    GGG has far more skill than AA, but you know what I mean, his power may not carry up as well, maybe it will, neither of us know for sure.

    Go listen to Julius Jackson's interview with Bayloric TV.
    Jackson was in GGG's camp when Groves was there.

    You have a point as GGG is a normal sized MW and the jump to 168 is one of the hardest in boxing. Yet I feel uneasy byyou comparing a fluid boxer puncher like Golovkin to a moving punching bag.

    At the end of the day, until he moves up we simply won't really know. I think he'll take his power with him and it derives from his exceptional punching technique. That being said, he will be at a size disadvantage to most if not all the fighters at SMW and this is most fighter's undoing.

    GGG shoulnd't make Abrahams mistake and head up to SMW as long as he can easily make weight at MW. Abraham carried good power at MW but looked to have lost all his power when facing SMWs.

    GG was starting camp and GGG was 1/2 week or so out from Geale fight.

    Heard GG ribs were injured yea- but more than held his own in sparing .

    He gave a lot of credit to GGG and said what a superb fighter he is.

    But obviously when asked about the sparring as well as giving credit, he was also giving insight as to how he got on in the spar and mentioned about catching GGG with the jab - hardly running GGG down.

    I'm sure his ego must be in ruins :roll: after being beaten in the biggest all British fight in years by a hail mary shot he didn't shy away, he showed balls and character by seeking out sparring with arguably the most feared fight in the sport right now.
