Golovkins temperament is a big dissapointment.

the comparison with Tyson is interesting.

Can you imagine a prime Mike tyson refuse to let his hands go​

no question about Tyson's greatness, but let's look at prime Tyson--who was a wrecking machine but he didn't KO everyone he faced, even less-than-elite opponents

1986, fought James "Quick" Tillis who had six losses on his record at the time; the fight went the distance, UD for Tyson​

same year, 1986, Tyson vs Mitch "Blood" Green, this fight also went the distance (UD for Tyson)​

 

Name one fight where Floyd ran as much as Lara did vs Canelo. Floyd was a bit runny vs Pacman but did enough work in enough rounds to win the fight. Floyd didnt run vs Canelo, Maidana, Guererro, Cotto, Dela Hoya, Castillo, Corrales, Judah, Hatton, all his biggest fights. Lara on the other hand ran after feeling those body shots. Doesnt mean the Lara fight wasnt close and COULD have been scored 6-6- or 7-5 in favor of Lara. But I scored it in favor of Canelo as did most

 

Granted I was a little disappointed in him myself but scared is not something I’ve heard said about him.
Never have I seen anyone held to a standard like Golovkin,even Usyk who’s doing great things at Cruiserweight isn’t expected to KO everyone every time?

 

Personally I’ve never gotten the thing about Floyd being a runner,most of the time he was in the pocket and still couldn’t be touched.

 

Only in the most deluded of minds.

 

So would I cause I’m sure all of us thought after the knockdown for GGG to go for the finish but strangely it just didn’t happen albeit Jacobs did up his game also.
One would expect it be tougher against the best but I know exactly what you mean,I still think if he treated em like Brook who clearly he had no respect for then you’d think he could stop em as psyically even now he puts on heat none can match but if it’s a mental thing from telling us he’s never been hurt then it’s something he’s gonna have to sort out or else he will lose if left to the judges.
You know against Canelo I’m just not sure if Golovkin was thinking in there and Abel Sanchez did nothing to make him think as they were so focused on work rate and those last thirty secs of each round it looked to me like Golovkin was just head hunting a moving target instead of falling back on his drilled routines like those mad touch jabs which set up the body.
I’ll be so disappointed if Golovkin doesn’t address those things and yet with the best Canelo I’ve ever seen it says something about Golovkin that he can still earn a draw(win in many’s books)whilst looking less than stellar.

 

tyson was faster more explosive, and probably hit harder, he also had a lesser chin, less patience, and his style meant he couldnt have any longevity, his stamina was blown out. ggg is a better fighter past prime than tyson was. peak tyson was a machine though.

 

If golovkin has any of that non stop show no respect style left we might just see it in the rematch because golovkins got to be angry and have that extra motivation to leave everything he has left to really hurt Canelo because that team took his 0 he can never have a perfect record now so hopefully we see that golovkin

 

Golovkin has always been a patient fighter. He never rushes his work. The issue with Canelo and Jacobs was that he was playing the patient game for far too long and often because they weren't going to open themselves up to be timed. Golovkin as a come forward pressure fighter throwing punches in bunches has never really been his schtick. He nearly lost the Jacobs fight because he didn't do it, the Canelo fight was where he adapted into the mould after realising he wasn't going to time Canelo. So I guess if you expected him to be a ruthless wrecking ball it would let you down.

But I've always viewed GGG as a patient methodical fighter.

 

After reading these posts I've finally realized that GGG is really just a big wuss..

 

LOL at anyone coming to a conclusion about a fighter based on what they read here
