He's not just a power puncher. The dude was 345-5 as an amateur. He has polished boxing skills and also has extremely powerful hands. He cuts off the ring beautifully, has good footwork, decent defense for a guy who comes forward, great powerful jab, his body work is terrific, and he knows how to finish.
He's a special talent. It's unfortunate he's already 32, hopefully he keeps up the 4 fights per year and we get to see some epic match ups before he gets too old.
Its a combination of that with what I mentioned. But some people have ducked him, like Sturm, Quillen and possibly Martinez.
i don't think that martinez ducked him.......he just went for the money. ggg can't draw flies to sh*t. ward with his "boring" style might even be the bigger draw right now. martinez said that after cotto he would've went for a ggg fight.
Why not, people were calling Broner and Berto hype jobs before they failed?
Granted, GGG has faced much STIFFER competition than they did at this point.
not true at all.....broner has faced much tougher opposition and did it at a much younger age as well.
Why don't you quit being a little pussy and just say white people instead of certain people? If you're gonna race-bait, at least be direct.
I admit that GGG is overrated as hell at the moment by some but you can't call him a hype job until he's tested and fails.
sure you can........explain broner and canelo then?

Golovkin's reputation is actually built on his power and entertaining style. Both you and Ward need to pull your heads out of your asses.
actually a big part of ggg's rep is the myth that everyone is ducking him......are you gonna sit up here and deny that?
GGG is just a better version of Provo. GGG still gets hit a lot, he cant fight backwards, nor on the backfoot. He have good punching technique but thats about it.
Ward schools him.

he's not special.......he's just a good fighter that hasn't been tested yet. at 32, his resume should be way more deeper than it is.
He's a complete hype job. Certain people need a certain type to root for. Ward wipes him out in less than 8rds. He's just a brawler, he keeps getting hit. A boxer would destroy this guy, movement gives him alot of trouble, and that was supposed to be his best competition? You know what it is, they have one every 5 to 7 years, they need one. Hype job they were talking about what his people said, how they would give him "tomato cans" and make him big by putting him in there with lower competition and they still buy it. lol oh well heres the next gerry cooney. Ward wears this chump out, but he ducks pretty good. I'm gonna hate on him just like a certain group hates on Floyd/Ward. The guy he was facing tried to take a dive, then he quit. He had to be paid off. Plus he sucked, he was connecting but with no power, so ggg can easily be hit, just a flash in the pan to get a certain segment of our society hyped about boxing again, seen it before. HYPE JOB:biggthump
So white people need a hype job..and blacks need someone to hate on I guess. GTFO with your non sense. Idiot.
Nothing wrong with his age, at 32 he still has another great 3 years at the pro level.
Could be a problem if he takes on the 2 fight per year schedule of most top guys. If all of those fights are not against top guys then before we know it he'll be a 35-36 yr old fighter.
