My first thought after reading the title.

He'd be having a field day in here

In honour of Dirk someone needs to claim that DeGale would KO GGG without any trouble.

Punch Stats



I love it where he says that Murray showed that Golovkin can be hit. These are the punch stats for the fight. Murray landed an average of 11.9 per round. The Middleweight average is 17.4. GGG landed an average of 26.5. So in the Murray fight Murray connected with 5.5 punches under the average and GGG connected with 9.1 over the average. Murray's own 4 fight average is 16.7 so he did not even manage to hit his own average.

I think the facts show that GGG is not so easy to hit and hits back with more than double what he receives.

Why is Dirk banned?

Before Santa Cruz fights Frampton/Rigo.

Degale certainly has the tools to beat GGG. His power is not something to ignore, he can hurt his opponents and has enough venom to keep GGG honest. Problem is he shouldn't go on the ropes too much, but he did that in 5 of his fights (before Gonzalez) due to groin injury. Also needs to sit down on his shots more.
