    It's a concern going up. Can he take super middleweight power as easily as he does middleweight power? If so, Ward's the only one who can beat him.

    Then again, maybe Golovkin has yet to show his full arsenal. It's hard to tell when he's willing to clown around against the best in his division. You wonder if he has another gear in him or not.

      But I will say he's overrated by some.

      His defense at times last night was just ridiculously bad. Maybe it's because he had no respect for Murray's power but at times he was literally walking in a straight line with his head completely stationary. He doesn't move his head much in general though really.
      He has no defence. He's very much a front runner. He literally does nothing when he's being backed up except eat punches. He doesn't counter-punch or defend himself.

      He has one very good dimension and that's coming forward

        well ward has no power so that doesn't matter. what matters against ward is the ref and is he going to be able to wlad it up and hold nonstop? golovkin should put it in the contract that a ref who enforces clinching be selected and then this ref can carefully explain to ward how if he holds he will be penalized. surely ward would agree to that right? its just the rules after all.

          why are refs who allow clinching selected? its like selecting a ref who allows low blows when golota is fighting.

            Ward is not a KO ing but he has enough power imo.
            He made Froch gunshy and beat him easil. Froch's style is not the same as Golovkin's but similar in some terms namely that they both build on contiguous pressure and they both like totrap their opponents against the ropes. Also it seems like they both have decent chins.
            So Froch's chin is ain't no glss but still he couldn't walk through Ward's punches. I think neither Golovkin can do that.

                Ofcourse hes stalling because hes not a fully fledged middleweight, thats why after kirkland he should move up, but he wants cotto first because of the money. Styles make fights and like alot of the bigger names they wait for the right time to move as this is where the business gets involved. I believe when he decides to move up to 160 properly hell have alot better chance of beating GGG.

                  So the guy is a bum but it takes a combination of great skills, chin and speed to beat him?

                    He's easily the best in his division, and if he moved up I would only pick Ward over him at this point (if he fights again), however it's the people putting him up there with the Middleweight greats that is frustrating.

                    Murray is a top ten guy at the moment but the division is pretty horrible. Ggg beat him up and ko'd him so he did his job, but I'm still waiting for him to really be challenged by a top quality fighter. I think this won't happen at middleweight, even if the division stops ducking him

                      Cotto ices this mother*cker. Straight up lol.

                      Canelo takes his soul.

                      Quillin might decision him if he has a good chin.

                      Mayweather would probably break both hands teeing off on this guy.

                      Jermell charlo outboxes him easy.

                      Lemieux golovkin 50-50.

                      Oh ffs please dont ever move up and fight ward unless u wanna end ur career ggg lol.

                      Shi*t hopkins wins too im goin all out lol.


                      Reason???
