Comments Thread For: Chavez: I'm Confident That I'll Beat Gennady Golovkin

[PunchyPotorff]

Jr is durable for one reason: He's huge. He's really a CW fight MW and SMW. Put him in with a legit CW and see what happens. It's good though, that he is durable. We'll get a good showcase to see just how talented GGG is. Can't wait. Should be an excellent fight.

going up weight won't mean much for GGG. have you seen his core muscles? I'd say hes stronger than chavez even at lower weight.

can't imagine this fight not being stopped, especially with some of the bull**** stoppages going around these days

[FrankieClutch]

This is going to be a f.cking CLASSIC! I'm calling it early boys, FOTY!

[ColdBlooded]

I'm wondering if Golovkin will choose to box Chavez rather than come forward.

[Czarczar]

Well

Did anyone noticed how Chavez fractured his hand in his last two fights against Vera?

I'm wondering if Golovkin will choose to box Chavez rather than come forward.

We will all see come july 19th!

When Chavez feels that power

When Chavez feels that power

Funny thing is, Chavez can box on the backfoot (as he showed in Vera I), I'm not sure Golovkin can. Golovkin is going to get hit as he comes forward.

Who cares about the specifics,you either go for chavez or you go for ggg....thats it,*** the small talk

I like how people on nsb like to call chavez jr a bum,and now that he chooses to fight the most hyped up fighter on nsb,now its not a good idea for ggg to move up and fight chavezjr 8 pounds north???.....chavez clearly put that boogeyman myth to rest and called out ggg,a fighter who everyone is so scared of right????....and if chavez jr is such a bum shouldnt ggg be able to walk right through him?cmon man with that b.s

Good to see you took your own advice *eyeroll*

There's a reason people go into specifics and that bc they matter. Yea he's only going up 8 pounds but it's relevant bc he's pretty small at middleweight and is going up to fight probably the biggest smw in the division and will likely be outweighed by around 15-20lbs on fight night. That's a huge equalizer in this fight. Same as when he fought Martinez. Martinez was clearly the more skilled but Chavez had a huge size advantage and that almost ended up winning him the fight.

You're clearly a Golovkin hater and I just don't get all the hate some people have for him. Yea some people take it overboard with the praise but most people call him for what he is an above average fighter who is damn exciting. Out of those who know what they're talking about nobody is saying he is invincible, he's not top 10 p4p ranked by really anyone. Still, the guy has done nothing but impress every time he steps in the ring. People may criticize his level of opposition but its not terrible, he is fighting contenders, just not elite competition, and he absolutely dominates. Its not like he's going life and death with these guys and he stops every single one of them. I don't recall him losing a round since his American debut. He is a complete gentleman and respects the sport more than mostly anyone else in. I don't get how all this adds up to him being "the biggest hypejob." Now he's taking a challenge in moving up and fighting Chavez and still people are hating, what do you want this guy to do?

You know what? Props to Chavez for taking this fight. This **** is going to be a war.
