he says he's willing to fight anyone from 154-168...so far no one is biting (i wonder why). sergio's team/dibella flat out said 'no' to him. if you can't see how much of a beast golovkin is then i don't know what to say. he has a good chin, huge punching power in both hands, good boxing ability, applies good pressure, has shown good stamina and heart, etc...the potential of beocming one of the best is definitely there, but it's all a matter of finding guys who are willing to get in the ring with him.
There's no reason to wonder. Golovkin is still making a name for himself. Of course Martinez said no. Martinez has already worked his ass off to get to where he is; now he wants to fight bigger names (after he puts on a show in Argentina anyway).
Give it some time. If Golovkin continues to win and make a name for himself, Martinez will fight him.
Great fight for both!
I'am always weary of saying one guy will easily KO the other because it seems like a trap fight.
Perhaps the most intelligent response in the thread.
Floyd has some bizarre training routines, but they work for him.
That's the thing, though: what he's doing in that video is not bizarre at all. Only someone who has no knowledge of training would argue otherwise.
A lot of times you don't want to start off hitting the heavy bag as hard as you ****ing can. Similarly, you don't necessarily start hitting the speed bag as fast as you can. In the video, Floyd is clearly either (a) warming up or (b) practicing technique.
One can always be wrong when it comes to predicting how good fights will be. (Who the hell expected Bradley vs. Provodnikov to be Fight of the Year material?) But Mayweather vs. Guerrero sure looks like a damn joke on the surface.
I guess it would help if some of the people on this forum would actually try training/boxing. Then we wouldn't have idiotic threads like this.
First of all, a heavy bag is not a speed bag, which tests one's speed. Second, you're looking at a short clip of a much, much longer workout. Third, his technique looks solid as hell here.
I think its the best fight out there and probably the biggest money behind maybe a pacquiao fight for him but he will never do it. I dont see why guerrero is even discussed if money is always an issue with him doesnt seem like a big money fight
It's definitely not a big money fight. Martinez would bring in more money than Guerrero at this point.
I know Mayweather destroyed Marquez already, but I would like to see a rematch between them. Marquez is stronger and a better boxer now. I think he would give Mayweather a little hell in a second fight.
Out of the three mentioned, Donaire by far. Garcia beat an overrated Khan and an old Morales. Marquez's knockout was fantastic, but that's only one fight.
Martinez should get some consideration. Macklin is a tough fighter, and even though Chavez Jr. isn't a great boxer, he's a cruiserweight on fight night.
And how did marquez's performances against the elites turn out.
Vs pac- 0-2-1, arguably and imo 1-1-1
Vs mayweather- was purely outclassed and dominated
You tell me...
Edit: Im not denying marquez being a great fighter, just throwing a mexican nationalistic's logic back at them.
You're also seemingly equating Cotto to Marquez, which is a little silly.
I think Collins' comments are applicable to the last two Marquez/Pacquiao fights (Round 6 in II was given to Pacquiao by two judges - just idiotic) AND Pacquiao/Bradley, which was much closer than the majority of people were willing to admit.
Some people love pretending that Manny is the best boxer of all time.
It would be a familiar Martinez bout. Trout would lose the first few rounds, unable to deal with Martinez's speed. Rounds 5-9, Trout would make it look competitive (emphasis on "look"), maybe even knock Martinez down. Martinez would then make adjustments and knock Trout out in Round 11 or 12.
^Translation: "Golovkin is human, so I'm going to suck him off some more."
Macklin showed in the Martinez fight that he can box. He may not rush in the whole time.
This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever read. Can't say it's not interesting, though.
Anyway, it's likely that Golovkin is going to fight Macklin next, so we'll see whether the fellatio on Golovkin is warranted. Macklin is a pretty good fighter.
But Martinez probably owns Golovkin. I'm not saying that Golovkin has no skill or power, but speed kills.
Don't forget Pac beat the prime Marquez twice without the weight cheating
You have to put "beat" in quotation marks here.
For the record, I thought Pacquiao won the first fight, lost the second, and had a draw in the third.
