About Golovkin

yeah yeah yeah, everybody here is a sunday morning trainer now smh.

who didnt accept the 10 plus million dollar offer canelo sent that? you DO KNOW that with WBC rules. canelo and GGG is AUTOMATICALLY 55-45 split. GGG does deserve even a 80-20 split with his 150K lemuiz PPV BUYS. learn the sport ******, once again............ DUCKING DUCKING DUCKING DUCKING. Why do you care about another man's wallet? You his woman? Gave up belt for money and the challenge he posed...so he's a scared of losing his earning potential by a viable threat. Sounds like a duck to me.

bambam's IQ can't be any higher than 85. I think he may be genuinely retarded.

People need to quit with the bashing. Just like any fighter, past or present, stepping up in class has humanized GGG. Just like any fighter he is a tad overrated. What i learned from the GGG/Jacobs fight is that GGG is a good fighter who is worth his mettle. He stood in there with a good fighter on Saturday night and held his own. The questions weren't really about Jacobs, we already knew the ups and downs of Jacobs, but our curiosity was Golovkin and what we would learn about him. As for his chin= A Took a big shot from Jacob in the final round and wobbled but never went down. Stamina= B seem a bit out of gas towards the final rounds Skill= B Limited in terms of mixing up his attacks. Slow on the feet and robotic at times, telegraphing his punches. Tend to load up too much. IQ= B Needs to learn how set traps and not just attack and destroy. This will be his let down against other good fighters; They will neutralize his style, and it will be up to him to adapt and set traps. It will serve him well against a fighter like Jacobs who was exhausted but fighting on sheer will. Good breakdown and I pretty much agree, I always say to my friends that Golovkin is a B level fighter with A+ power. You have broken it down further than that. As far as the hating, I think its mainly a response to his fans who overrate him, so there is an over-response. Most of these things work this way, I find in life there is generally a lack of balanced, impartial individuals. Golovkin is very good, in my opinion his numbers currently flatter him a bit, I am specifically talking the title defences and the 37-0. His level of competition is lacking A and B level guys, a lot of that isn't his fault. Even before the weekend I would have him in the back half of the p4p list, somewhere between 6-10, but most scribes have him in the top 4, these are the situations where I think his stock is over-inflated. He is undoubtedly good for boxing and people are always intrigued by knockout artists. I wish we could just enjoy his career without all the stupidity, but I think thats asking too much. Fighters like him bring boxing fans who have nationalistic pride, and a lack of sound boxing knowledge, basically they see everything with rose tinted glasses on.

WHY are GGG fans such Pieces of ****!!! Another thoughtful and insightful post by bambam.

WHY are GGG fans such Pieces of ****!!! Go back to your hole.

imagine if ward fought GGG, he would have exposed him like jacobs did. where was GGGs super strong power?? stupid ducking boys, ginger beats GGG easy, i wonder what the excuses will be? one of them wil be "ginger waited for him to get old" stupid fa990t ass ducking boys. Wait, are you really claiming GGG ducked Canelo? Who gave up their belt so he wouldn't have to fight his mandatory?!!? oh that's right, Canelo.

WHY are GGG fans such Pieces of ****!!! We know why you're mad, Pedro. Get those tampons ready when Canelo finds the courage to get in there and take his whipping from GGG.

I agree, unbelievable he has one tough fight and everyone is calling him a hype job. I don;t consider those folks boxing fans, just punks

Age=35 yers old This guy is not going to get quicker on his feet, get better stamina or learn to be any kind of different fighter...he's only gonna diminish more. He's been past his prome for a while and will look better against some styles than others. I wouldn't go quite as far, but I agree that his age is a key consideration. I expect he only has a few fights left in the tank over the next 2 or 3 years. I think his trajectory will reach its peak with Canelo in the next year or two. I still think he can win that fight, but age will not be in his favor.

It's easy to pile on when a guy has a tough fight, but this is a fair analysis.

Jacobs still won that fight....the only thing that fight proved to me was that 666 hits harder than Jacobs.

At the end it was telling who had more in the tank and body shots couldve made for a dramatic ending.

Fair points and good analysis.

Good break down.
