Golovkin discussion thread.

That's why I cringed when I heard (whether true or not) that GGG said he could make 154 to fight Floyd.

Now everybody handles stuff differently, but the thought of a drained GGG fighting Mayweather is not my cup of tea.

Remember what happened to Dawson, when he thought it was a good idea to drain himself down to fight Ward. Yeah we saw how great that turned out for Chad...

 

Floyd would get his head separated from his shoulders, think the start of the Mosley fight except the head would actually come off.

 

*152lbs

 

TBE would knock drained GGG out

 

"TBE" couldn't knock snow off a rope, lil Pacman was laughing at his punches chasing him around the ring.

 

really? Why was Pacquiao fighting like a timid ***** then?

 

Floyd kept running away from him, you can't punch what isn't there.

"his punches didn't hurt me, I never felt them" - Pacquiao

 

I would WANT him to be evasive against GGG. It is asinine to think it would be wise to sit in the pocket and exchange with a power puncher like GGG who can cut the ring off and even at a catch weight, would probably be entering the ring at near 170. Then again, Maidana entered the ring in the high 160's against Floyd himself.

This guy is a middleweight considering moving to 168 and this is who guys want Floyd to fight. Whats next, Deontae Wilder?

 

in that first round, Manny got first wind of a hard right hand that made him think twice ever since. You could see that look of defeat in between the 1st and 2nd round

 

Pacquiao was just working shit out, he started nailing him in the 3rd, stormed him in the 4th, 6th and outpunched him in the 7th, 9th and 10th.

He didn't sweat Floyd's punches at all, while Floyd was running and holding for dear life.

 

You can certainly make that argument. Though I think many of us expected Pac-Man to come out like a bat outta hell in that first round, and you did get that "here we go again" feeling after that first round. However, to Manny's credit he did make adjustments and started closing that gap in the 2nd round and I thought from round 2 on it was very competitive.

 

yeah and he still lost most of those rounds

 

Well Sugar Ray Robinson was very good so it's possible.

 

ggg is too big
