    De La Hoya was correct, GGG can't fight backwards?

    Anybody remember the Curtis Stevens bout when he'd tripple jab GGG backwards ala Bradley style? I saw tge dame thing with Lemieux when he'd double jab him forward, GGG doesn't like this and doesn't know how to laterally move sideways. When Lemieux fought Rosado he always went forward. This is what Lemeiux had going effectively but instead hesitated and couldn't reach within range.

    The only 160 pouncer ala Roy Jones Jr. with a left hook is Quillin. This is the fight that needs to happen. Good 160 bouts to come.

    Don't really know but the triple jab troubles him big time.

      "Fighting Going Backwards" is one of the biggest bull**** phrases in all of boxing. No one is good at fighting going backwards. There are only fighters who are less bad.

      Dumb****s confuses fighting off the back foot with fighting going backwards. You aint going backwards if your back foot is planted.

        How long can you maintain putting pressure on Golovkin before he switches it back on you with a power shot?

        Both Lemieux and Curtis tried to bully Golovkin and ended up getting a beat down.

              Not entirely bs. Fighting off the backfoot something pressure fighters constantly force their opponent to do. Having ring generalship and good footwork to avoid being cut off.

                My point is no counter attack.

                  neither of those guys have good jabs to frank...Both guys are short squat guys as well

                  Lee and Quillin are no ATG but they has good jabs, good length and would force GGG to move laterally and backwards


                  Most people don't realize Many punchers have been troubled with double and triple jabs....The puncher cant get set and has to reset often

                    Lemieux could not do anything. Simply because Golovkin controlled the pace with his jab.
