GGG Cannot Fight Going Backwards!

[Southpawology]

No ones going to be able to push triple G backwards CONSISTENTLY through a fight anyways so he wont have to worry about fighting going backwards

[Kagami Taiga]

Because it makes you one-diminsional like pavlik, chavez jr, mayorga,margs
Eventually you will fight elite guys that will make you go backwards,, that is what seperates the serg, floyd, hopkins, chavez, duran type fighters from the good fighters like pavlik, taylor, tito, chavez jr,,,

Manny used to just come straight forward, but once he learned to box off the back foot and counter off the back foot, he went to another level,, he started this after morales took his shots and beat him up in the 1st fight, then manny realized you need some more in the arsenal than just coming forward,,

Great post.

ok...so find as fighter that has the skillset to force GGG to keep fighting backwards..for 12 rounds...good luck


why fight backwards when you have no problem destroying guys going forward?


i knew this type of thread would be on here this morning..predictable as it is lame

ward, bika, froch, kessler, all will push golovkin backwards.

and i agree that golovkin is no better then mythesse.......golovkin has better skills but mythesse counters that with a much better work rate. (when you throw combos at golovkin it holts his offense) not mythesse.

at 160 you will be hard pressed because it's such a weak division but murray might have a shot at it...........

Talk about micro-analyzing. The guy takes a few steps backwards for a 5 second spurt and all the sudden he cant fight backwards and is one dimensional.

in order to push GGG backwards, you have to come at him...i'll take my chances with GGG against anyone that has that strategy


i would worry more about a counterpuncher with superior handspeed and a good chin than someone who can 'push' GGG back

Murray? No way. Quillin has the power to but that's about it, I'd expect that fight to go similar to the Stevens fight. Middleweight has no1 to deal with the guy. IMO it's a crap division too esp sic ce none if the top guys will even bother fighting him. I think all the top guys at 168 will fight him tho. Which is why it's one of my fav divisions.

Sorry Froch is the only guy out the list that can push GGG Back.
