well put it this way...both fights were close with huge gloves and headgear...them are clear advantages for dirrell...take those advantages away and what u think we have now? plus GGG has been busy the last few years honing his skills while dirrell went awol for awhile...i dont even think the fight would be really competitive now to tell u the truth...
Actually GGG is more like Michael Myers of Halloween...he stalks and plays with his prey before he makes the kill...they both are stalking predators...
but Canelo can NOT beat GGG. If you asked me, no middleweight today is beating GGG. But I would love to see a fight between GGG and Sakio Bika.
I do feel that Andre Ward could beat him, and an in shape, focused Andre Dirrell could beat him.
GGG has issues with movers and fast jabs. but it's going to take more than just wheels and jabs. You got to throw some good combinations with snap on them to keep his respect and hop back on your bicycle.
if dirrell cant beat him in the amatuers in 3 round fights with headgear he sure isnt gonna even come close to beating him now...
Drago should have been charged with murder...the ref stepped in to stop the fight and Drago pushed him away and continued to hit Creed...lifetime in prison...
good...ortiz should have thot bout that before he started ramming his head into mayweathers face...he got what he deserved and i dont even like mayweather...
are u serious
even if GGG had just average power he would still be the best MW in the world...his boxing skills are world class and at the highest level...its just that he has all that power and his skills take a back seat....but trust me all the skills are there...and like Max said in the Proksa fight he cant remember the last MW with that kind of power combined with the skills of GGG...he is a rare breed indeed...
Oscar tweeted a couple weeks ago about Canelo vs GGG...I think he tweeted this new tweet to get the attention off of his previous tweet coz he dont want Canelo nowhere near GGG...
I totally disagree with this article saying GGG is not near as technical as Tyson...I believe its the other way around...GGG is way more technical and precise as Tyson...Tyson did move his head better but GGG has his defensive subtle tricks...Tyson threw way more wildly on offense while GGG is usually patient and precise...he went 345-5 in the amatuers where u need to be super technical to win...and GGG dont ever smile when he gets hit...he nods his head that he got hit but never smiles...once GGG puts the gloves on to when the fight is over its all serious business and never a smile on him...he gets the terminator look....silly article
I keep hearing of his amazing boxing skills, but what i see is a seek and destroy guy with a decent jab. I want to see him in a fight where he has to box to see just how good is that aspect of his game.
A decent jab? he might have the best jab in the game...he lands it more then any other in boxing and he does it with power...his jab is great...and about his skills...on the post fight presser he was asked when we are gonna see his technical boxing skills and GGG replied "when i have fight with big name then u will see my technical"
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...
Balough is a true warrior...going in the ring everytime knowing u are gonna get knocked out half the time...3 wins and 112 losses...atleast Balough has balls to get in the ring with him unlike many others...

I mean JCC Sr...
I ****n love it...GGG is just gna collect as many belts as he can so noone can hide from him...great move...make the duckers come out of hiding...he may even become Cottos mando...GGG is making a statement here that come fight me or i will come get u one way or another...and the way he is gna do it is by getn as many belts as he can interim or main belt...
Lol that's funny . When cotto was going to fight him it was a sh1t fight but GGG fight him and it's legit for his KO reel
Well the reason is GGG called out Cotto and wants to unify but Cotto ducked him to fight whoever in December...GGG has no other options in his division that is better then Rubio...GGG is fighting his best options and Cotto isnt...that is the difference...
Well July seems off the table for now.... so maybe Bika because of the WBC connection.
If it's in July, I prefer Froch to GGG
I dont think July is off the table...I think they will fight July 12...it will be GGG and JCC next fight...
I thought GGG was gonna stay at middleweight 4 now. If that's the case GGG should fight the winner of Martinez/cotto b4 moving up. Would b good 2 c though considering the chavez chin/pressure and also can GGG take the power up a weight class!
What I think will happen is GGG will fight JCC in June-July at 168 but GGG will come in light...and then will fight Martinez (if he wins) in the fall...
I agree with the OP...I think GGG wins by late KO...Ward dont have the power to keep GGG off him...watching the Ward-Bika fight it was very close and competitive...the judges scores were absurd...total punches landed was 235-201 Ward...lots and lots of holding in that fight...GGG will cut off the ring and keep Ward from holding alot...he is very good at avoiding holds...GGG late stoppage...
Isnt Ward a Christian? If he is a true Christian then money shouldnt matter...isnt it the root of all evil? If its about money then he really aint a true Christian...and he calls himself the SOG???
everyone saying he is not a good counter puncher dont realize he had 350 amatuer fights as a counter puncher...he was strictly a counter puncher until he turned pro and turned into an offensive fighter...I highly doubt he forgot how to counter punch...
He did a good job early on and he does have decent reflexes but he can't see a jab coming very well at all. I look at his frame and he is a "smallish" man but he is "thick". His legs, arms, mid-section, shoulders, and back are all dense. He reminds me of a workhorse, like a mule or something and having all that muscle will make you tire out very quickly. His movement seems to decline dramatically after 2 or 3 rounds.
go look at his compubox stats and tell me he slows down after 3 rounds...his punches go up and accuracy goes up the longer he fights...silly comment by u...
How bout GGG's power and GGG's chin? GGG has fought 378 fights combined amatuers and pro and has neve been down or hurt...so as far as we know he may have the best chin out there...
