Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr: Gennady Golovkin is The Best Option Right Now

[BafanaBafana]

If Chavez takes training seriously, this could be a very good fight--FOTY candidate. GGG's style suits Chavez Jr.

Make it happen! I like both fighters but I got Chavez winning this fight.

Would love to see how GGG reacts to one of Chavez Jr's shots. He hasn't fought at 168 before so it would be a step up for him. Could be a really good fight.

There is not "Could be" about it, this may in fact be fight of the year! There styles are perfect for one another. Neither fighter will have to look for each other. I don't think this fight goes the distance.

War Chavez!

neither has Jr fought on elite level. Martinez was his best fight and he lost it

True. Except for the simple facts that Martinez is not only more athletic than GGG and a level above. GGG is a flat footed fighter which suits Jr. Style.

The volume is why I'm confident Golovkin wins and wins somewhat dominantly. Chavez is not as hard a puncher as people seem to think. He has to beat guys up and wear them down to get stoppages against fighters he has 20 pound advantages on. His power isn't going to bother Golovkin that much, I don't think, and he doesn't throw that much to wear Golovkin down.

Meanwhile, his defense is far too bad to avoid what Golovkin is sending back, and if Chavez struggles with weight like he tends to those body shots will have him soiling himself.

A lot of the power talk comes from the Sergio Martinez KD and the Andy Lee KO

To save a career ending beating Chavez Jr better take some classes from Malik the guy who took the dive in the Wilder fight just don't put your arm down before you hit the ground and learn how to roll your eyes back

It would be the biggest payday of his career, but I guarantee Golovkin won't take the fight. Fighting Chavez at 168 would be too much risk when he can continue to fight stiffs and has-beens at 160 and continue to convince naieve fans that he is the greatest puncher since Mile Tyson and everyone is scared of him.

Golovkins team from the looks of it initiated everything, they sent Chavez the stuff, so not sure how you think they're not going to take a fight they're asking for, rofl.
