This is a very bad fight for him. He would suffer so much damage in that fight. That uppercut is so vicious, and that's the punch he's the most vulnerable too. He probably had nightmares watching that Derevyanchenko fight.
But please don't fight Mungia, please! Fight Saunders at least. You know he wants it and it would be a respectable fight for you even if you lost. At least you don't risk getting knocked out. Please someone relay that message to him!!
Who said he was confident that he could take their best shots? Unless the opponent either hits like a school girl or makes obvious mistakes, caution will always be the best strategy.
Not when the other guy is the better boxer than you and you have the power advantage
No but it does mean you shouldn't fight so timid when you have the power advantage and are confident you can take the other guys best shot

No way, you can basically hit the uppercut at will on GGG. He doesn't have good reflexes and his high guard leaves him open to it no matter what. It will also make him hesitant to throw his left hook. I also dont get what's "rudimentary" about Charlo's jab lol.
Charlo could basically keep Golovkin at distance with that rope of a jab or use it to split his guard and hit that uppercut whenever he wants or set him up for something else. And why wouldn't Charlo hurt GGG? Have you actually seen Charlo's uppercut or do you think there's no mortal who can hurt GGG?
I think Charlo wins but don't forget that Charlo went the distance with Korobov, Adams, and Trout and took 7 rds to KO Hogan. An old GGG is probably still better than all those guys.
I think its up to Charlo. If he is the hesitant Charlo, it will be a good close fight. If he is aggressive, I think he can hurt and stop GGG.
Lemieux is a stationary target. Custom made for a boxer. I think Sauders is a great boxer. No doubt but boring. Kinda like Lara. Id love to see him with Canelo. Its a tuff fight for ANYONE meeting Canelo.
No doubt that Lemieux is limited, but I can't see how you could call Saunders' performance boring in that fight.
Either way, GGG/Saunders fight is more intriguing to me. I want to see how he could crack his code and vice versa. Action is good, but I also love seeing styles clash.
Let it be known, I am not completely sold on Charlo yet. But G's camp is on record saying that they won't be fighting him unless he's forced to and his actions seem to indicate that he doesn't want the fight, and I sincerely don't blame him. He's old, he doesn't need to get in that type of fight. But I want to see him fight champions.
Now, concerning Saunders, how did you like his performance against Lemieux?

Saunders is a damn good boxer but boring too me.
I think Charlo has never met an animal like G. He has all the tools to whip G but..........?

I don't think it would be an easy fight for Charlo, but I think it could be career altering for GGG. Even if he takes him out, I expect him to suffer a lot of damage in that fight.
And, even if I'm critical of him, I still care for boxers. This is why I wouldn't mind seeing him against someone like Saunders. A very winnable and safer fight for him, and an entertaining and intriguing one for the fans.

Id like to see him fight all 3.... I dont think it would be that easy for Charlo

I was implying that there completely different fighters.
Not completely. They have some similarities. Dev is quicker though, both with his hands and feet. Still doesn't help Golovkin's case.
They both love the left hook, they share similar stances and guards, and they have many of the same limitations, especially when it comes to reflexes.
I'd also like to remind you that Korobov is Russian, though he doesn't have a classic Russian style. Are you also insinuating that fighters from different parts don't share stylistic similarities?
I was implying that there completely different fighters.
True, but the point I was trying to make was Charlo seems to have turned into this killer, don’t get me wrong as much of a dud that his career has turned into Korobov is quality, but Adam’s? I know Golovkin has slipped, personally I saw first signs of slippage in the Monroe fight but it makes me laugh how Charlo in some people’s eyes will “hurt” GGG, “destroy” GGG yet only two fights ago a 154 guy took him the full 12, a guy who I think even this version of Golovkin stops without breaking a sweat.
Charlo v GGG is a better fight than Andrade for either fighter, Andrade hasn’t fought a legit opponent since Culcay who arguably won.
Again, I don't really care about past performance against fighters who are nothing like Golovkin. Matt Korobov is much more difficult to find than Golovkin and Adams did a great job at defending against the uppercut. You also want to bring in hypotheticals, when we have footage of Golovkin and Charlo fighting the same guy.
I also never said a word about Charlo "destroying" GGG. But he does feel pain, contrarily to what many of his fans seem to believe. He's also 38 years old.
I think the Derevyanchenko fight is a better reference considering it was the most recent and the fighter shares more similarities with GGG. This is also a fighter they both faced, though I like to take triangle theory with a grain of salt.

Fuck that, this is the fight game! I'm a GGG fan but If he can't take the heat, he needs to GTFO of the kitchen!
Yes, but at the same time he is old. I don't have an issue with older fighters taking easier fights, just not garbage ones.
