Golovkin goes for KO's, that is why his defense doesn't look elite

Love Mayweather or hate him, no one switches from defense to offense better than Floyd. I don't know why you'd lump Mayweather in the conversation.

 

Just going by his KO percentage and how much punishment he takes in a fight as a measurement of his defense. I think he is elite with respect to the way he fights to get the KO. Some other elites defensive fighters with impressive KO percentage includes the K brothers and Tyson.

Great defense. Textbook. Block, catch, parry, bob, weave, slip, counter, jab, and controls his distance. It works for him. Now do you have a clue what I am talking about.

 

That's not true, Mayweather has a fifty percent connect ratio. The best in boxing. That's offense up the yang yang and that's with the best defense in boxing.

 

What offense?! a leaping left hook? a single shot right? CANNOT throw a combination if his life depended on it..no pop in his shots at all.

GO BACK TO BED SON!

 

Knocked Hatton out with a left hook, threw various combinations on Ortiz before treating him like a ***** with a left hook right hand combo. Hit the Ghost with uppercuts, left hooks and a right hand that was thrown four different ways. Threw plenty of combos on Cotto. Hit Canelo with left hooks and a tremendous uppercut, then fell up under his right hand and hit him with a four punch combo. What offense, it seems you don't watch much Mayweather.:bbb

 

When was the last time Floyd even got a knockout???

Meanwhile... GGG has knocked out his last 16 in a row

 

It's called power.

 

There is absolutely nothing in boxing this black and white. Golovkin doesn't have "**** defense" but it doesn't look as good as Mayweather's just because he "goes for KOs."

That's ridiculous.

 

... Against tomato cans. I would like to see him against non cab drivers.

 

Like Ortiz or Khan:think

 

When GGG fights world class guys who outweigh him by 15+lbs on fight night I guess his KO ratio will decrease. Also GGG has more of a power punchers style in the way he turns over his punches. GGG is a very good elite fighter but we will see in time whether he will become an ATG.

 

Worse. Ortiz and Khan have names.
