    Yeah, the fighters who gave him trouble were guys that liked to counter and play defense. If you met him straight on, you were likely going to get ground down into fine dust.

    The Body Snatcher is so underrated around here its crazy (I mean very little discussion about him). He was one of the best ever to lace them up . . . a forgotten great.

    One of my favourite fighters and the second best JMW of all time (a whisker behind Hearns)

    Top notch write-up. Was wondering what the **** happened to you for a while. Thought you drank from Ibeabuchi's bottle or something.

    Soon as GG covers-up,McCallum would be on those ribs like BBQ sauce.

    His little stumpy arms don't cover his ribs.

    GG looks like he was designed by committee:lol:

    That is one strange lookin' child.

    A big bubble head resting atop a puny neck....the whole sad package riding upon legs so skinny they resmeble those of a crack-addled Flamingo with polio AND ricketts.

    It would be cute seeing Gennady throw his best stuff downstairs on Mike.

    ...like Nate Robinson throwing down a moderately impressive dunk in a contest with prime Jordan up next.

    Why are you judging another mans looks? Body snatcher has like 5 losses, he has got beaten up by lesser fighters than GGG. He lost to a frenchman? and kalambay that was blown out of the water in 1 round by nunn.

    :rofl You are such a massive hater. Funny as hell though unlike the delusional Klitschkocksucker Farmboxer.
    :lol: Well if this place managed to warp your mind it would only be a matter of time before IB and Mcgrain (though after the Maskaev-Williams RBR I'm afraid his sanity is long gone) were whisked off to the asylum. Then it would be me and a bunch of Polish builders and ghetto hoodrats hurling insults at one another.

    A fighter of equiavalent caliber and skill-set to Kalumbay would easily be the toughest opponent GGG would have faced.

    How do you know they were lesser fighters than GG??

    Golovkin has done NOTHING to actually PROVE he's better than Chavez jr let alone the guys that beat McCallum.:deal:deal:deal

    Chavez Jr has a better resume than GG and he's barely a real righter.:hi:

    If Stevens can make GG pull-back with his hands down....just imagine the mistakes The Bodysnatcher would induce.
