Comments Thread For: Roach: Golovkin-Canelo No Longer a Walkover, Very Competitive

[aboutfkntime]

I know he's unreal isn't he lol.....the man's demolished and systematically broken down almost every fighter he has faced as a pro and champion..he has been avoided by All other middlweights and has an amatuer record that is litterally unequalled by any past great in the middleweight history and we're talking anybody and yet this poster still thinks he's an overrated Eatern European who will get beat as soon as he meet a live contender...and so called lineal WBC middlweight champion is scared to death of facing him at the full middleweight 160lb limit....and yet this fool still talks about how overrated golovkin is lol

Same as last post..... the bold is correct, the rest is rubbish.

I know he's unreal isn't he lol.....the man's demolished and systematically broken down..... nobody relevant

There we go, that's much better.


I can remember back when I was in love.....


Mind you, with me it was a girl SMH

I got cursed out by a GGG fan because I don't think hes #1 P4P.... I think hes a good fighter but unproven and love to watch him fight but I am not required to think hes #1... its safe to say they are the new pacfanatics.... here we go again...

True, but they are mostly the old pacfanatics.

I've always felt it was a competitive fight. GGG isn't as good as people make him out to be. And Canelo is a lot better than GGG's lil fanboys think he is. Its also a good style match-up. And what gets lost is the competition level both have faced. Canelo is a HUGE step up in class for GGG. GGG isn't even the best fighter Canelo has faced.

Its amazing how you say: "GGG is not as good as people make him out to be." but almost every top trainer and boxing expert agree that in their opinion he is that good. When a 7 time trainer of the year along with many other pro boxing awards gives his opinion, I think he carries a bit more weight than you do:

Roach accolades: Think he knows a thing or two about boxing? You can dislike the fighter but at some point you have to believe when the experts mostly agree: he is the best on the planet at this time.

As for the fight itself, I now believe it is going to be tough for both fighters but I doubt it goes anywhere near the distance

Alvarez is one of the goods, not greats. I see something superbly skilled and dynamically entertaining in Golovkin's presence. Based upon Canelo's Saturday night opponent, GGG should administer quite a beating when they collide.

i could be way wrong and maybe i am but by the way ggg talks he almost sounds like he would prefer if canelo just gives him the belt

[The plunger man]

That's a bet. I have it screen shotted. I dont know how to sig bets like some do but we'll damn sure remind each other leading up to the fight.

Sounds like a.plan. Pay me in Tubmans!!!!!! Lol

Alvarez should hope he goes down nice and early and not fight it too much, Golovkin becomes very open after gaining the momentum.

sure....trolling is fun

Well, it's harder to win an olympic gold medal or an amateur world champion gold medal since they award only ONE GOLD MEDAL every 4 years for olympics/every 2 years for world championships.

Also there are 18 pro divisions/14 amateur divisions.

Pro world champions belts are awarded every title fights/6 months.

Plus there are 4 belts/federations WBO/WBC/IBF/WBA, not counting IBO and Ring Mag lineal belts.

Obviously some pro divisions are partly unified but overhall I think a lot more pro belts are awarded.

So the competition is somehow tougher in amateur boxing, it takes probably more boxing talent to get the gold in amateurs.

That's why only the greatest american fighters won those trophies, but the opposite doesn't work (could you imagine Kelly Pavlik winning a gold medal as an amateur?).

Of course, it doesn't mean being a great amateur/technician makes you systematically a great pro boxer, it takes more durability and maturity.

I see more in Alvarez.

He has shown more, against much better opponents.
