Comments Thread For: Garcia Backs Canelo Over Golovkin, Says Styles Make Fights

[Nomadic]

GGG is no different. Yeah, he could jab and move against Lemieux. But we know Lemieux is a C class bum. GGG is a top fighter. He can do pretty much anything he wants against bums. The thing about him is that we don't know what his ceiling is. I see flaws in him. Like you said, all fighters have them. We just don't know what level of competition makes GGG pay for his flaws because he hasn't fought anybody. Floyd was able to beat the best boxing had to offer for nearly 20yrs. Will GGG be able to duplicate that with the holes I see in his game? I say no. Unless of course he's allowed to continue fighting the level of comp he's feasted on for a decade.

You're going to hurt some feelings with that statement....lol

Every boxer has visible flaws including Floyd (The feint and right overhand right just never really caught up to him in a manner to drop him although it's come quite close more than a few times). Not being capable of boxing and not having had the need to show you can box are two completely different things. I can't express how many times i've implored people to go watch trainers breaking down Golovkin's fight style at length and this belief that he can't box and has no defense being completely false...it is what it is though. You are entitled to your opinion though.

Pretty much this. Also GGG has NEVER had to dig down deep or even change his plans during the fight. Sure he'll make a small adjustment but nothing drastic... Canelo was looking like a fool against Khan until he figured out his timing and then Khan didn't know what hit him.

Now all the GGG fanboys gonna b1tch and moan about Garcia saying their god isn't a boxer. Newsflash, he's not. He's a terrific offensive fighter that has good technique as far as getting his offense off. But beyond that, GGG is basic as hell. He's below average defensively. And he's totally dependant on his power forcing guys to move away from him. He's also slow and robotic at times.

The guy is a good lil fighter, but he's not perfect. And he's not unbeatable. He has very visable flaws if your head isn't stuck up his asscrack. He's very good at what what he does and its gonna take a helluva fighter to beat him. But by no means are the Ray Robinsons, Hank Armstrong, or any other ATG worried about GGG taking their spot. He's dynamic. But far from the indestructible force his supporters like to think he is.

You say GGG isn't a boxer, yet go on to say how hard he is gonna be to defeat, and follow that up by saying that because he won't go down as the most indestrucible force in boxing history, he isn't a good boxer and will never go down as a ATG. :*******:

Oh boo hoo. Someone picked against Golovkin.

[mathed]

GGG will wreck him ,Yes GGG will be in front of him but the same applies to Canelo and we know what will happen then .First knockout loss of Canelo's career after a slugfest.

All I got to say is what would happen to the diva if it was GGG landing those flush 1-2 combos on his face instead of Khan? Lol, lights out baby, it's a wrap.

Manny Pacquiao wasn't a great boxer, but he's an ATG. Roy Jones wasn't a great technical boxer, but he's an ATG. Hawk Pryor wasn't a great technical boxer, but he's an ATG. GGG not being a great technical boxer has nothing to do with how I feel about him. When I watch him, I don't feel like I'm watching a historically great talent. Nothing more, nothing less. He may very well prove me wrong. But as of right now, he doesn't strike me as special.

Didn't see Canelo look like a fool at any point in the Khan fight.

Maybe, maybe not. No guarantees that once GGG lands, the fight is over. What is guaranteed is that compared to Khan, are incredibly slow.

Shocking

i wouldnt say hes not a boxer and is below average defensively. Hes very skillfull the problem is he never had to use it, he never has to fight on the backfoot or defend really well. Most fights if he knows he can take their best shot hes more than happy to take one or two here and there to set his own shots up, which is fine. Against lemiuex you saw him use the jab a lot more to control the range rather took simply walking through shots, he tooke less risks because he knew lemiuex could ****. I think vs canelo he will prove he can box and not just slug
