Can GGG fight going backwards?

[BoxingGenius27]

Stevens had him going backwards in the 4th and GGG looked terrible. He got caught with several good shots. The next round, for some reason, Stevens began to back up again.

I think if GGG fights a guy that will back him up and pressure him, I don't see it playing to well for GGG for I'm almost certain he loses.

dont know, would love to see him in with a prime Pavlik

He used to be able to fight going backwards as an Amateur, but that was ages ago. His fighting style has evolved quite a bit since then, and you can lose what you don't use. It is not like riding a bike, just ask Cotto.

Gennady has had 375 fights without being knocked down or out, and I'm sure he has had periods of fighting backwards in the amateurs, if not in the pros much. Clearly, someone with his style excels when he pressures forward looking for the KO, on the backfoot is not his style. However, I would never really be certain of him losing...it would take a special puncher or a really really good boy to stop and/or beat GGG.

I just want to see GGG in a fight where he gets tagged consistently throughout the fight.

If Danny Garcia can do it, Golovkin can

Ouma? It honestly won't matter unless the opponent has exceptional power. Golovkin's chin is legit.

Frazier and Foreman couldn't fight going backward. Does that make them "bad" boxers?

The Ouma fight is one of the reasons i think Golovkin is beatable. He didn't look the best against a fighter who was past it and never that good in the first place.
