    He did a good job early on and he does have decent reflexes but he can't see a jab coming very well at all. I look at his frame and he is a "smallish" man but he is "thick". His legs, arms, mid-section, shoulders, and back are all dense. He reminds me of a workhorse, like a mule or something and having all that muscle will make you tire out very quickly. His movement seems to decline dramatically after 2 or 3 rounds.
    go look at his compubox stats and tell me he slows down after 3 rounds...his punches go up and accuracy goes up the longer he fights...silly comment by u...

      GGG's biggest weakness is his lack of legitimate competition. Lets see him against some top ranked fighters at or near 154. The division is loaded with decent fighters yet he keeps getting matched against milk men and mechanics.

        I agree that when he is out of range or not engaging his head movement is good but when hes in close or really focused on offense he doesn't move his head. Also sometimes gets trigger happy and a bit sloppy when he does.

        But other than that, the guy is a skilled boxer. Mixes it up well, good combinations, extremely fluid, moves his head on the outside, sets up punches and has great footwork for cutting off the ring

          i think sergio has the skills to beat ggg i think it may come down to age and if hes healthy that dont mean he will but he has the tools to do it and i think ward beats him no doubt on paper i dont see anyone else but we honestly wont know until he fights a "big" name. But he sure does look the part thats for sure

              Close to what I was going to say. GGG is 10-0 in title fights but only fought one top ten contender.

                    Dude is schit, he couldn't keep his mouth closed after 3 rounds today......I could care less what a stat sheet says, I know what my eyes tell me and they say the dude was half spent after a few rounds. That's the problem with "numbers guys" and spreadsheet readers. They lose touch with reality...sure numbers are important but they only tell a fraction of the whole story. When 99% of you fights don't even go 6 rounds, how can you be prepared to go the long haul? Common sense, solves that one.

                      He is no defensive expert, but it's hard to be defensive when your an offensive juggernaut,, manny had the same problem at the lower weights...

                      And his stamina is questionable,, he is very relaxed and measured which helps with stamina, but we have yet to see him in a competitive deep waters fight, so it's not really a weakness, it's more of an unknown
