Does GGG remind anyone else...

GGG reminds me Tyson

Isn't he a natural lefty? It's the reason why he didn't have a right hand. He should have worked on it. But for him to be able to accomplish what he had is remarkable. he is a natural lefty, but he has been boxing since he was a kid. you have to think that that right hand had to be somewhat educated for him to make it to the olympics and after that to get a far as he did as a pro.

First time I seen him I thought it instantly , this guy is so much like Chavez the way he can put fighters under strenuous pressure without even throwing lunch earning the respect of his opponents really quick and staying on them and the way he cuts off the ring yep, same body type, same intelligent pressure. whether he has sr's beard remains to be seen.

Not at all. Cotto is popular but was always limited. His bigness as a WW probably has a lot to do with his successes. He punches huge for a WW but nothing special for a MW. We still need to see more of GGG...but so far, he looks very special! But Broner had looked special too before Paulie!

actually, he reminds me of a bigger jcc sr.

cotto would have too if he hadn't injured his shoulder early in his career during a car accident. Isn't he a natural lefty? It's the reason why he didn't have a right hand. He should have worked on it. But for him to be able to accomplish what he had is remarkable.

Whether you guys like it or not Cotto is a Hall of Famer.

Golovkin has a right hand This. Cotto was/is a one handed fighter. Golovkin is more like a 160 kostya with more tools. Golovkin's 300+ Amateur win record is no joke.

Nope Cotto was protected by Arum for a while till he let Margarito on him. Cotto never looked like a killer to me in those days except when he fought Pinto.. ^^^^^^^^^^

i agree with dude who said a 160 lb matthysse. Both can bang, have devastating power and both can box (matthysse gets less credit for this hes underrated). Both are not slick but know how to cut off the ring and set up their punches

Cotto's a one handed fighter to me. He keeps his dominant hand in front using it to jab and left hook leads. Golovkin has power in both hands. That a big difference to me. They do have some similarities though. They both use power jabs and commit to attacking the body. I wouldn't say Golovkin reminds me of Cotto though because they go about it differently. Maybe a combination of Cotto and Kosta Tszyu and that's still a reach. +1 Sanchez was talking about Chavez vs Rosario and how he's shown Golovkin that fight at least 15 times. I watched it the other day and can see alot of similarities with JCC's style.

Nah he reminds me more of Chavez Sr.

not at all. Cotto only stalks his opponents if they are totally below his level. GGG stalks his opponents...doesn't matter who it is. right now he does.

actually, he reminds me of a bigger jcc sr.

Ha, To people who think cotto was just hype are delusional and honestly kinda idiotic.. Cotto was a great fighter and got ruined by margarito. he may not have been on the level of hopkins, floyd and manny, but he was on the same level as say ike, winky, Margarito ruined him and manny really put the nail in the coffin... I dont see a similarity to GGG GGG reminds me of kosta tszyu Cotto was a A level fighter who will be in the hall of fame. I think it's stupid that people want to discredit him and call him protected. He's fought the absolute best in his era (Mayweather, Margarito, Pacquiao, Mosley, Trout, Judah, Clottey). Yes he didn't win them all but its funny when people cry about being protected. He went thru his era's "Murderers Row". at the moment GGG is slightly overrated because of his offensive destructive power. Throughout history fans have gravitated towards destructive power punchers. The moment GGG loses fans will cry overrated and you guys know it's going to happen. WE can't honestly judge a fighter until about 10 years or so after he retires. Think about the history of these offensive monsters. Foreman, Tyson, McClellan, Hearns...they all ended up losing and then the myth and legend of them sort of went away. Anyone can lose in the ring. Anyways when I watch GGG he does remind me of Kostya Tsyzu with his pinpoint power punches along with the tenacity of JCC Sr.

of Miguel Cotto? He seems like a fighter with all the positives of a 2007-08 prime Miguel Cotto with added punching power. They're both technically-sound boxers with a slight neglecting of defense (Cotto moreso than GGG), they have/had that killer instinct, every punch hurts, knock people out with the left hook to the body, etc. They're also willing and eager to face anybody and everybody, which is the main similarity. The only discrepancy I see is that GGG has just a good power jab, whereas Cotto's jab was straighter and shorter but also powerful. Cotto didn't have the one-shot power outside of his body shot, but GGG has that. Obviously they have different stances, defensive styles, etc., but are similar enough that it's worth mentioning. not at all. Cotto only stalks his opponents if they are totally below his level. GGG stalks his opponents...doesn't matter who it is.

Golovkin has a right hand

No he doesn't remind me of cotto.
