GGG first two sport champion? High level grappling skills

[D4thincarnation]

There have been many two sport champions.

We all know the eastern europeans dominate freestyle wrestling. Given Golovkin's balance and strength no doubt he could become a mma champion.

MMA fighters don't know how to punch. They also cant take a punch. This is a sport that Brock Lesnar was a champion in.

6 months sprawl training and GGG is a mma champion.

video below shows what a gifted athlete GGG is. Take down skills are great for a boxer.

What in the ****s name is that? One of Wladimir Klitschko's sparring partners or something?

It would take more than six months of sprawl training to defend against world class wrestlers (give it two to five years) these guys been training ever since kids in wrestling/jujutsu and six months is nothing, that's like saying six months of training to slip punches you can slip ALL of mayweathers punches even though he been doing this his whole life.
Also he would have to learn to defend against kicks (he could defend against kicks with a simple step back or side step so he wouldn't have to block or let the kick touch him) though he would have to drill this anyway and doing this type of training would be stupid. He would have to train to defend against kicks and wrestling which would take him two to five years and mma doesn't pay no where near the amount of money boxers make unless your Anderson silva or penn or lesnar.

he could fck up his shoulders doing all that shtt

Scary to imagine GGG:s power with those 4 oz gloves. That look Stevens made was with 10 oz, what will be the reaction with 4 oz.

My bad, Paul Buentello more credible than Todd Duffee?

slightly.. but they are both more credible than nilson julio tapia. in case you are wondering who the hell that is its the guy golovkin beat for his MW title.

overeem held all but one HW title in mma, obviously the one he was missing was the most legitimate one. but golovkin isnt lineal champion in boxing himself. he won a vacant title against some guy nobody ever heard of.

im not trying to take credit away from golovkin, really. but if you are going to dismiss overeem as a world champion by the logic you are then you need to do the same to golovkin. his reign is no more legit than overeems, less if anything.

how about that australian heavyweight, shane something..I forget his name. wasn't he a champion rugby player and now a heavyweight champ?

anthony mundine ?
