It's nitpicky, but it's that one punch where I realized that a GGG/Ward fight would be more interesting than people think. I don't feel like going into it but Golovkin's jab I think people are underestimating, even against someone as good as Ward.
    Ima watch and get back to you. If he wasn't hurt then I doubt his legs would shake. But it wasn't me getting tagged.

      I guess instead of shake I should've said he lost his balance for a second after the shot.

        Ok well losing your balance can happen. I don't think that necessarily means another fighter can hurt you. We're talking two different things here.

          I'd like to see this fight, but I wouldn't be keen on 12 rounds of clinching, refereeing has to be up to the mark.
          That guy in your avatar did a lot of clinching. Doesn't seem to bother you though.

            Of course but losing your balance from just a jab is a bit different than just losing your balance. Obviously his equilibrium was messed up for a second from getting hit, he wasn't randomly losing his balance. I'm trying to figure out what to say to where I want to go with this but I can't find the words. **** it.

              Countless number of punchers have been defeated by a boxer. I'm very confident he can. Triple G is the real thing but hasn't faced the top of his division yet

                Some people are really reaching to prove their points. Next you'll see "Ward legs didn't look great during the walk to the ring. Golovkin's power would be too much."

                  Depends. You can lose your balance from anything depending on your stance or whatever you're doing. That doesn't mean the next guy can hurt you.

                      I'm not arguing that. I'm talking about this specific instance where a jab landed and his legs gave way for a second. Nothing more, nothing less.
