GGG has fought the best that would fight him. Miguel Cotto ducked GGG. Sergio Martinez ducked GGG. Canelo ducked GGG. Andre Ward wanted a tuneup fight. Canelo Alvarez says he's not yet a middleweight. Miguel Cotto had zero interest. Floyd Mayweather Sr. says he's way too big for his son. Carl Froch is retiring. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is imploding. He'd be widely acclaimed as one of the world's great fighters, except it's kind of hard to judge him because he's never stood across the ring from another A-level opponent.
He'd get that with Ward. Or Alvarez. Or Cotto. Or one of any of a handful of fighters, none of whom seems too interested in getting into the ring with him.
And merrily, Gennady Golovkin just fights on, scoring brutal knockouts each time out and adding fans by the day. Ward talked a good game but he wanted nothing to do with GGG. Carl Froch turned down big money to fight GGG. While the Mayweather sycophants would undoubtedly say that Golovkin has never seen anyone like Mayweather, the reverse is also true: Mayweather has never faced an opponent as dangerous, and with as many tools, as Golovkin. So that fight will never happen even though GGG would fight at 154 for that fight. GGG would walk right through anything Mayweather threw and beat him down. Mayweather is 49-0 and still a marvel inside the ring, but his once-impregnable defense has been broken down by Maidana. He'd have great difficulty at 38 years old standing up to the punishing onslaught Golovkin would bring. Rest assured, though, that fight will never occur, and not just because of Mayweather's ties to Showtime and Golovkin's to HBO. Mayweather has one of boxing's most astute minds and he knows a Golovkin fight would be extraordinarily difficult for him. The two men are polar opposites of each other in many ways. Mayweather was a master defender, while Golovkin is a crushing puncher who may be the finest offensive machine in boxing since a prime Marvelous Marvin Hagler more than a quarter of a century ago.

Despite his effortless romp through the division, complacency is not a word that features in ‘Battleship Golovkin’s’ vocab.
He consistently conditions himself for 12 brutal rounds away from his family, in Spartan camps 8,000ft above sea level, in Big Bear, California under Abel Sanchez. His dedication and discipline more than match his talent.
Respectful of rival competitors and the sports traditions, ‘Triple G’ constantly remains within 10lbs of his championship weight and fights regularly – 17 defences in under six years.
A proper fighting man, he actively covets all belts and has put himself up for tender – irrespective of location – against all and sundry between 154-168lbs. Nevertheless, Mssrs Mayweather, Alvarez, Froch and Ward were all slow to respond to his invitations over the last two years.

[QUOTE=ScottWeiland;17502630]The is the first opponent since and before facing Lemieux who you could really say has one punch fight ending power, I'm excited it's a step up for GGG and expect him to fight as he fought versus Lemieux, showing him respect working behind and utilising the jab. Clearly he no regard to Brook whatsoever and looked complacent and concerned he may have allowed two rounds to slip on the cards versus the Brit on a Hearn promotion in the backwaters of the UK.
They fought at the O2 in London????

Jacobs doesn't win a round for me, and GGG punishes any and all openings ultimately leading to a stoppage. I expect around the 4th-5th. I'm a fan of boxing skills themselves as opposed to huge kos and GGG has displayed solid fundamentals along the way, the cutting off of the ring and marshalling around the ring leaves me in awe, those years in the unpaid ranks he's really crafted a style and finessed a skill set vastly superior to anyone at the weight. The guy is so multi dimesional it makes me laugh how much he is disliked, I'll attribute it to his fan base, who lets be honest are cringeworthy.
