Never said that but it's funny when ggg cheerleaders say ggg easliy stops Hearns or other ATGs , when in reality he only stopped bum after bum once he fought top elite fighter's he couldn't stop $h!7
It's absolutely baffling that a guy who struggled with Danny Jacobs is being picked to smoke Tommy Hearns.
It's absolutely embarassing that a guy who got knocked out by Iran Barkley is favoured to beat GGG or a guy who struggled with James Kinchen who is worse than Jacobs, still good though.
I love Hearns and he's probably my favorite fighter to watch but I'm leaning towards GGG with his chin, bodywork and combinations.
Tough one to call. Hearns fought better opposition, and may just win the battle of the jabs, that could be the difference maker in this fight. If Hearns lets this become a brawl like the Hagler fight, I have to favor GGG. If he choses to box from the outside I like his chances.
Haha, excellent post, I salute you on this one sir Good points but GGG and Iran Barkley are very different - IB was deceptively quick, relentless and wasn't concerned about getting hit even by a lethal puncher like Hearns. Golovkin is technically a better boxer than Barkley but he is also slow, one paced and as Salhund pointed out he looked tentative about closing the range once he tasted Canelo's power and Saul ain't no puncher at least compared to Hearns.
Hearns is my favorite fighter, but unfortunately for him GGG chin is A+ and if he can take his power I can see him stopping Tommy late. On the other side GGG is not as relentless as Hagler and not quick like SRL. If Hearns boxes without machismo he can win, I see him even hurting GGG with his brutal left hook to the body.
But GGG has a vert swift jab and his punches comes very suddenly, they might be slow but you dont see them coming, thats the reason why Canelo who is the best defensive boxer around got hit a **** ton by GGG ans that was a 36 year old Golovkin, if you watch his earlier tapes, Golovkin was actually fairly quick and lost that speed in favour of more thudding power. I think Golovkin does well h2h vs everyone at MW, Hagler v GGG would he some fight
