Comments Thread For: What if Gennady Golovkin Loses?

[aboutfkntime]

You guys who are worried about Lemieux..... you are definitely not the same guys who said that Golovkin could beat Ward, right?

[MDPopescu]

Any chance you can send me some if Golovkin wins ?

The kid was only asking for a fair bet.
You should wait until Ward fights another unranked or retired bloke -- then we'll see...

A couple things, if Lemieux is to win it is likely to be by big knockout. So, seeing Golovkin laid out by a huge punch is more damaging than just getting outboxed, which could somehow be played off as something to do with holding, or bending below the waist or just not standing still so Golovkin can find his range and pummel a dude.

I think a bit higher of Lemieux than most, but tons of dudes though N'Dam was going to give him a boxing lesson. He managed to win that fight on the strength of his knockdown but the scores of that fight did imply he was getting outboxed. Which I didn't really agree with but that case could be made, so that certainly leaves some question marks with his boxing and Golovkin is a more sound boxer than N'Dam.

It will also be pretty funny at least to me.

GGG is there to be hit. and I have a feeling he isnt as good as people think. that being said I think he'll still beat lemiuex.


with a win ggg should move up to 168. 160 isnt a strong division at all. with someone like lemiuex as a legit top 5 for the weight

Catchweights doe.



Catchweight doe?



Catchweight doe.

Canelo whose 10x the star giggi is had to agree to a catch weight
But giggi is A side and ppv mega star though

lets be real....if he loses to a guy like lemieux then his hype would die as quick as matthysse's did. he is waaaaay to old to take a loss like this and comeback. hopkins lost but at least he was when he was still somewhat up & coming, not to mention it was against roy freaking jones jr.

He is only 33yo and I'd say he is a younger 33yo than most fighters reminds me similar to the situation of Adonis Stevenson, both peak in their 30s but they're young still at that age and game not shop worn plus with new medicines etc coming about you often see fighters carrying on strong well into their late 30s.

Time will tell with GGG but I think his style will suit him well in his late 30s without taking too much of a dip.

You could not be more wrong. Manny was caught by a big punch and knocked out cold and it did not have the slightest effect on his career. What hurt him much more was being out boxed by Floyd. ANYONE can get caught by a lucky punch at any time. It means little in the long run when you come back and continue winning and MANY fighters have come back to great careers after losing a fight by getting KTFO. IF you get out boxed, that is an entirely different story as it means that you can lose to any decent fighter with a good defense who can keep from being taken out.

You really aren't too bright, are you? Canelo had no choice because he was not the mandatory defense. Golovkin IS the mandatory defense and NO CONDITIONS may be imposed on a MANDATORY DEFENSE. In other words, the winner of Cotto - Canelo defends against GGG at the full 160. OR they can vacate or be stripped.

You don't think the JMM 4 fight had an effect on Manny's career? I don't agree because his earning power clearly dropped off and it took a good couple years to get that momentum he had back.

A proven great fighter managing to deal with something like that and getting back to his former spot really is kind of an exception not the rule.

If Golovkin gets knocked out I am not going to see you here for two weeks, which I don't really blame you because it would kind of suck. If he just lost a decision I am sure you would be around talking about how unfair something was about the fight.

I think with Ward not many would be scared about him, Ward would need to utilize a dirty game but with that he'd need a referee who is in on the act that likes to constantly separate clinches without warning the instigator of it.

However with Ward all he has is size and height over GGG, I'd say boxing skills, power and overall better ring generalship belong to Golovkin, that and with Ward we know he wouldn't be able to KO GGG now switch over to Lemieux who is a monster puncher he could arguably KO anyone in the MW division the people fear that possibility of one punch with Ward the worst fear is he gets away with clinching for 12 rounds and maybe throwing in a few headbutts or what not.
