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

[IMDAZED]

I'm not even going to discuss Roy Jones because to put GGG in the same breath as him as blasphemy.

Jackson is just as right on Toney, unless you believe James would have some sort of off-night. Toney wasn't going to get KO'ed. Not a prime version. He had an excellent chin. And I'd say Golovkin's style was tailor made for him. GGG has some weaknesses on the inside and I think a concerted attack to the body might be a serious problem for him but none of his opponents possess that level of skill to even begin to implement that. Toney would wear him down and cruise to a UD. And that's just me hypothesizing on styles. On paper, given their resumes, this is a no contest.

I agree canelo is going to be a handful for him and has all the tools to win this fight be he is going to need to develop a better solid jab. But if this fight is made GGG is going to be in for a rough night. Its a toss up fight in my opinion.

But you've proven time and again you have no clue what you're looking it. Must suck being old enough to catch Hamsho and Roldan and end up not knowing **** about boxing.

...so you assumed that I dont because Im not big on GGG...Im not from Missouri but a fighter has to show me how good they are by beating good or great opposition...he hasnt beat the competition that Jones or Toney did to pr0ove themselves



because I point out his resume is crap besides proven fighters of the past that makes me a racist?...he hasnt been in the ring with anyone near the talent or success of Jones and Toney.

Look at all the inside skill of this fight...I dont think GGG can handle either guy(McCallum)...especially the way Monroe who isnt even ranked with just decent speed touched him up....Toney eats up come forward types, just like Jones does and GGG isnt that hard to hit. I doubt GGG could beat McCallum at 160...(McCallum was dropped once, never stopped and fought good to great punchers like Julian Jackson, Jones, Toney)

look at these guys on the inside and mid range where GGG specializes...as soon as he would miss he would pay







Thank you for pointing out he hasnt faced anyone of their calibre or near it

Good reference. Those guys were master inside fighters and defensively incredible. Toney said McCallum is the best fighter he's ever fought and the only one he truly respects.

I'm a fan of Floyd and even I wouldn't say that he cant be "knocked" cause he beat everyone he faced.

Toney was quite proven when he fought Roy actually, I mean GGG is in a very very weak era of middleweights. If he had been around when Pavlik and Abraham were at middleweight and knocked them out then I would be more inclined to agree with you. I mean tell me why someone like Martin Murray would make it past 6 with Roy? lol.

It's a credit to GGG that JDJ had to mention greats from the past to bring GGG down but he's not that far off with his assessments of how the fights would play out if you're not a GGG fanboy.

Pretty sure Toney was p4p number 1 at that point as well.

I provide facts with emphasis on styles and accomplishments. Unlike yourself and other obsessed GGG groupies who cant see past GGGs weaknesses. Clueless rabid Golovkin zombies who praise an untested fighter, a fighter who has been proven vulnerable when you implement certain things, in the previous three fights. I think Canelo is going to give him trouble if they ever fight. If Canelo can deal with his power it could get real interesting.

Because I don't agree with your lame assessment of Golovkin doesn't dictate that I'm a boxing novice. Quite the contrary your unwillingness to recognize his obvious weaknesses and weak competition but yet elevate him to Godlike status makes you the novice not me.

Hopkins lost every round to kovalev and was completely owned ...kovalev was carried out the ring uncontious against golovkin in sparring ..you do the comparison ...and golovkin is a much smaller fighter .....skill wise golovkin is on the same level as any toney or Hopkins you talk about....34 - 31 kos ....but he all can keep doing is keep winning and you keep making excuses lol.

This doesn't warrant a response. I am shocked!

There would be no ggg if he was in the era of a prime roy jones
