How long would prime hopkins last against Golovkin?

[MisterPullman]

I made an Alt a year ago and posted 750 times so I could troll you ....okay
Haha sure he does and then he moves up 168 like all those guys....oh wait

Your are a delusional loser, I'm from Dublin Ireland, I'm white , My name is Adam Doyle. But yeah , keep thinking my names Jamal and I'm from Compton if it helps you sleep at night because we both know GGG is a slow handed , slow footed fighter who has beaten nobody and that everyone I named would beat the **** out of him. The fact that you are a groupy of the ogre that likes to punch himself in the face makes sense. Oh and before I get accused of being racist against whites again I think Wilder and Martin are a thousand times worse than Fury..That's just not saying anything.

You are an embarrassment to boxing fans.

It all makes sense!

It's my name, user title, and signature that got you stirred huh you gypsy loving bellend

GGG thrashes all those boxers you named thoroughly. None of them can last past 10, none can KO GGG.. they'd be lucky to survive 12 let alone win a UD

Keep dreaming once again

I know it's a troll thread and common sense says Hopkins should be a pretty heavy favorite, but Golovkin is a whole different animal to Tito and Pavlik. He's an extremely intelligent predator with small little defensive moves to not get timed silly. He's getting hit the most when forcing open battle, not caring too much about the opponent, and those with the most success (Ouma, Murray) checked into the hospital afterwards.

When he's alert, his fights are much cleaner in stats and can still maintain an almost Calzaghe level of punches thrown without a suspect chin and being overly excited and off-balance when flurrying. GGG is obviously not the fastest MW around, but neither was Hopkins. Both however have superb timing, exceptional cutting off the ring, great ring IQ and solid conditioning. One is a great defensive master, the other is a great punches, out of 3 matches GGG wins one, of that I'm solid.

Oh really?

Well then explain to me how Golovkin who has his opponents right where he wants them thanks to his footwork has a worst footwork than Kova?

Kovalev has quicker feet, not better. He's also more precise and fights more economical than GGG. That's what he has over Golovkin in the skillset department.

Get off your high horse.

Yeah, really.

Having faster feet makes your footwork better, trying to brush it off as something seperate is your refusal to admit that you're wrong. They both have great footwork, one of them being able to place his feet to where they need to be, FASTER, obviously has an advantage.

Secondly the terrified cans GGG feasts on make him look better. Lets see him face a crafty ATG boxer like Hopkins or an explosive powerpuncher like Pascal who can crack you from all kinds of angles and still be at the right spots to attack at the right time. See that's another issue you tried to brush off as something seperate and unrelated. Their level of opposition have something to do with how skilled they look.

Lastly, GGG only knows one direction. Kovalev can fight going backwards too. He's better at darting in and out of range, he's far more dynamic and well-rounded and proven against better opponents when it comes to footwork.

Which of the things you mentioned would you like for me to completely educate you on next? You said some exponentially ****** things in this thread so you will need to wire me some cash to my paypal for the next lesson. Let me know.

Kovalev had Hopkins pinned in corners the entire fight , Willie Monroe was able to keep GGG in the centre of the ring and have success. Kovalev is faster and throws straighter and much more powerful punches.

It's no lie that you irish drink a little too much

Your reputation explains the rest

In an actual sanctioned fight? Hopkins UD 12. Wide UD


In sparring? no way hopkins wins, GGG is legendary in sparring. He may have only beat C fighters on video in sanctioned fights, but man behind the scenes in sparring hes a monster. Hopkins gets KTFO and made to quit. Pretty sure GGG destroyed Klitschko in sparring at some point too.

I'm not brushing off anything, and stay by what I said.

Golovkin's great at cutting the ring off, staying ouf of range, his footwork is what wins him his fights, thanks to it he fights at his own pace, and is in full control of everything that's happening in the ring. Again, Kovalev has quicker footwork, not better.

Kovalev gets thrown off balance easily and is open for the left counter. There's a video floating around of him getting dropped in the AMs.

Also, gotta love how you mention Hopkins and Pascal who are good wins, but let's not pretend that Hopkins wasn't 50 and Pascal wasn't shot, as proven by his next fight after Kovalev.

Now before you started menstruating in this thread like you always do, you said Kovalev is much more skilled than Golovkin without explaining why. So please do it now, and I might consider making a small donation to your account as you've probably ran out of tampons.

I respect Hopkins mental toughness and acute smartness of the boxing game. But boy he might be the most overrated champ in the history of boxing. I won't even go into that, the reasons would be too long....

Ggg takes out Hopkins around the 10th round...similar to what ggg did to Murray. Or if not, ggg totally cripples Hopkins in the course of a clear unanimous decision...

Ggg too strong, too powerful hits too hard for a lanky, light punching Hopkins at 160lb...u guys r fooled by Hopkins win over Trinidad n de la Hoya....

GGG would **** him up. See, while all of these American greats were coming to their own 30+ years ago, half of Europe was still oppressed by communist ideology. Now that they are not, the boxing gym has been opened to more eastern and even western Europeans.

GGG and Kovalev would ruin almost every great except a select few in their respective weight classes.

Was prime Hopkins the guy who got outworked 2x by Jermain Taylor?

Yeah cause prime is over 40 years old.

I'd like to see the hardcore Golovkin fans vs the SAT's. I think schoolastic aptitude wins by 1st round KO.

Golovkin fan, Maths masters student reporting in. Suck my ******* haha
