Just imagine how much more credit among boxing fans would GGG get if....

I always thought he needed to rape a bit more

 

Please enlighten us with all the all time greats GGG has fought at his 34 years of age.

 

Please tell us when has GGG gone up two weight classes.

 

No I don't because it doesn't.

 

(Hand up) Uh...Uh...I know that answer. It is the same answer for how many ATGs Joe Calzaghe faced before facing old and ancient Bernard Hopkins. NONE!

When cornered lets insult, hahaha, great tactic. Just love it, now tell me this why GGG doesn't go down 3-5lbs to face a so called coward.

 

What you fail to realize is that Kovalev is a harder match up for Ward than GGG is. Ward would absolutely abuse GGG on the inside as he's the bigger and stronger fighter. He may or may not be able to do that to Kovalev because he's the bigger man. Ward would also beat GGG on the outside. GGG has not fought anyone remotely close to that of a Andre Ward who's arguably the most complete fighter in the sport toady he can fight at all ranges with a high ring IQ and good defense. Ward will make GGG very uncomfortable because he hasn't fought anyone on Ward's level. Ward will take away GGG's jab rough his ass up on the inside and beat him to the punch from the outside he will control the center of the ring, GGG is very easy to hit hell Monroe Jr and Stevens hit his ass at will. This is chess not checkers. Who has GGG demonstrated this elite ability against Wade? Monroe Jr? Are you serious? I'll take a guy like Ward who's faced and beat elite fighters anyday over a question mark like GGG.

You overrate power like most novice boxing fans not realizing that power can be smothered or neutralized by moving away from the power hand or he may be able to take it. You act as if Ward is easy to hit clean Ward has been in with big punchers before so don't act as if he hasn't. We don't know how hard GGG punches because he's never fought anyone with a pulse or the defense or ring IQ of a Ward or at 168. Skills pay the bills here and you will realize that if they ever meet in the ring.

 

Why not, Mike Tyson was the youngest heavyweight in history. So your saying that GGG hasn't fought journeymen.

 

He would actually get less credit.

 

Kovalev is actually a much better win for Ward than Golovkin.
I mean, who has Golovkin beat? Nobody.

Kovalev has much better wins and is a much more difficult opponent for Ward.

Had Ward fought Golovkin it would have been 100:1 odds to Ward who would win another one-sided UD victory, but Ward-Kovalev is nuch more fluid and is going to be fireworks.

 

Eeexactly! How can you call it a duck if your going up in weight to fight the biggest and baddest LHW in the world, who has proved himself and fought the best in his division.
