Comments Thread For: Daniel Geale: I Don't Buy Into Golovkin's Reputation

[Y0@NN]

He wanted to fight Golovkin in Morocco

Monaco. That's where he has his non HBO fights now.

You'll definitely be buying into it on Sunday morning my friend, GGG has some serious boxing talent and allot of it I just feel he hasnt had to show yet because no opponent has had the tools to have to make him get out of "break you down" mode.

I for one believe GGG is extremely dangerous and hides certain aspects of his boxing artillery because he doesn't want to go into 3rd gear because gears 1+2 are almost too far much for anyone as it is.

If Golovkin opens up abit more I have a feeling someone else unfortunately will suffer the tragic results of the Perez vs Magomed fight.

Oh you already lost, Respect the power before the power disrespect you!

this... geale wouldn't know what hit him if he don't buy GGG's power.

I don't buy it either, he doesn't pass my eye test. Sadly its a very weak division with what to me are a lot of Euro level opposition.

I am really not sold on GGG he is a limited pressure fighter with a big punch.
I don't think his defense is good and I think his ability to cut a ring off is hilariously overrated. People just see what they want to see and believe.

No matter how he dispatches of Geale it wouldn't really impress me, its not hate or not giving him his due I've just never rated Geale at all and my post history will show that. He is gutsy & has a good work rate but hes a mediocre boxer.
Does everything well nothing great and has a lot of defensive flaws to go with a sub-par chin. I fully expect Geale to be taken out early. Hes never fought a puncher & been down around a dozen times against opposition who frankly couldn't break an egg.

Let me guess. Any win Golovkin gets that isn't Andre Ward won't impress you

Whether Geale bus into Golovkin's reputation or not. He will have his hands full Saturday night.

There just isn't anybody at middleweight worth giving praise for. They are all C level or worse.

The only fighter at middleweight which I will give praise for is Sergio Mora because IMO his style gives GGG fits.

I'd like to see Lemieux for obvious reasons.
If N'Dam gets by Stevens, that fight would do nicely & I'd give praise for that one.
Jacobs would be perfectly fine by me too.

What is there to say when Sam Soliman is easily a top 5 fighter?
Geale, Soliman, Chudinov, Fletcher - The division is a joke and any fighter coming through with any real ability will clean it out with ease. Its the weakest division in boxing and maybe MW history. No fault of GGGs, it is what it is.

how can a division with peter quillin in it be weak?

[GhostBlade]

Geale is going to be sent back to Australia and only fight there from now on. Golovkin will take his reputation and his will to fight any decent fighter ever again.

Cruiser, lhw and hw are also weak divisions.
