Chavez Jr. might be bigger, but he's also weight-draining himself. He better be careful who he steps to in his next fight.
Chavez Jr vs Golovkin
Collapse
-
JCC is a cruiserweight who got nearly shutout vs Martinez, was getting beatin by Andy Lee, and has looked just OK against alot of other 160ers. I haven't seen enough of Golovkin but to me the size advantage Jr has had hasn't really been that much of an advantage in the past. Doubt it will be against GGG.Comment

Didnt Dougie Fischer all but confirm this, and also claimed that Golovkin was hurting Canelo and was holding back! I can't give exact date but was in his his mailbag just before Christmas.. Seckbach also said something about it before..
Canelo sparring was two years ago though!Comment

Yea, I thought this too. I know the word was circulating around here. The word from Fischer also was that GGG was hurting Imoesiri and Coyne (a 6ft tall LHW). I also read reports that when him and Quillin were sparring it was pretty even. GGG was pressuring while Quillin was sticking and moving. They occasionally exchanged but that it was pretty even.Didnt Dougie Fischer all but confirm this, and also claimed that Golovkin was hurting Canelo and was holding back!

Yea I read this too. Not surprised tho, it is Angulo after all. However, Chavez Jr is more impressive.yeah i remember people on here saying golovkin embarrassed chavez jr, angulo, and alvarez in sparring. i found this other article from ring mag as well. it's from 2011:

Somewhere in those articles it also said GGG was having a hard time finding sparring partners cause well, we know why. And of course, there's also the rumor (forgot where it came from) that he was hurting HW's or some crap.Comment

i just checked the link i posted again, there's three pages. the second page is a round by round description of alvarez and golovkin's sparring session. fischer says golovkin hurt alvarez pretty bad in the second round with a hard left hook. yeah, i'll have to look around for those other articles talking about golovkin and HWs. man, i'm so looking forward to seeing what golovkin is going to do against rosado.Yea I read this too. Not surprised tho, it is Angulo after all. However, Chavez Jr is more impressive.
