He steamrolls GGG

[stuff jones]

Points should be deducted for excessive clinching.

I couldn't make it past twenty. That reminded me why I'm glad he doesn't fight, how anyone can enjoy that is beyond me. He's perfected the jab/clinch, cross/clinch just like wlad.

Froch and Dawson were clean fights. Edwin started out ugly but Edwin was a dirty mofo himself. Once the ref got control it was a clean fight.

like ggg would fight ward the same way as he fought murray???

come on people
u have different gameplan againts different fighters
of course ggg would have a different way of dealing ward

Golovkin had a 'soft' punching opponent, it's a hell of a lot easier to keep constant pressure on an opponent when you don't respect his power. Murray could box a bit but was rather ordinary when it came to punches being placed.

Sure, Golovkin looked ok in a fight that was specially set up for him to display his talent. Other than throwing a mean hook, with his elbow up, I didn't see much that would convince me that Golovkin could beat Ware.

Clinching, body shots and the disruption of GGG's work would work in his favor....
After last night though, we saw GGG will keep up said pressure the whole fight

I'm going to put that froch fight on after I eat. I remember it being one sided but I think it was dirty, lets see if you're right lol

After watching that fight again it's clear to see that in a baby ring or in a real sized ring andre Ward gives gennady a very sobering lesson in how to box .. Am I the only one that sees how flawed he is and how he is really tailor made for Ward ..?

Also note how Murray could get close enough to hold .. Ward is a master at the game

At holding, he sure is

GGG would need to improve some skills to have a chance to beat Ward, and would need to train specifically for that fight, very intelligently.

That said, I think GGG's plan is to first win all the hardware at MW, and THEN move up. And Ward certainly wouldn't be his first SMW opponent. So there's time to improve.

I think GGG is shortish of stature for SMW and would really need to get his head moving and work more on defense to face Ward.

I agree with everyone who says GGG simply had no respect for Murray's power and wanted to show this, wanted to "fight", as he says. He's a street fighter at heart (GGG's entire life before fighting as an amateur) who enjoys putting his face out there and saying let's trade.

Yes the only person who beats him is a retired SMW! Why not throw Calzaghe in there too?! LOL Shut up you spastic... Ward is irrelevant these days! LOL Abraham had him playing posum & going into turtle mode! 3G is a stylistic nightmare for Ward, he can actually fight on the inside! All Ward does is clinch & headbutt there, Golovkin would have a field day! Won't happen anyway because Ward doesn't have any bargaining tools nowadays so he would have to give into Golovkins demands! I get that he has made you feel insecure but don't let Kovalev, Calzaghe, Golovkin type fighters threaten you! They are actually quite good & you should learn to embrace them instead of using fantasy scenarios as an emotional crutch!

Ward is irrelevant now.
