Is GGG The Demmolisher one dimensional?

Maybe. But you'd have to be better in close than Golovkin is. Ward could do it, but i think hes about the only one in and around MW.
Same way that if you were better than Rigo as an outside fighter you could beat him by forcing him to lead. I dont think anyone currently is good enough to do that thoughComment

I think he is but he is very good in that dimension. OrI don't know what's considered to one dimensional. I don't mean it just to the likes of Rios. For me, when someone never canges his gameplan and literally does the same thing on every of his fights is one dimensional. To be fair, by this standard, many boxers are oe dimensional.Comment

He has many dimensions to his aggressive style. Just how he changes the speed to his attack is more than most fighters do, who operate at one speed, not to mention that GGG throws every punch in the book, and some that aren't even in it(the left hook high to the forehead), always setting up his next shot. One dimensional? Who else has that kind of variety to their offensive game?Comment

Wrong.What is mono dimensional in my opinion is his defense, the comparison with Chavez sr is a good one in terms of offense, but the Mexican had a much better defense , counters and head movement, while GGG doesn't seem to care about defense if countered or pushed back, he just keeps on piling up the pressure. I can't recall him countering a shot, his game so far has been solely based on offense.

Where in this video is GGG compared to Chavez sr?.
Besides, in many of the higlights he manages to avoid uppercuts while on the offense (what the video is about), but he also gets tagged when retrating in a straight line.
Make no mistake, GGG is a very good fighter, but he's not nearly as well rounded as a Chavez sr , his defense should be improved or he might struggle when somebody is strong enough to push him back, imo.Comment

I wasn't comparing him to Chavez Sr. I was simply responding tho this.
I think the video demonstrates that he absolutely cares about defense but it is always in the context of his offense, as it should be. Also, the idea that he doesn't counter a shot? Once again the video refutes the fact that he doesn't counter shots. In fact he counters plenty.Comment
