by someone who has genuine power....
it's one thing stalking your prey and unleashing bombs when there's no threat of being knocked out.... whole different scenario when someones returning fire...
only disappointing thing is, i don't expect to see this happening anytime soon...
since golovkin = big risk, little reward.... in the same category as guys like matthysse....
there's very few pacquiao's.... where the risk was worth the reward....
GGG is defensively responsible, OP is making it sound like he's just coming forward with no defense and blocks punches with his face. GGG always has his hands up and he's improving his head movement. I guess the Martinez fight will clearly answer this question.
Might call me crazy, but i see Peter Quilin having some success against GGG. The way he handled Guerrero was impressive in my eyes, places his punches really well, but we still haven't seen Quilin great opposition to see what he's truely made of, granted Guerrero was a step in the right direction.
Agreed. GGG gonna get dat work. Quillin will be the MW King when Martinez retires
Movers aren't going to give Golovkin a problem man, he cuts off the ring better than any fighter I've seen.
The only type of fighter who is going to give Golovkin problems is one with power and exceptional punch resistance.
LOL @ your sig.

I'll call you crazy, but it's not because of the GGG hype, it's because of Quillin's stamina.
I've noticed that Canelo and Quillin have the same in ring work ethic, they box well for 4 rounds, then they move around and pot shot the rest of the fight.
GGG's pressure and effectiveness are sharper than that of N'dam, I believe this will be the difference.
Well...lets see. Peter Quilin...15 amateur fights..29 professional fights with nobodies...oh wait...an over the hill Winky Wright...sorry I was wrong about that.
Glennady Golovkin...350 amateur fights 345-5 never knocked down...Silver Olympic Games 2004 Athens...Gold World Championships 2003 Bangkok...Gold Asian Games 2002 Busan...Gold Asian Championships 2004 Puerto Princesa...27-0 as a professional...89% knockout percentage rate...holds the greatest KO ratio in middleweight championship history...1st amongst all active current and former champions...3rd in overall championship history...never knocked down.
Ummm...yes...you are crazy. Peter Quilin does not rate.
:biggthump
Golovkin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quilin

When he gets punched in the mouth, he nods his head in approval and then proceeds to punch you in the mouth, shattering your jaw.
Don't punch him in the mouth.
You really seem to dislike GGG. Every day you start a negative thread about him. On a good day you will start two threads about him. He had 365 amateur fights and I'm sure at least one of his opponents in all the amateur and pro fights he has had must have hit him some hard punches. He goes at his opponents very hard so he obviously has confidence in his ability to take a punch.I think GGG will beat whoever fights him. He will take their best punches if he has to and hit them back harder.
This. For a guy that claims he doesn't care for GGG, he sure is on his mind alot. He's on my mind too, but I at least admit my fighter-crush.

Everyone can make a buncha silly predictions but the truth is we don't know. The one fight where I think we'll find out is the froch fight. Will it happen? Hope so
Well it's not happening in 2013. We're getting Groves v Froch :S
I can see what you mean, but if GGGs power is the elite p4p kind of power I think it is, then you may just see him stop nearly every guy who comes at him.
Only fights against higher comp will tell, but if he is a great puncher like Trinidad, Hearns, Foreman, Jackson, Foster etc then he is going to knock out guys who try and walk him down, you can't (or can very very rarely) walk down a true KO puncher.
Golovkin doesn't look that big but he has that Bruce Lee type of muscle structure going. I think he and Froch would make for a FOTY for sure....that's the fight that needs to happen. It seems like no one at 160 or below can take his power anyways and he is used to beating up on LHW's, so it should be a fairly even fight.

I honestly thought he was coming in scared. He'd already passed on the fight previously, and was taking a long time to sign despite prodding from HBO and his promoter, who needed him to step up on his own card. HBO probably told Lou to get him onboard and he'll be rewarded with a future date. Did you notice Max saying like "I'm sure we'll see you again Matt" post fight?
It was actually Macklin who was landing and throwing most of the punches in the early encounters of R.1.
His gameplan was to stay on the outside, move and box in the early rounds to take Golovkin into the later rounds.
I don't buy that he fought scared, I don't think it's his nature. He's not Andre Dirrell.
That's the power telling, that isn't fighting scared. He was in survival mode the first time Golovkin landed something - and Macklin can take a punch.
Eventually Macklin said "f**k it" and went for Golovkin who then just brutally ended him with a body shot.

I really expected more from Macklin, he didn't bring the fight and he fought scared the entire time. Every time Golovkin even hit him on the gloves, he would stumble into the ropes - his balance was terrible the entire time.
Somebody like Quillin would trade with him or Chavez jr maybe but until then, we won't know for sure.
