The sad thing is, with all the power and accuracy he shows....why doesn't he use it in the ring, sure he counters well....but he seems like he can be a much more offensive fighter.....but he's not...hence the hate. He plays it safe but he hasn't built anywhere near a name for himself to be in that spot imo.
He does use his accuracy and power it aint sad bro hes got 8kos in 12 fights and his 12th!!!!!!!!! victory came against what people were calling top 5 P4P Nonito Donaire again that was his 12th professional fight you got to play it safe at that level of competition maybe when he gets another 12 wins the world might appreciate him,all i see is a perfectionist perfecting the art of hitting and not being hit guillermo rigondeux cannot be outboxed.
Kid Gavilan, Panama Al Brown, Harry Hop Stone,Hagler, Leonard, Hearns,lennox lewis,pernell whittaker and loads more the greats in their prime rarely get beat up.
I would like to see a rematch it would be interesting to see if kahn could get in and out without being tagged flush,but i think its a much more dangerous fight than the first one for kahn because dannys now twice the beast he was he looks more seasoned and his punches are sharp it will be great while it lasts.
Watching chavez bob and weave gave me flashes of canelo against trout canelos obviously been looking at the great master as would all mexican fighters i think.
Golovkin is too big for Floyd and knowing this, Floyd will never fight him. You can't really blame him here. If he's a "coward" for refusing to fight a potentially great champion well above his natural weight, than so is Pacquiao and everyone else too small for GGG. He cuts off the ring too well, and is too accurate and powerful for someone Floyd's size. Just jabbing the arms and body of Floyd and firing right hands would be enough to neutralize him, and these are things Golovkin excels at.
Golovkin comes in much lighter on fight night than canelo so straight away your wrong.As for you referring to a future HOF as a coward you get no respect,floyds that good a boxer only a fully blown middleweight can be considered as a legit opponent mayweather is a welterweight who would be giving a middleweight his biggest payday why dont canelo and golovkin fight why doesnt golovkin go after andre ward carl froch kessler abraham stieglitz sakio bika chavez jr,there all 8lbs above his middleweight division now at middle golovkin is WBA champ at WBC its Martinez at IBF Darren Barker at WBO Peter Quillin why doesnt golovkin go unify these titles then go up to super middle? it looks bad calling out a welterweight when your a middleweight world champion thats just my opinion.
I think they were referring to his knee injury martinez hasnt been 100% for a while now i presume thats what they were on about dont worry segio is healthy but in boxing terms a bad knee is seen as unhealthy for the ring.
at his age and with his style its highly unlikely he will be back 100% after such serious injuries. its a shame but its true. whats an even bigger shame is he wont use what little time he has left in boxing to fight golovkin.
I think he will.If he feels good in his comeback fight i wouldnt be suprised if he took on golovkin, martinez is all about legacy.
This fight should go ahead regardless of the rios outcome. Manny and floyd are the best welterweights in the world and have both been for quite sometime there achievements are head and shoulders above everyone and anyone,the boxing world needs this fight and so do the fans.
Pacquiao would solve alot of arguments,if he stops rios that question will be asked straight away,although roach mentions marquez 5 hope not!! Sergio Martinez is doable at CW only!! unfortunitely.I think that would be a mega achievement for floyd one i believe he could achieve but history would state he beat a drained middleweight for the title so i dont know,i think a heavy handed fighter who can go to the body is the only threat for floyd but he would have to be relentless theres no one outboxing him at WW or JM Thurman at WW? maybe he could be relentless.Fighting non catchweight prime junior middleweights poses big risk because of size and power.In this order Sergio Martinez Manny Pacquiao Timothy Bradley Amir Kahn or Broner thats what i would like to see.
You may have a point, but that would not garner him any respect in county Tipperary.
Tipperary have they started eating sandwiches now while watching the boxing as well good god what a hurling loving county it is.
I started getting a bad feeling when robert garcia was urging maidana on before the 12th round,but it was such a convincing win i thought theres no way in hell they will pull that on chino.
Austin it seems cant hurt any top level opponents you have to go way back to find a KO and his TKOs came against what everyone here will agree on really low level opposition.Im not knocking trout he beat cotto so he gets props boxing is funny though trout gets a UD against D rodriguez miguel cotto destroys the guy,i believe kirkland walks through him theres no way james hangs around outside looking at trouts stay away from me jab kirkland will step to him big time trout could make it a hug fest though i pick kirkland.
Well broner said anyone Can get it mexCan ameriCan puerto riCan thing is Maidana was ARGENTINIAN and Burns is SCOTLAND so yeah maybe burns can do it he aint a Can!!
In this video Floyd Sr offers his training services to Broner where he plans to pay close attention to Broner's heavily-hyped yet functionally ineffective defense.
It seems like a natural choice of trainer of course since Broner styled himself on Floyd Jr who was taught his fundamental skills by his father, Floyd Sr.
It might do him good but broner aint no floyd mayweather,with regard to defence floyd uses his feet first he doesnt stand there in the pocket the entire fight tryna roll punches for broner to beat maidana he needs to get on his toes and box can he do it?
I think he takes a helluva punch kahns a fighter at heart hes explosive with his speed i never seen him technicly pick someone apart he gets in position and explodes with speedy straight shots,he should never have been matched against prescott his style was all wrong for kahn at that time,prescott maidana and garcia hurt everybody they get in with dannys punch was clever kahn jumped in with his head up more than once and garcia knew he would catch him big! that was a calculated bomb that kahns blind fury did not see,he beat maidana he beat peterson i think personally, those shots peterson was getting in behind kahns guard were heavy his legs did not wobble at all 12 rounds of heavy shots he stood up,i think most of the kahn hate is because you either like him or you dont he has said some crazy stuff but the dude will fight anyone.He hasnt looked good in his last 2 fights thats threw maybe the cautious approach wont suit him or maybe something that was there is no longer.
Possibly but it would take a REALLY good win and unfortunately Ward doesn't have any really good opponents unless he goes to 175.
If he goes 175 we might not see golovkin if he stays theres still chavez jr thomas oosthuisen robert stieglitz george groves and badou jack,i would like to see froch vs ward rematch at the MGM i doubt it would happen but none the less theres some good opposition out there for ward, B-hop stayed at middleweight for years defending his belts why cant andre ward at SM me personally i would like to see him clear the middleweight division but i dont know if he can get down.
The Byron mitchell fight made alot of people change there mind about joe he showed alot of qualitys in that fight,to this day i still watch it its a helluva shootout.Personally i dont think the lacy fight was his best that only showed how bad jeff lacy was,yeah he had his left hook but he couldnt box eggs that night.
I think Ward v Anthony Dirrell would be a good tune-up,, Dirrell undefeated and was highly ranked but has been inactive like ward....
THen Ward should fight Andre Dirrell
Then Froch rematch
Chavez Jr
Maybe GGG
Then move up to 175
I love the matchups you mention above but i dont think dirrell is a tune up fight just my opinion if dirrell gets active that could be a huge super middleweight clash 1 i believe could go either way thats my dream fight im waiting on S.O.G vs The Matrix.As for froch rematch and chavez jr yes please.
