Who has more skills, Kovalev or Golovkin?

[Weltschmerz]

Not at all. You're the one crying about "white" fighters not getting the credit they deserve. Just like when you cried like a bit ch after ***** talked about civil rights and Muhammad Ali.

I just pointed out the irony from an obviously insecure bigot like you. You're as soft as a marshmallow. That's why I enjoy hurting your feelings.

You're all over the place. Give yourself a break already.

Close.

If you look at some of the things they do in the ring, Golovkin does things that are out of this world imo. the way he sets up traps are better than anyone else in the game imo.

I agree on this. Both of them are obviously favorites of mine, though.

[Butt stuff]

I don't actually. I see them as completely two different fighters. I respect Golovkin's skillset a lot more.

if you don't then why did you ask in a thread how they compare to each other?

[HughJass]

Golovkin reminds me a lot of a rangier Kostya Tszyu. Like Tszyu he walks fighters down in a highly efficient manner and lands shots with shocking precision and timing. Unlike Tszyu he also has a wicked head snapping jab that complements his style and makes him fearsome at range.

Kovalev reminds me more of a harder punching, less sloppy Carl Froch. Very rangy, natural badass, heavy hands, but can be outboxed by faster and smarter opponents at times and can look uncomfortable on the inside.

Golovkin by a hair.

[bojangles1987]

I'm sorry, I can't ignore Golovkin's competition here. Kovalev moves well, counter punches well, throws terrific combos, has a controlling jab, and does all of this while blasting through a lot better opponents.

Golovkin looks the part, but showing skills against his level of competition is much easier than showing skills against Kovalev's level of competition.

arent reluctant hence why they have been going after canelo

Refusing to go to 155 for the biggest money fight available to them is "going after Canelo"?

oh right it was golovkin who stopped that fight happening, not the guy who chucked his belt in the bin lol. Canelo only wanted it at 155 to weaken golovkin. Plus i thought people didnt like catchweight fights?

This question will determine if your opinion as a boxing fan should be respected.

Who has more skills, Ward or Mayweather Jr?... or Bernard Hopkins?

You have a point, and it was bullshyte for Canelo to insist upon 155. But at the same time a Canelo fight would be the biggest money fight out there. They passed. If Leonard/Hearns would have insisted upon 155, think Marvin Hagler would have passed?
