Nothing amazing about GGG. Now don't get me wrong, he is an excellent fighter but when you use the word amazing, I be looking for some spiderman type shiit.
Funny because a while back people thought the way to fight Golovkin is to outbox him. I've always said you can't outbox Golovkin. You have to keep him from imposing his will on you and fight him on the inside. Seriously irked me that people thought the key was to outbox Golovkin.
He's beating most of the top MW's in the world. And nobody can even do anything, but just take a bad KO loss. He has power, he has a chin and he has skill. Right now he's just a boogeyman. If you want to beat him how would you do it? I wouldn't even know where to begin. If you try and outbox him he cuts off the ring. If you try and slug with him you find that he hits way harder than you do. How the F does that even make sense?
To beat him, you need (at least) extra long reach, a lot of punches, fast and strong straight right hand in the middle and good chin.
Every time an opponent is trying to clinch, GGG extends his arms, lowers his head to an opponent neck and chin and makes a forward and back movement with a body as it wrestling/mma fight that leaves a poor clinching guy in an unfavorable position. It's a badass half legal move, but so is holding. GGG wrestles as part of his training camp, this is a usual practice for him. He's developed a strong core that poses a problem to anybody who will try to out-wrestle him. People have to understand that this guy is a student of the game, he is developing in every aspect of the game in order to keep winning.
In order to beat him to have to have strong sharp jab to keep him at long distance and ability to hold/clinch to get on the inside and try to outbox in the phone booth, i.e. you have to be able to do everything possible not to give GGG operate in his favorable mid-range distance. Possible to do? Idk. GGG's jab is one of the best in the businessl, so he can still win a war of jabs.
Yup. I've seen the vid of him teaching the move to a young LHW sparring partner. He basically said that it forces a cut. The way he fights in a clinch will bust your head open, which is what he'll be trying to do, so overall don't fight in a clinch with him. Lol.
Ok genius name ONE fighter in the MW division that you feel is a TOP guy who will get in the ring with Golovkin?
