    Fighter X will "just walk right through" everything fighter Y throws

    I see this talked about all the time and its waaay over hyped. Fact is that its incredibly rare for a fighter to use that as a strategy or to be able to actually do it.

    Chavez jr used to do it with lesser opponents but with better ones he cant take the accurate shots. Margo did it with cotto because he had to.

    I see people saying GGG will just walk through everything canelo throws, which is ridiculous, they are only one division apart and that has never been GGG's style.

    You even have a lot of fights, like maidana-floyd, where people like to think that this "walking through everything" occurred but they arent watching the damn fight, maidana had an awkward style and made floyd miss a ton and came back at him from odd angles. People confuse intelligent pressure with "Walking through everything"

    It's easier to do it against lesser or smaller opponents. That's why Golovkin vs Brook was such a ****ty fight because although Brook was game there was no way he was going to win a slug fest (or street fight) because Golovkin would be able to absorb most of his punches. Same goes for Canelo vs all the WWs he was fighting. Weight class matters and some boxers utilize their size advantage to create this aura of invincibility. If you see a boxer walking through his opponent it should tell you the fight was a mismatch.

        The only fighter that I've seen tried is just Margarito, in the PAcquiao fight (Failed) And the Cotto fight (Succeeded)

                LOL yea that gets thrown around a lot in fights between top 10, top 5 guys. Not many cats in any division are doing that vs the top guys in there division.

                And GGG definitely isn't going to do that with Canelo for a fight specifically mentioned. I think some people are gonna be surprised with what happens in that fight & GGG will be 45 in boxing age by the Sunday morning after the fight by many GGG fanboys & Canelo haters account of what went down. Canelo is gonna make GGG miss & make him pay like GGG has never experienced. Its gonna be a competitive fight whoever ends up winning.

                  Just walking through an opponent is a rather ****** battle plan. GGG and his trainer have a battle plan for every opponent and it's not a simple plan to just go walk through this guy.

                    Golovkin HAS walked right through punches from many of the guys he's faced. However, I agree that it's obvious he's not going to be doing that with Canelo. Sanchez has Golovkin use the jab against guys with power. He's not going to be walking through shyt. This will be a far more conservative and technical fight than what people are expecting.
