Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Trainer: Prime Roy Jones, Toney Would School Golovkin!

[The plunger man]

He is yet to be tested? Your words right. Explain how an untested fighter would not be schooled by the best Middleweights of the 90's? Doesn't make one bit of sense?

Also to claim Jones isn't a power puncher is ridiculous.. You don't put people out like Jones did without being a power puncher.

If you comprehend what I was saying is this...no one has barely won a round yet let alone beat him...that's what I mean by tested gumbo lol....not he hasn't faced anybody......and yes he has faced decent fighters...murrays,lemeuix,macklins are decent middleweights not half famers I'll give you that....when I say not been tested it translates to nobody has even made him change gear ....I hope that enlightens you

how long are you gusy gonna ride that horse....you get no credit for fights not being made...both sides take the blame and no one gets credit...last time I checked no one on this forum is on GGG's team or his matchmaker


If I played devil's advocate I could easily say HBO is milking his contract to hype him up and make him a star and then he will fight better competition.

your opinion on him being ducked and mine on HBO milking his dates is all speculation


what we do know is GGG is the number one contender...holds two trinkets, and has yet to beat anyone to warrant p4p placement or the hype he recieves

GGG would jump at the chance to fight any 160 belt-holder/contender. Making it seem as if Golovkin is avoiding anyone in his weight class is less devil's advocate and more village idiot. Based on how the other "champions" have acted, GGG is clearly THE champ at MW. Whether his hype/P4P status is warranted based on his resume is debatable and I can respect the doubters who want to see him against the best first. I want to see it, too. But, based on his amateur background, his level of skill, and the way he's dominating, I'd say he's more likely a great fighter than just a bum killer. And based on the way other MW champs like Martinez, Sturm, Quillen, Cotto, Saunders, Jacobs, and Canelo have clearly avoided GGG, I'd say they're thinking the same thing.

[The plunger man]

so your calling him number one contender even though everybody considers him the best middleweight in the world and the supposedly champion is refusing to fight at the stipulated weight for middleweights ......now you really are trolling now....it's February now and we only have 7 months till canelo has to face him or gets stripped or are you still going to class canelo as the best even though he chucked in a belt rather than face his number one challenger lol......golovkin beats everybody in his division and his only decent challenge will be Degale at super middleweight .....golovkin needs some big names on his resume I'll give you that and starting from September that's goona be one

Speculation ? canelo has to fight him by September or gets stripped and canelo is refusing 160lb mandatory ..what speculation do you want ? Canelos heart in a plate lol...saunders was offered 4 million to face golovkin and they turned it down and go watch the video on YouTube where saunders openly says he no intention of fighting golovkin...bottom line is golovkin is the best middlweight in the world and he beats everybody in that top 10... That's why he is considered the best middlweight on the planet and not speculation

GGG brutally stops Roy in 3 rounds and beats Toney senseless over 9 rounds before sending his fat ass through the canvas

Spoken like a true golovkin groupie and boxing novice. A prime roy jones would have boxed circles around him and toney was too slick as well he gets outboxed and possibly stopped late by both toney and jones. Im talking a prime jones and a toney who was not weight drained.

This will be very conflicting with the GGG fans, they like Kovalev too, but his trainer has now insulted their god/religion so it's going ot be interesting how this unfolds. I already read GGG fans insulting Kovalev. This is sad, I can't watch this war.

If everyone's afraid of him and hiding from him as you say, then move the **** up or down for better challenges. What's the point of collecting vacated, garbage belts?

Imagine the back and forth convo between GGG and Toney lol
Complete opposite sides of the spectrum.

[RussB23]

Roy jones would outbox him 9-3 , 10-2 type of fight. Cant beleive some ppl are saying GGG stands a chance against prime roy. Based off of what? beating rosado ,martin murray and lemieux?

[Irony123]

GGG's inside game is terrible, which was highlighted in the Monroe fight. Let me guess, he was letting Monroe hit him to give "big drama show."

i don't know why you guys keep propitiating this myth of golovkin getting tagged a lot. In the Monroe fight Golovkin landed 49% of his punches on Monroe... do you expect a fighter to not get hit when they engage as much as golovkin does? Monroe landed a 29% of his punches based on compubox... now i don't count these myself so i dont know how accurate that is but that's pretty damn good defense against a slick southpaw with fast hands where you are the aggressor.

if you can just tell me of one guy who can land 49% of his punchs and only get hit by less than 30% against a fast southpaw then please go ahead, i'll wait.

These fantasy matchups are ******, you can't truly compare them. I don't know why everyone is trying to so hard to make a case here.
