Golovkin impressed me

[dan_cov]

Superb timing, good balance, footwork, I liked his jab & I think his defense is better than its given credit for.

The thing is we need to keep it real, Proksa is tough & hes tricky, his footwork and angles are unorthodox, I thought he landed some good counterpunches actually but the guy simply is not very good. He is scrappy, he leaves himself off balance, his defense is poor though he gave Golovkin some problems until he stopped moving his head & you have to take into account his opposition.

Forget the faded Sylvester this guy has fought & struggled with 3-4 fight novices. Outside of the above the best opponent he has faced is Kerry Hope who he is 1-1 with, who is Kerry Hope? A domestic scene gatekeeper with a 4% K.O ratio....

Reality is this was a mismatch and I said that & said Golovkin brutalises him inside 6, I think most expected it tbh

Should we not wait for Golovkin to fight a live threat at least before saying he beats Dawson, Ward, Sergio, etc?

This is like the whole boxing world raving because a guy beat like Peter Manfredo or something.
Believe me Proksa is not on Macklin/Barker/Murray/Lees level

I can't remember lol I've been reading that much Golovkin crazy talk this evening about Floyd is apparently ducking him, lol
He would beat Martinez, Ward & Dawson lose/they're a toss up
Talks of him fighting Froch, Abraham, Pavlik, Bute (of course GGG wins all these fantasy fights)

Its like woahhh, slow down.

Yup. Let's be real here, the purpose of this thread is not for TS to talk about how Golovkin impressed but to talk about how ****ty Proksa is. I mean, he's been doing it for weeks now?

Green K TS for his sneakiness.

Hahaha funnily enough that looks like how Proksa fights lol

Proksa would be better off at 154 IMO - In fairness to the guy I think he could make some noise there. The 160lb top middleweights are just too big for him.

Exactly, and same on the GG hysteria. Lets see how he does in his next hbo fight. But disagree about Proksa vs the British middles, all those guys struggled a lot at the Euro level

GGG can fight he needs to be put in against someone at a higher skill level than he has faced so far to see if he is for real. I think he has a chance to excell.

Absolutely agree.

Golovkin's a good fighter but he's done nothing to suggest he's the best at MW. Nothing at all.

As you put it, his best win is against a guy who's 1-1 with Kerry Hope.
