GGG was just terrible, out of prime (what prime lol). Time to step down?

[Scary]

I don't think I've ever known a fighter that got in the ring with GGG...

[FlatLine]

Just stop...Chris Eubank put the kinda guys GGG is fighting out with one punch in the first minute of the first round. GGG has short arms and has to get close unless he's fighting a smaller guy like Lemieux.

GGG basically lets his opponents hit him to lure them into a false sense of security, thinking they're being effective. But all the while he's searching for the right position to land the power punch countershots. He's a clever fighter. He even nods at his opponents to acknowledge being hit and it makes them feel as if they're being effective or gained his respect but it's a strange reverse psychology he uses against them to get them to throw more shots so he has more windows of opportunity to counter. You can see this very clearly in the Wade fight, GGG was letting himself get hit, nodding at Wade when he got tagged so that Wade gets encouraged to throw more shots and creates the right opening for GGG to counter. Clever but could be risky against the wrong guy. Eubank vs GGG would have been a great fight.

Is this what hating has come to? A guy sparks his opponent out in 2 rounds and you're calling for him to retire?

Any mental hospitals around you?

He did what he was suppose to do vs a Weak Opponent

At 34 he really need to get things moving with his career though because he doesn't have Long so wasting time on guys like Wade won't help his Legacy in anyway! He still doesn't have that name on his Resume Yet and he is already 34. If he doesn't get that shot at Canelo I'm not sure how he will get that big name on his resume.

No he doesn't, he just doesn't have the reflexes to get out of the way. Aganst Lemieux he caught all the punches because they were telegraphed and he was the taller,longer fighter against others he gets lit up and just overpowers them. Not saying he's not incredibly effective, but Roberto Duran he is not. Eubank would've flattened him.

He starts with a sharp defence, feels his opponents power, then loosens his guard to create the counterpunching openings. It's quite a common pattern now, watch some of his recent fight again and you'll start to notice it.

Really? Mma fan?

He was 159 flat at the weigh in. He didn't look drained at all. Maybe he is slowly going down for a Canelo catchweight.
