Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I Can Box Like Mayweather, But That's Boring

Jas...real talk...you need to go out and get laid. Even if you gotta pay for it. Get you some, bro.

Jas should finger himself. I'm sure he would feel a lot better.

Being able to "box" is synonymous with "fighting like Floyd" these days because he is the master boxer. GGG meant that he can "box" he doesn't actually believe he can do the things Floyd does. No one can

This right here.

I can't believe people actually took this "box" statement as Golovkin saying he could emulate Mayweather's style.

GGG can't be talking about boring Mayweather because he has only fought bums so far. The day he fights his first opponent with a pulse he can start talking.

He is making up for it through activity. If the catch was that he would get the Cotto fight if he were just less active, then why not. But it isn't. He has just one belt division and has had it since 2010, and none of the other title holders want a piece of him. What a shame. Cotto and the other title holders should be motivated to take him down seeing how he has been a Middleweight Title holder since 2010, which is half a decade.

I tend to forget that G is 33. He has to make a move on seriously trying to get on board with that fight. Froch don't like his options since Jr lost and might perceive G like a smaller man.

Already 33 and has yet to move up a division. He will never be considered a great fighter with his piss poor professional resume.

I guess at the end of the day everyone wants to get paid. That's why he's sitting around and waiting. And why he'd rather take on easy paydays rather than move up and risk catching a loss.

And all of you guys who got your panties in a twist over his comment -- don't you understand that he doesn't speak fluent English?

I am sure he didn't mean that he could literally box the same way as Mayweather. He just meant that he could move around, and throw less punches and he would win decisions just the same.

Hell, Miguel Cotto was a pure boxer against Margarito in the rematch. He used his footwork and backpaddled and ran circles around Margarito all night long. Does that mean that he can do it against everyone? No.

And he would still be wrong lol. He's not on the same level as Mayweather in terms of boxing skill.

Are you his interpreter?

Like i said before GGG has a great footwork but hes using it in a offensive way, not defensive like Mayweather. GGG cuts the ring of verry well, and is always in good Balance and positioning to deliver that power!!! Hes not as fast as Mayweather though, thats easy to see. But then again hes bigger.

His defense is average. I think that's his biggest flaw and could hurt him should he move up. But he's extremely skilled offensively.

Carl Froch has already said himself that he is avoiding GGG because he punches like a mule.

That was a typical Froch tongue in cheek comment. Carl Froch fears no man.

And he can punch. Really hard. I don't think this kid Monroe bothers him too much, but I'm ready to see him in there with some folks that I know.
