Is GGG The Demmolisher one dimensional?

[ИATAS]

I get his jist. He's basically saying the same thing everyone else is but he doesn't relay his messages well he comes off rash, dramatic, and gets caught up in his own emotions. He starts off well, then ends up ending in an emotional, tangent. And he comes off disrespectful. He's off his rocker though.

Yeah, he's not a very good ambassador of the sport he's so negative and constantly bashing fighters. Often times the quality just isn't there on Friday Night Fights obviously and he still doesn't give the guys any breaks, it will be like a journeyman vs journeyman and he's ripping them like there's no tomorrow about what they should be doing lol its like calm down Teddy, these are just the filler fights relax.

I bet people would say the same thing about Julio Ceasar Chavez Sr. One dimensional, not a complete fighter. Look I'm not comparing their careers or their resume's because there is a huge gap currently, I'm just talking about styles.

You can be a smart, effective puncher, with heart, will and a chin and be a great fighter. There are maybe like 4-5 guys in the history of the sport that are "complete" fighters. My whole point is can a guy utilize the tools he's given. Golovkin looks like he can use the tools he's given and he knows how to fight within himself. Will that carry to higher weights or tougher competition. That's yet to be seen but I feel like he's fairly close to complete because he fights exactly how he should fight for his skillset and natural ability.

Chavez was in a whole other level, he was a master at cutting the ring and a genius at smothering. Even when he was getting hit he continue to attack and took very short breathers. As much as I hate to admit it Chavez was something special. I never bought into the whole but he fought a bunch of cab drivers in MX. Usually when guys are pure hype or have fabricated records they choke in the first or second real challenge but this man beat them all without pause. Truly an all time great even though I wasn't a fan do to his appetite for kicking PR a*s. Mexico should always be proud to call him one of there own.

He is funny though. How he was going off on the "turtle shell" defense.

He has his moment's, especially when he's about to blow a gasket

I agree completely and my point still stands. Chavez fought exactly how he should have fought for his genetics, skill-set, size, etc. The big difference is that Chavez did prove himself against top competition and GGG has not yet. Point still stands though, Chavez had dimension. When was the last time you saw a "boxer" fight like Chavez. The head movement, the output, the variation of levels and punches. Not to mention the intangibles.

Again, very few fighters historically are are "complete" fighters. That's another discussion but name me 5 guys who could fight equally well on the inside brawling, boxing off the back-foot and effective at the mid-range? With a great chin, great heart? Name em. Usually the best fighters are ones who master their specific style and impose it on the opposition.

To this point he's shown nothing besides an ability to put immense pressure on opponents, and hasn't looked very good going backwards. Maybe that's because he hasn't had to show more, but yeah I'd call him one-dimensional.

Granted, he's really, really good at that one dimension and it's been enough to destroy his competition. Most fighters only have a single dimension and certainly aren't as good at that dimension as Golovkin is stalking opponents.

[Tom Cruise]

Yes he is one dimensional from what I've seen so far. but then so is Rigo.

Tim Bradley is very versatile and I'd rate him as being worse tthan both (though his resume is better for a few reasons)

Versatility isn't the be all and end all. It can be handy sometimes, but perfecting your own style is the most important thing.

I wouldn't say that Rigo is one dimensional, he surely isn't an inside fighter, and being rather small even for his weight class doesn't help in that regard. Apart from that though he has more than one dimension: he can make you miss and counter in the pocket, he can move , he can box and he is also dangerous at mid range.

Lara is a better example in my opinion, he only looks comfortable on the outside, and will avoid to stay at mid range , or on the inside, at all stages.


Regarding GGG , he is not one dimensional in terms of offense. He has a good jab and mixes up his punches well. He knows how to go to the body, is patient and very effective when he wants to push the fight.

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.

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.

He has one very good dimension.
