Golovkin is in another class than Bute. Golovkin is a 160 lb. fighter while Chavez is a cruiserweight...............
Let's say a boxer wins every round of fight until the eleventh, where he get caught by shot, and then get ktfo in the 12th. It would be hard, if the guy was the champ, to say he was just a hypejob. Bute was caught in the first rounds, and never recovered. Bute won against Bika, who is now a champ, and won convincingly against top opposition for years. Bute was legit... and was dismantle by Froch. GGG is also legit.
Except he'd already gotten more or less stopped once, and was fighting away from home for the first time, being the hometown hero in Canada.
average titleholder who Ward refused to fight < iron chinned warrior who doesn't know when to quit walking punching bag who blocks punches with his face < one of the best all around boxers with a big punch in the sport
Time will tell, we will find out after Chavez fight whether he was a pure hypejob, everything he's hyped up to be or perhaps somewhere between the two (I know, captain obvious stuff ). I just hope people who are saying Chavez will expose him do not backtrack after the fight if GGG wins with the "Oh Chavez was a bum" and then pick the next guy to "expose" him.
lol GGG is going to destroy Chavez Jr.'s face. He will need a plastic surgery after he is done. GGG is not the GOAT but he is a step above Chavez Jr. A legit Heavy hitting middleweight warrior.
