Since you want to play the "if you ever boxed" game, if you ever boxed you'd know how unusual it is to ask a guy to go up two weight classes to fight you.
Anyhow, having read many stupid posts claiming that said champ is simply letting himself get hit for the fans, I thought this thread was funny. Clearly, it's an issue of defense and the fact that everyone gets hit at some point. Sad that people feel the need to spin it into some sort of brave act.
I disagree and he's getting bored and eating punches he knows he can take. I don't think he took the Brook fight seriously either and it didn't look like he needed to.
I don't blame Golovkin for calling out Mayweather and Canelo. But I can't excuse the Brook fight. If he fought a 154 lb guy like Lara or Andrade that wouldn't even bother me. But you should be fighting a guy like Bute or DeGale at 168 before you fight Brook WTF. It's not like you won't make money fighting them.
Brook is taking a risk fighting Golovkin. Golovkin is bigger and he's been destroying middleweights like a machine. Forget the ramifications, it's a tough ****ing fight.
smh
I remember when Arum and Pacquiao said they had signed their contract to fight Floyd 2 months before Floyd signed his, the Floyd fans were saying Bob and Pac lying! they lying again! liars! THERE ARE NO NEGOTIATIONS STOP USING FLOYD NAME YOU GUYS LYING!
Then Floyd signs his contract and Pac shows his on instagram showing he signed it 2 months before Floyd and not one of them apologize for being wrong in assuming that Pac was lying.
Everything Bob says is a lie apparently.
Why? I mean sure he has lied just like Floyd and other promoters, but dang man wtf its weird he lying he a liar, he lying again! is stupid.
Bob's speaks some truth but he lies as much as anyone and he's a really manipulative guy. Get over the politics of the fight, Floyd took Pacquiao to school even if you hate him.
Who has Golovkin fought? You're not allowed to criticize anyone. An idiot like you don't get Guerrero is better than anyone Golovkin fought.
no one's talking about Golovkin the guy just has a picture of him holy ****
Why Do I Feel My Self Dislikeing Danny Garcia Every New Day that Passes By . .
Please don't get me wrong he a great fighter ive been a fan ever since he shock the world and beat my uk frein amir khan plus his dad has me in tears with laughter etc BUT I i'm still waiting for some thing GREAT AND EXTRA AMAZING FROM HIM 2fight a year is a joke, and I wanna see a REAL PROPER TEST but its the world we live in I gess MONEY AND PEOPLE DUCKING AND NOT STEPING UP ETC. . . .
is this just me . . .
Danny's a a smart disciplined fighter but he knows his limitations. He's not fast, guys with faster feet than him give him problems. Peterson beat him. Herrera beat him.
I get what you're saying, but in defense of Thurman:
Most guys couldn't wing them like that if they wanted to.
And there are some guys who'd leave themselves wide open and get KOed
Or they'd never land if they threw them like Thurman did.
He puts some muscle into those punches, I say his power is for real. I feel like he stuns guys with the first punch and puts them down with the second and third.
He might have a hard time connecting on a guy like Floyd with those kind of punches, but then again Shane landed on Floyd and Floyd's slowing down.
everyone says they're taller then they are so 6'1 1/2 is taller than you think. He was so lanky and fighting shorter guys too so that added to it.
Calzaghe was 6'1 before he was 5'11. Amir Khan was 5'10 before he was 5'8. Jermain Taylor was 6'1 before he was 5'11.
A little bit. When I saw him beat Kessler his style looked great to me and was something different, but time went on and he had some stinkers. I like that he's physical but at the same time he clinches a lot. He has some power but if he was a physical guy with great power he'd be more exciting
if you are the underdog its ok if you headbutt your opponent over and over and clinch almost 100 times? i find it strange when someone is cheating right in front of your eyes and some people dont notice. maybe they just dont care is more accurate.
nah the referee shouldn't have let him get away with it i understand you not giving him a pass. watching some of the replays now and it's really bad.
diving in headfirst and clinching was something great and different? you ever watched ruiz or henry awkindade fights?
hahah he does do that and did it a lot i admit but he came in as an underdog and completely took it to Kessler and dismantled him. I was expecting something similar to Calzaghe-Kessler. I've seen a few of their fights just because they were fighting guys I actually liked. I wouldn't say Ward's that boring
Anyone who buys this trash is a disgrace to boxing. To buy this fight is to give mayweather free money to beat up a soupcan so he can go blow it on hookers. Hes CLEARLY going broke & this is the easiest way 4 him to do what he does best extort his fanbois & dumb irishman that think McGregor has a chance.
Mayweather outclasses everybody, I want to see McGregor grill the **** out of him
He turned into a muderous power puncher and his athleticism was being compared to Roy all of a sudden close to 40 but keep playing stupid
Oh please he was a sharp speedy puncher who came up late, was kicking ass on HBO then his confidence grew after he put Paul Williams on his ass.
