I don't buy this crap about Golovkin letting people tee off on him is way of putting on a "show." I agree he's a better boxer than most people give him credit but Brook's power and speed gave him problems. Brook was never going to win the fight. Golovkin knew in the back of his mind he would be able to impose his size but he was made to look bad for a few moments by a guy that was obviously not big enough and had no business being in there with him.
So, why do you think that Lemieux, whose left hook is probably the fastest from 160-168, could hardly touch GGG while GGG just stood in front of Brook letting him tee off like that?
GGG viewed the fight as a sparring match, nothing more. If he had treated this fight like he was facing a top guy his own size or bigger, he would have stuck behind the jab and destroyed Brook in a round or two....he almost dropped him in the first with a body shot.
There are levels and I feel GGG stayed in first gear to give Brook a chance. Monroe jr has good movement and switches up his punches and GGG broke him down and punished him too.
This is what I'm saying though
You can't give people chances or you will pay the price
golovkin doesn't respect boxing very much and he will pay the price for not respecting defence
come on, dude. stop it, please. look:
I do not know from where they get that I pay a little attention to the defence (surprised)? Just as Macklin, who said that I had no experience, I'm neglecting the defense. I heard that. I'll say that I was more experienced in my 20 years in comparison with their 30ies in pro fighting! This is nothing more than self-deception. If somewhere in the fight I neglect defense, it does not mean that I'm not being defensive. Quite possibly I just provoke. I look. This is the tactics! If I ignored the defense, it would have been fractures, cuts, knockdowns, knockouts. I've never been knocked out or knocked down! And it does not say about the strength of my head, it's boxing on highly technical level. What can I say to Ward? I'm the strongest and the best? This is a direct move immediately towards our fight. I believe that every athlete has a chance, but to say it would be bad against a puncher ... it would be bad against any of boxers. Now it became popular to say that I have no defence or that I don't box, just fight. My answer to them: "You'd better teach your wives". (c) Gennady, 2015
Fair point but I think a boxer\puncher would have fun with GGG
Honestly after watching brook lift golovkin with an uppercut and back him up the right hook behind the glove I don't see the unbeatable force anymore

GGG has a lot of mileage and it's only a matter of time before all these punches to the head are going to take their toll on him, it's not only the fights where he gets hit, he also gets hit in sparring for 8 weeks leading up to every fight, so with him fighting 3-4 times a year with that style while being 34 years old with 350 amateur fights, it won't take so long before he starts slowing down and I think that's what a lot of fighters like Canelo are banking on.
With that being said, the GGG that we saw last night is definitley NOT a KO waiting to happen, his chin is tremendous and he knew Brook couldn't hurt him, but these punches will take their toll on the long run.
LOL yeah bring em on these big punchers! OH nevermind he already knocked Lemieux and Stevens out.
I dare everyone to try to knock GGG out, sadly Canelo has a vagina and no balls down there. Let's see if Jacobs mans up at least or if he keeps making excuses.
Who are these big punchers who can knock out GGG who never went down in 350 amateur and 36 pro fights while knockint out 93% of his opponents?
So the fighter who has never been knocked down in his 350 amateur and 36 pro fights is KO waiting to happen...
Yes, I suppose you are right, when he signs to fight Joshua.
If GGG was a KO waiting to happen he'd have been KO'd by Davey L or someone else way before he made it to 34. Granted GGG isn't undefeatable just cuz he's undefeated. GGG will for sure lose sooner or later, maybe even by KO, but he's not a KO waiting to happen by any stretch of the imagination.
