im interested to see what NSB thinks about the skill level of these two fighter. Since in my opinon they have the same style and same heart of a lion. Which one of these two you think has the better skills overall?
I'd like to see that, but right now im waiting to be convinced.
IMO we never know how good a fighter is until tested.
And Snr had great skills.
His counter right uppercuts against Lockridge was a thing of beauty.
Yes it was. I think you have to vote Chavez sr but I firmly believe GGG hasn't been made to show all he is capable of in the ring.
It's almost as weird to compare him to Senior as it would be Junior. Because he's got a pretty comfortable gap between both of them on either side lol
the reason i compare him to senior because he fight more smiliar to chavez then jcc jr does.
" More skillful GGG or JCC sr?"
i cant believe the poll. its got to be rigged.
can't see anyone but a fan boy saying chavezjr is more skilled.
thats down right redickulous.
CHAVER SR> i guess i shouldve bolded the SENIOR part
As of now JCC SR because he has shown more on both ends.
That said, do not underestimate GGG, When he finally gets in with a real opponent you will see he has a wealth of skills, including defensively. He may not be Floyd, rigo, ward, or JMM but he is right beneath them IMO.

i agree he defense on the inside was amzing. he didnt have to run like lara to make them miss that was the beauty. Oye do you see a little of chavez sr in triple G or is it just me?
Well Abel Sanchez said that when he first met with GGG he told him he would mold him in the form of Chavez Sr.
I think GGG stalks his opponents and cuts off the ring like Sr but he doesn't have the head movement or punch output.
I don't think he will ever reach the level of Sr. he was just something special, one of the greatest to ever lace them up. We also really haven't seen GGG tested so we don't know what his chin is made of.
Style wise, yes they are similar, but crowning him the next Chavez Sr is a little premature IMO.
JCC Sr by far especially at the lower weights.
Anybody voting GGG is a straight up delusional fanboy or hasn't seen Sr in his prime and assume he is just some Mexican brawler.
His footwork and defense, upper bodymovement was on a whole nother level.
GGG's defensive stats are so good because 1) his opposition has been lackluster to say the least 2) The poor opposition have been too scared to commit to anything.

Defensively it's not even close, Sr was a master of waist movement and slipping punches on the inside. He's a much bigger puncher than Sr. But that's really the only thing he does better at this point.
GGG defense is much better then Jr's...GGG does subtle little things that are hard to see but if u watch his fights over and look and u will see them...that is why he only gets hit 23 percent of the time...even watch GGG vs Rosada and Andre Ward talks of this when comparing GGG to Jr...He says GGG defense much better then Jr's was...
I mean JCC Sr...

It was GGG vs Sr, not Jr.
Sr had much better defense than GGG does. Even Abel Sanchez said that they are working hard to get him to move his head like Sr which he doesn't do just yet.
Sr's defense was severely underrated. He was a master of slipping inside.

Oops, my bad! I should read more carefully next time. Yea SR has WAY better defense than GGG.
