Comments Thread For: Geale: Golovkin Needs an Opponent Like Me To Be Elite

[US Dirk Killer]

Yh because they was getting knocked down by non punching journeymen every other fight

Same **** with Khan - Doesn't get knocked down for a few fights so all of a sudden he has managed to fix a glass chin!
There is no cure for a glass chin, they just manage to hide is better and it gets found out eventually.

Are you kidding me? Same as Khan?
You're crazy now. When Khan's hurt he hobbles on his unicylce and literally runs. Lamont Peterson literally ran in a circle to catch up with him. Even if he doesn't get knocked down you can see he's dead.

Props to you though... build up the Geale was chinny and always had a weak chin, even though he hasn't been knocked down since 2008.

Of course it starts as a compliment for what would be a step up but they have to try make out I am not giving him enough credit

Seeing you think Geale is so good, you go bet on him then! Be my guest I assure you Golovkin breaks his face in half though.

your logic is ******
Why would I bet on Geale to validate him? Matter of fact, why should I bet on him to validate him as a good opponent because you think he's chinny? You're here saying he's chinny, dude hasn't been downed since 2008, where he obviously made numerous changes in the way he fights.

We all know you're trying to build a weak case for Geale so the same thing doesn't happen again when you discredit Geale after the fight like with Macklin.

Building him up like he had a legit chance before the fight, then calling him a bum every time after that. Might as well plant the seeds now right?

Compared from then to now, he's incorporated a lot more movement....like jittery.
I think it expends a little too much extra energy going in a 12 round fight...but it works for him.

All I can say is he's gotten better since then and has done well against the world class opponents he's faced.

Do I think he's better than Macklin? Yea, I think Geale would beat Macklin

Jittery sums it up perfectly. He uses his legs more that is why he hasn't been down for a while. I wouldn't exactly say he has improved but he has in the sense he fights smarter. If there is one thing I am not critical about Golovkin on its his power and I don't for the life of me see Geale taking it well.

He maybe better than Macklin, that is a fight I'd very much like to see actually. I think they're somewhere around the same level and their styles would gel well.

I see it starting at a fast pace, slowing down a little, then both men throwing till the finish line

No you just pick one or the other to suit your agenda and make out I am being overly critical on a boxer I ain't as high on as you or most others. There is no inbetween.

Enzo Maccarinelli hasn't been knocked down in years either, suppose he hasn't a glass chin either? Same can be said for dozens of other chinny fighters. Hell has Geale even fought a legitimate puncher in his entire career?
If he is getting dropped heavily by 5-6 nobodies with extra no power and hurt by average punchers at best you think his chin stands up to GGGs power? I don't. Not for one minute.

W/E......Vidja games tonight

Hey Dan... w/e to put points int he bank for when you discredit him later.

Just watched Geale vs. Garth Woods and I didn't see anything that would make me think GGG wouldn't break him down in 5-10 rounds.

He uses his legs a lot (people been saying this), but GGG is the best I can think of at cutting off the ring.

Geale is good at closing the distance with his jab and jumping in, but GGG is one of the best at using his feet to stay just out of reach. Think Stevens-GGG or Adama-GGG. Each time both guys tried to make something happen GGG stepped out. After they were done throwing, he just kept stalking.

I really see Geale using his energy in the first four rounds to keep him safe, but after 5 rounds or so he's gonna slow way down. Once you slow down, you're finished with GGG
