Comments Thread For: Wade: Golovkin is Overrated; Not Superman, Hes Just Basic!

[Outwest Exp 355]

btw, wade looks like a future version of broner

He kind of fights like Broner. They both have hand speed but Wade is more high guard while Broner is more shoulder roll.

I think what Wade must've meant is Golovkin is basically better than him in every way possible.

Whatever he needs to say to pump himself up. We'll be able to tell what he really thinks by the look on his face after he takes the first couple of good shots and realizes GGG's not quite as basic as he'd hoped.

Damn, GGG is fighting guys who can't afford bus fare? K2 and HBO should be ashamed of themselves.

If only Wade was a cab driver.

Dude is poking the bear.

Maybe, but that basic fighter is still going to beat you into the ground.

Basic? A lot of basic base heads here

The only thing basic is those who think GGG is basic.

GGG basic style got him to the top of compustat's p4p list based off of analytics alone. His basic style lands at a higher rate than anyone, even best out Floyd on this measure.

Basic is most people who think anything that isn't running and grappling is basic.

I still hold that GGG is untested and unwarranted hype. But still what wade is saying is silly. GGG has basic form not skills. He obviously uses timing, seen him do it against rosado because rosado was landing shot after shot of him so GGG used better timing to hit him between shots and back him up.

Wade better have a good chin or else he loses. If his defense is good and his chin holds up he can very comfortably outbox GGG, because he is faster and he has just as good if not slightly better boxing skills.

Other than that though, this kid gets stopped in three by body shots as he likes to keep a high guard and doesn't like to use his feet. He likes to catch and shoot. Unfortunately GGG is pitching howitzer shells and Wade ain't catching those.

Why are boxing fans so hypnotized by speed and flash that they automatically equate those attributes with skill? GGG's won over 300 amateur fights where he didn't rely on his power at all. How'd he do that with such limited boxing skills? Wade comfortably outbox GGG? I will say it'll be the opposite right up until GGG ends it.

Let's see what he says after Golovkin beats the spirit out of his body...we always hear a ton of barking about Golovkin yet aside from Ward who has actually legitimately offered to step up? Nobody.
