GGG - straight up and down, no special effects, basic fighter

[HanzGruber]

In other words you just cherrypick whichever suits your agenda. I see.

wtf is cherrypicking? Ruslan moved up and fought a pfp fighter, golovkin was terrified to do so.

Then why wont floyd fight him? Simple, right? If he is not special, why not fight him? Hehe. At 154, the weight he fought Cotto at.

Yep, that's the biggest inconsistency with these folks many of us normal folks are bashing our heads on. GGG is basic, yet he's constantly asked to fight Andre Ward, #2 p4p at SOG's weight.

Question was why Ward?

[HanzGruber]

Question was why Ward?

what other pfp fighter was there to move up to 168 and fight?

[al-Xander]

what other pfp fighter was there to move up to 168 and fight?

Exactly, so what significance does it do with your personal life that he has to do what you want him to do?

If Mayweather came out of retirement and fought the 179 pound in the ring Jacobs that GGG just beat I believe Jacobs would KO Mayweather with no problems. Jacobs is a highly skilled boxer and a murderous puncher. GGG having to settle for a close ud over Jacobs doesn't suddenly turn him into a mediocre fighter. Jacobs isn't a Berto type fighter. Jacobs is damn good and GGG is better.

Floyd without his reflexes would still be a pretty damn good fighter. We've seen him without them for the last 5 years or so. Even without reflexes, Floyd was a master boxer. That's why he's great afterall. There's been numerous boxers with great reflexes that have never sniffed Floyd's success.

Floyd still has his reflexes - To say he's been without them for five years is dumb. We saw them on high display just a few years ago against Canelo.

nobody is talking about GGG-Floyd cuse Floyd is 40 yo retired WW ,so it would be embarrasing for Jacobs to not beat Floyd as big MW ,Jacobs cant make 154 doe and that would be only weight this fight would happen

Golovkin is still a good fighter. He has great footwork and a lot of variation in his offense. As we saw Saturday he can be bothered by movement. Also the southpaw stance can cause him problems. Yes he has flaws but he's still a good fighter. Definitely not basic.
