    Do you consider Golovkin a slick fighter?

    Sometimes i come here to have a good conversation, and i see people bashing Golovkin's resume which isn't that great (but compared to his personal skill level it is nothing to gloat about), but then some go in and start talking about how he isn't defensively responsible and gets hit a lot etc. I saw these two videos online a few weeks back and liked them a lot. do you agree that Golovkin has a great defense as an extremely offensive fighter. I think it would be even harder to land on him if he was a purely defensive fighter like Floyd.





    That's why i also think that no one from 160 and lower can beat GGG. in order to beat him i think you need to be stronger than him. physically try and push him around into close quarters and **** it out.

    agree or disagree?

    He is a stalking offensive fighter so of course he is there to be hit sometimes, but overall he has solid defense...and also a good chin.

      He isn't as slick as Kovalev, but he doesn't tend to get hit flush as much as most come forward stalkers and is consistently in a position to land hard power punches so yeah, why not?

          He's definitely not slick. He's okay defensively, but he's certainly not great and does not have the upper body or head movement to call him slick.

              he can be slick if he wants to, but he's more of an offensive machine. so yeah he'll get hit more than scared slick fighters

                Too pale, doesn't initiate clinches every ten seconds, doesn't throw half a dozen punches a round, so no.

                  that is statistically incorrect. He gets hit very little, where do you get the idea that he gets hit plenty?
