Golovkin is a solid fighter but nothing wow's me about him other than his power

[T18Z]

Canelo is 23 years old and is the most accurate puncher in the sport. Not only is he accurate, he is poised, intelligent fast and defensively superb for is age and will only get better. He is the future of the sport.

As you say.

I hope after the Floyd fight he moves up and faces Golovkin, then we'll see who's the future of the sport.

Those excuses are pretty valid. If you understand nutrition then you'll realize they are pretty legitimate. Lack of sleep, nutrition, hydration and most likely mental stress, all very valid, but whatever.

Ouma has a chin made of gold, he made the guy literally quit from the damage he took. All I see is you saying because he didn't knock either down he must be bad or have performed bad, you give no credit to Ouma or Rosado, and you also do not take into account the context of the fight. An example is you are deliberately ignoring how Rosado was running the whole fight vs Golovkin, you think if he took more risks he wouldn't have been knocked down?

It's like saying "hurr durr because Pacquaio couldn't finish Bradley that must mean Pacquaio did bad", meanwhile ignoring how Bradley was in survival mode, practically on his bike and hurt multiple times.

Ouma's chin is good, but he doesn't have a Bika, Mosely, Hopkins type chin either, he's been stopped before.

You're right in that Rosado wasn't fighting GGG head on. How irrational would it be for a career fringe 154 contender (moving up to 160 for the first time) to go after a renowned hard hitting middleweight titleholder? It's pretty clear that Rosado was trying to take GGG into the deep waters, but unfortunately for him he cut easily. Even though his style was a bit of a safety first approach he was able to stay away from the ropes for most of the fight and manage to land some hard counters on GGG that managed to get his attention. As a matter of fact, I think he actually managed to back Golovkin up in the 5th round (a round Rosado won).

Also, since you brought it up, Pacquiao's whole career at 140-150 is pretty overrated. Bradley was moving up from 140 and was fighting with an ankle injury against the supposed #1P4P.

Are we still on this golovkin is a brawler with no skills flow? If you can't see the skill he possess then its time to watch another sport

[gingerbreadman]

TS goes on about wow factor, when what he's really getting at is speed/slickness. Golovkin, quite apart from ridiculous power, has timing and ring generalship as his main weapons. They're not as flashy as slickness or speed, leaving only the power as the attribute most people remember, thus leaving the said most people with a potential reason to denigrate him unjustly.

His definitely skilled and a very hard puncher, but he's not Superman either.

Lol so because I rate Golovkin but don't completely kiss his ass I need to watch another sport.

[helloimanton]

A stiff jab, constant pressure, ring iq, and crazy power isn't good enough for you?

[A-Wolf]

a clubber?

he's a technical offensive fighter. he addresses the target with his knuckles every time he throws a big shot. he never throws clubbing punches.

there's a difference between "not much to look at," and not knowing what you're looking at.

That's a sassy little post, b*tch. In the words of Golovkin's own opponents he has "clubbing" power. Trying to reinterpret my meaning back to me is laughable. WTF is a "clubbing punch?" Don't try and tell me what I'm looking at, fool. You know nothing about me.

Nobody is superman. But there's a reason why everyone's avoidin him

As I said he's good but he's no Mayweather/Pacquiao/Canelo. He's too hyped on here.
