    Basic as Dr Zeus.

    Kelly Pavlik didn't let people like that touch him.
    Cotto wouldn't even let that trash touch him.


    Leonard Bundu...now THAT is awkward.
    I've only really noticed him dropping his left whilst in punching range the odd times he is dropping his right is when hes setting traps and looking to counter under the jab with the uppercut.
    Adamu is awkward with his bad balance, jittery style and constant leaning back not to mention his ridiculously long reach. Hes no world beater but I imagine hes hard to train for and its a game getting sparring partners to replicate the things he does. Looks to me like a guy who will be extremely hard to impress against.

    Pavlik and Cotto have got touched by a lot lesser fighters than Adamu who didn't really land anything noteworthy but the jab.

      Then when Ward Responds and issue the challenge which he has done several times the respond will be "Not Right Now" "Ward Should Move Up To 175" and all that other BS

      Ward has made it CLEAR that he is ready to fight GGG anytime anywhere, so MAKE IT HAPPEN and lets see if he can. I got Ward by COMFORTABLE UD! Ward gets INSIDE and take his Soul and His Power Away!

It's not like Golovkin's game gets neutralized, the guy arches his punches in a way as to get through an opponent's defensive shell, isn't that adjusting on the move? I can understand if he continuously uses the same punch that's been rendered useless but that's never the case.
        GGG can't fight backing up or on the back foot.

        At all
        Period
        He has no plan B

        Keith Thurman just made 25 and he never enters the ring without a contingency plan.


        What happens when GGG can't move foreward??
        I highly doubt he turns into Willie Pepp and boxes like a master.

        People love punchers to the point they fail to notice GLARING defensive flaws.

        GGG makes so many mistakes it won't take a special fighter to beat him.

        Golovkin also has physical disadvantages that have to be considered:

        His reach.............. a measly 70"
        Half the guys at 135 have more than that.

        Nicholas Walters is a Featherweight and he has that beat by a mile.

        GGG also has puny legs.
        He looks like he had polio or ate too many paint chips as a kid.

        A big bubble head set atop a scrawny neck and lop-sided shoulders.

        C'mon people
        HBO has ya'll bamboozled.

        Dude is a hilarious KO waiting to happen.

          Well Golovkin at the moment hasn't needed to display what he could do moving backwards, although he looked pretty vulnerable against Stevens in doing so, that said we would need to see him in more situations like that to truly evaluate if he can fight going backwards a little bit.

            Fighters than can fight going backwards do so.

            That's the thing about skill.

            If you don't use it you'll lose it.

              Also, has Ward ever faced anyone who can throw short punches on the inside? He hasn't and I don't think people here take that into consideration. Ward's inside game isn't as refined as people think, he can fight in the clinches but can he use a two handed attack up close for a sustained amount of time? I'm not so sure.

                I think Golovkin would stop Ward but if anyone can shut Golovkin down and decision him then it is Andre Ward. Hardest match-up for both men at 168.

                  The fighters Ward is neutralizing up close can't fight a lick on the inside. Are people unaware of this? So why are we to assume Golovkin gets the same business?

                    You know how to make it happen? The guy with much higher purse demands and self proclaimed A side makes a good offer to the other guy. What's the holdup, you suppose?

                    You sure about ready anytime, anywhere? Ward is not really an anywhere guy, and they're looking for multiple tuneups. In fact till recently he couldnt fight at all, being in court

                      GGG puny legs.....Andre would rag-doll him on the inside.

                      I bet Ward can deal with short punches on the inside better than Golovkin.

                      Andre brings his punches straight back.
                      Golovkin drops his punches.

                      Ward is far better in the trenches than GGG.
                      Many guys on Golovkin's resume are Jr Middleweights.

                      He has zero experience against somebody bigger and stronger...not to mention faster and SMARTER.
