Comments Thread For: Golovkin Downplays Canelo's Power: His Clean Shots Brought No Result

[MONGOOSE66]

NEW YORK-Canelo Alvarez may have many superlative qualities, but murderous puncher is apparently not one of them, according to his longtime nemesis Gennadiy Golovkin.

G’s a tuff dude. After his second fight. The knots and bruises said otherwise.

You missed point, again. The issue ain't chin. GGG has granite chin but he can get buzzed or tired. He didn't get buzzed by facial punch but Derevyanchenko hurt him by body shot. Then, referee seperated them and saved him.

The issue is "what could he do" in a bad situation? He hasn't head movement or footwork. His only defensive arsenal is high guard. That's why I think Canelo will KO him by body shot or accumulative of punches to his face.

That's tired Canelo in an another bad situation:

He made Bivol miss 22 times. A f**kin 22.. Canelo got hurt twice (by Cotto and Golovkin) and got tired numerous times. GGG didn't and that's not a good thing. If the didn't hunt bums and tomato cans, he could be proven fighter like Canelo.

Yeah but this is the problem. In between all that flashy lateral movement stuff, Canelo doesn't do much else. If you're not throwing shots how can you expect to win a fight? Canelo's work rate has always been low so there comes a point where quantity beats quality. What good is it making a man miss 22 punches if you don't land shots on him in reply? You can't win a round by just exclusively making a man miss.

Canelo fought against his LHW body not Bivol. He gassed badly, he tried to survive let alone throwing punches. If we return our topic, if Bivol caught your idol on the ropes like that, only god knows how much punishment your idol would take. He doesn't even know rope-a-dope skills unlike Nelo. Nelo is one of the best rope-a-doper "ever".

GGG's skills works only on front foot. He wasn't aggressor twice and lost both imo. (Derevyan and Nelo rematch) That's what my mean. Canelo easily can recap Derevyan's body shot moment in a much worse way.

After he stopped a few soft fighters like BJS and Plant, and a shot Kovalev, the fan boys started believing Canelo had Tyson power and was just going to sleep anyone he touched, and ignored the rest of his career where he failed to stop or even hurt many fighters he beat on for 12 rounds. Typical fan boy delusion.

With GGGeezer, it's either feast (98% of his career wasted fighting bums and journeymen) or famine (2% of his career spent chasing Nelo's $$$$$$).

How could The GGGroupies fool themselves into believing their hero really meant ''anyone'' ?!?!?

The GGGroupies jerking each other off over GGG beating ''undefeated'' Kamil !!!

But yeah. BHS, Plant, Kov, Yildi are worse !!!!
Any version of Kov kills every version of GGG

[aboutfkntime]

So GGG is gonna get battered and Canelo is gonna walk away without a scratch on his face against one of the hardest punchers in the sport of boxing? At least try and be a bit neutral. Your clinging to Saul's bawlz a little too tightly there!

You do realise in Canelo's last two fights he was hardly throwing any jabs at Plant and Bivol? That's not a good sign for him when the fight against G promises to be fought in the pocket and G is THE most prolific jabber in boxing (Golovkin's jabs are the equivalent of most fighter's right hands).

Also, with GGG's high boxing IQ, has it ever occurred to you that he may have learned something from the rematch and from Bivol's landslide win against Canelo? He will adapt and will hurt Canelo no doubt, just like when he adapted to become the counter puncher in round 10 hurting Canelo with a massive straight!

Stick to reality - it seems it just a load of wishful thinking from you at this point.

what a load of bullshlt

Hypekin got beaten up in the rematch, and he will get beaten up again in the trilogy

You are aware GGG dropped peak "Krusher" Kovalev with a body shot in sparring aren't you? When asked the question Kovalev never denies it...

[PRINCEKOOL]

Alvarez is not a monster puncher.

Notice how he could not deck or stop Mosley or Cotto in their tracks.

While Pacquiao could really shake both of those fighters up.

So it is strange how, while moving up in weight Alvarez has seemingly improved his punching powers effect.

Alvarez hits hard, but I have never classed him as a monster puncher.

There have been plenty of middle-weights recently who have hit harder.

Carl Froch, Kelly Pavlik, Golovkin to name a few etc.

Of the past 3 decades, there have been many many middleweight fighters who have hit harder.

It would never happen - in fact I can't recall a single fight in Golovkin's entire 44 fight career where his back touched the ropes! If GGG does get backed up he simply reverts to a back foot game then circles the opponent, which takes him away from the ropes and puts him in a position where he is able to fire back a shot of his own.

Fighting off the ropes is not good or clever long term. Look at how great Ali used to rope-a-dope but as the reflexes went he took vast amounts of punishing head shots from the likes of Norton and Spinks which no doubt contributed to his neurological problems in later life. Canelo is starting to travel down that path - yes his reflexes allow him to fight off the ropes at the moment but we also saw Bivol getting through with 5/6 punch combinations at Canelo's head and Canelo is still only 32. Imagine when his reflexes truly go along with the speed of his counter punching - he'll be a sitting duck!

With regards to the body shot that winded GGG from Chenko, even though Golovkin was hurt, he had the presence of mind to lower his elbows and circle away from danger, thus taking him away from further body shots. Just further demonstrations of GGG being able to create distance while firing back solid jabs simultaneously. To his credit, Chenko is a very strong body puncher, he also hurt Charlo with one as well.
