Julio Cesar Chavez jr vs Gennady Golovkin Master Discussion Thread

Triple G wins it.

This isn't Martinez or Vera that is going to be landing shots on Jr.

Power in both hands, and has stopped people to the body as well.

Ref stoppage in the 10th.

There's no doubt GGG is better than Jr as far as pure skills are concerned. Saying that, I think Jr's size will play a factor in this IF he comes in shape and ready to go.

One thing I noticed about GGG, is that he doesn't have the best head movement I have ever seen. Stevens hit him, and sometimes he's there to be hit. I think Jr will hit him, the question is, how will GGG take it?

In the end I would pick GGG but Chavez' size could play an big role if he comes ready.

I think Stevens hits harder than Chavez. Chavez has size behind his shots more than he has power. He has to wear you down with that size. I don't expect his single shots to bother Golovkin, and once he feels GGG's power he'll end up trying to box and land single shots, which won't work at all.

Very excited for this one. Will be a war

if there's anybody who could take golovkin's power it's jr so if he really puts his mind into it and train hard he has a chance imo. he already has the size, height and reach advantage on his side but he needs to be in the best shape to compete with ggg. golovkin obviously is the more technically sound fighter but he doesn't have the handspeed of martinez and he's easier to hit than sergio.

the first few rounds will be critical for jr...if he could wither the storm and land some of his own especially his body attacks he'll give golovkin a good fight.

chavez jr will be left in pieces after all is said and done.

Toss up imo. GGG has more skills but Chavez has the chin and can and will land on GGG late.

Don't think so at all.

I fear for Chavez's health in this one. Hopefully his corner isn't stubborn and throws in the towel when the inevitable happens. Throw away the pride once it becomes evident your taking the beating of your life.
