on Golovkin's resume would be a top 10 middleweight in the 90s, hell Murray probably wouldn't be either.
