Comments Thread For: Martin Murray: I Don't See Any Weakness in Golovkin

[chardrnm]

Golovkin defense is not that good. He has good chin to absorb punches. A power puncher with counter punching skills can beat him.

Yeah that's it. I can't believe nobody has tried that yet.

Andre Ward sees a LOT of weaknesses in Golovkin.

No surprise that he is fighting Murray instead of Ward.

No surprise Ward is choosing to be inactive instead of fighting

I can find one right off the bat, he likes using his face to block punches. Problem is, MW is one of the weakest divisions, collectively having some of the weakest punchers in boxing. They are the second weakest weight class after Strawweight. So although GGG's weakness is that he likes to take a punch to land one, he has nothing to worry about when taking that punch since he's fighting some of the relatively weakest punchers of pro boxing. GGG will leave himself open for Murray, purposely, with really nothing to worry about with Murray's 39% KO ratio. Just like with Geale, he gladly took his weak punches to land one of his hard counter punches.

Disagree. Stats show a guy with decent defense. Especially for an aggressive fighter. He really doesn't get hit all that often. He's not Floyd or Ward. But he's better than guys like Chavez, Fonfara and Kirkland.

Yes, it's no surprise that Ward's fighting nobody instead of GGG. As I said in another thread, Andre Ward, please fight GGG. Win or lose, just fight him. You said you would, so do so (your vacation is over). Remember, Andre Ward, you said that you'd fight GGG. Time is passing, and you're not even fighting let alone fighting GGG. Get it together, Andre Ward. Fight. Fight GGG. Win or lose, fight. You've been inactive for 15 months now. Don't make it 18 months. Get with it. We are losing faith. Some call you S.O.G. Soon it will be S.O.B. Fight soon, and keep that from happening. Talk is cheap. Fight. Get paid. Get ranked again. Make your fans proud. Fight. It's your profession. Hey! Maybe try Kovalev; do something!

GGG hits a heck of a lot harder than Floyd and Ward!

This Ward of yours: is he a fighter or something? Where does he fight? When does he fight?

[socialteach]

GGG can be defensively responsible when needed. When he fought Curtis Stevens, he took his time and broke Stevens down; waiting several rounds before Stevens corner mercifully stopped the fight. GGG is willing to take a punch to give one, but with better fighters, I think he's smart enough to use better defrense.

Exceptional speed or Observable Power. I. E. Khan's hand speed or Choco's power.

Maybe a thud-hitter like Margarito would cut GGG up.
