Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Most Guys are Beaten Mentally When They Face Golovkin

[thack]

Canelo was with it just being mentioned!

[BoZz]

no!!!! all fighters he faces are either b leveled like geale or c leveled like wade or monroe jr or they're welterweights at a catch weight, golovkin hasn't faced a top level fighter we all know it...too bad his fan boys don't care about boxing as long as he knocks out cans, they're like the old ronda fans.

his next fight is against this guy....says it all

[jackblack008]

Monroe, Lemieux and Stevens were not afraid of GGG. They believed he's not that good. But once they felt that power, they checked out. That Stevens's face in the 2 round though lol.

Stevens said he believed he has greater punching power than GGG and will outbox GGG with his power. but that don't happen. To beat GGG you need to fight like Mayweather vs Canelo.

Jacobs is concerned with Golovkin's power so he basically has himself beaten mentally too.

I could find a picture of most good fighters being knocked down. The one man who beat him was a good fighter,Pirog.Hes the next best fighter in the division on proven form. Who would you have Golovkin fight to feel satisfied?

GGG might let you down this time.

GGG is a once in a lifetime fighter. Just because he hasnt faced "ward", Kovalev , people outside of 160 doesnt deflate his resume. **** Danny ****ing garcia is a worse cherry picker snd finally got into a high level match up after 3 years of being a champion. Fighters want Danny garcia, fighters dont want GGG. AS A PAYING CUSTOMER, i prefer undisputed champions rather than see multi division champion with no undisputed "title". because at least we know who the GUY is, not GUYS with belts. People hate on pacquiao for having 8 belts, and wasnt undisputed or lineal champ in 2 of the 8 divisions he ruled. People will ALWAYs hate, wether you go up , or down. So **** them all & reign supreme at 160 till your body says you cant

Weren't eatenmentally as they think they can beat him as he's fought bums and overrated.

[Graz]

If most opponents aren't beaten mentally before facing Golovkin, they are once he cracks them in the brain in the ring.

Exactly This!! It's not mental defeat beforehand but more a case of " .. oooow, shit! how am I going to take this all night?"

Geale was a classic example. He felt the pain and I believe he either knew he couldn't take that power all night or he decided he didn't want to take it. So he changed strategy and decided to try and test Golovkin's chin and get a KO. There was a classic ending - Geale landed hard first as Golovkin was throwing. Golovkin ate the punch, spat it out, and landed his on Geale. Good night Shirley!!

Mind you, I wouldn't recommend he let that happen with Jacobs or he will be on his backside for first time as a professional.
