How to defeat Gennady Golovkin (video)

[just the facts]

Theres a reason why GGG is known as The God of War...

It sure as hell isn't because of his level of competition.

[just the facts]

Agreed, It's fairly nonsensical. Golovkins weakness is combinations and if you have the speed over him you'll likely win the exchanges and that's Canelo's chances, the problem now lies with Canelo's stamina and his footwork, vs Angulo and Kirkland he was pinned to the ropes, that'll be very dangerous vs Golovkin and while Canelo is very difficult to hit clean to the head, on the ropes his body will be open to those vicious body shots Golovkin ***s everyone up with.

Given his lack of quality opposition, it's hard to say what g strings weaknesses are

[just the facts]

GGG murders canelo.

Based on what? That long list of murderous punchers and elite boxers on g strings resume?

[just the facts]

Nobody below 175 can beat GGG

I thought that was a well established fact

g string has avoided every quality opponent below 175 that was willing to fight him. That is well established

Damn they make it look so easy. How can I get a fight with GGG? I got this

This is pretty one-sided. Golovkin has times in his fights where he has been hit. OH MY GOD! He's human!

Back to reality, ALL fighters can be beaten and most will be if they fight long enough. The examples here are pretty weak. In none of these situations did an opponent actually stun or hurt GGG. And let's face it. GGG still crushed them all.

I'm not saying it doesn't make some good points as to how to fight Golovkin. A sharp jab is very key I think as it always is against most punchers and well, most boxers for that matter. It is the most important punch there is. And throwing with fast combinations inside and then getting out before he can retaliate sounds good, too. Anyone who can move and spin and keep the action in ring center is obviously going to give hi a tougher fight as well.

However, the video only shows how to get to GGG in his not so great moments that all fighters have- even the undefeated ones. Adonis Stevenson destroyed his last opponent but the farm landed a few good shots on him that first round. This doesn't negate the fact that he squashed him in the second but it does prove that no fighter looks good all the time.

I would like a second video that shows Ward and Canelo at their not so great moments and how GGG would exploit those weaknesses. Golovkin hit harder than both and I really feel takes a better punch than both. He uses a hard jab as well and doesn't throw a lot until he's in the right position, but he finds that position often and usually to the opponent's disadvantage. Ward loves to clinch which was not shown, but I really don't think that will work here. GGG's relentlessness will drive him to punch Ward's arms which tends to stop a lot of clinching. Canelo hits hard but not as hard and I've seen him wobbled against Jose Miguel Cotto. I haven't seen GGG rattled yet.

The video doesn't come up with a lot, considering how one-sided it is. I know that's why every argument must be made, but I think it's more interesting and fun to look at these potential fights from both sides. GGG is a nightmare for anybody. He has the technique, power, skill and overall attitude to beat any middleweight out there. Can he be beaten? Any of them can be.

The GGG bandwagon has one significant flaw that will riddle them all, but IF Canelo beats Golovkin either UD, Split, KO, TKO or whatever... wait for it....who in the boxing industry or fanbase will say Canelo didn't fight GGG in his prime?!!!! Haha! GGG is close to 35! Who has he fought? What was his prime?!!

Sit on that one.

**** video. Illustrates what one fighter does wrong but doesn't say what he does right. And pretends as if other fighters don't have flaws that can be exploited.

My point exactly. A video like this only works on the ignorant or helps the rabid fan. To the ignorant, I say, watch more boxing and realize they all have weaknesses. There's nothing worse than an idiot who idolizes a fighter as if he's a god or God even though, when you watch what the fighter does in the ring, the flaws are always there. It really can't be helped.
