Is GGG The Demmolisher one dimensional?

[B-Bomber]

Rigo is definitely one-dimensional. He wants to stay at a certain range, make you miss, and counter with the left. He's superb at that one dimension, but that's what he is. He won't ever go inside and start working at you, or become a pressure fighter throwing combinations.

If you put it that way, then yes, he -is- a counter puncher, i'm not arguing over that, but that isn't being one dimensional in my opinion.

I mentioned Lara for a reason, he looks completely out of his waters if forced to stay at mid range, while Rigo can and will trade if he feels he has to.

He traded at mid range with Donaire (at the very beginning and at the very end) and in his last fight after getting knocked down.

He surely isn't as versatile as a Bradley (who in my opinion should stick to be a boxer) , but I wouldn't call him one dimensional.

He has one dimension: Destroy!

GGG The Demolisher Vs. Gozer The Destructor, is the fight I wanna see.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Rigondeaux is impossible to fight. If you stand off him, he's too quick and his footwork is too good so he'll be able to pick you off and get out. If you pressure him, he'll counter the **** out of you.

He makes his opponents zero-dimensional.

Rigo and Lara have the same dimension, but Rigo is much, much better at it. I'm not saying Rigo's dimension is retreating, his dimension is that he wants to be at mid-range. If his opponent presses, Rigo retreats. If his opponent retreats, Rigo presses. His game to make you miss at mid-range and counter with his left hand. That's what he does, and nothing else. He isn't comfortable inside at all. He'll throw a couple punches and clinch. That's why Donaire ended up being perfect for him, because it's Donaire's same dimension as well, which Rigo is much better at.

Lara tries to do the same thing, to stay at a certain range and counter, but he's so easily thrown off. The Trout fight is an example of when Lara is actually comfortable with the range, and it's one of his best performances.

Limited maybe, but not one dimensional. . . Problem is that strong dimension that we do often see, is so problematic for his opponents that it seems to be enough for him at the moment.

[Agent Mulder]

if he would have cut the ring off a bit better he would have taken murray out of there about 4 rounds earlier. He didn't though and just followed murray around for 5 rounds or so. He's actually lucky that last KD eveN happened. Murray was doing okay just making his way around the ring and sliding out of the corner when GGG got closer.

Ward washes him.

He sure looked it in his last fight. IMO. I know he has a lot of power but watching the last fight he looked very flat footed and I don't know if he just had no respect for his opponent's power but all he did was move straight forward.

LMAO if you think GGG is flat footed then you honestly have no clue what you are watching in the ring. GGG's footwork cutting off the ring is absolutely elite its his best attribute by far.

Agreed and this is what i see with Golovkin in the MW division.

You can go toe to toe with him and he'll wreck you with his great power and solid chin. Or you can move away from him and hell cut the ring off and force you to fight where you dont want to.

'One dimensional' doesnt have any bearing on whether someones a good/bad fighter

[Tom Cruise]

The key is to find ways to deal with opponents who want to take away your one dimension.

GGG cuts the ring off.

Mayweather does what ever he can to maintain space(clinching, moving, pushing oppinent back etc etc)

Rigo punishes fighters who come towards him with hard counters and uses great footwork to stay away.
