Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I'm Not Small Like Canelo's Opponents, I Want KO Win!

You're all over the place. We are talking about movement.


Canelo does not move well and G will find him.

Ggg dont move well going backwards either,hes terrible on the backfoot & doesn't throw back when hit w combos going backward. Canelos defense is very underrated regardless if hes able to run while doing it. Face it those fighters u think have good feet only do because they're forced to as their lighter punchers & dont have a granite chin. Styles don't make fights they make fighters,ggg is a cheap carbon copy of JCC with mediocre defense & zero of JCC head movement. The fighters with great feet are usually never power punchers,even jacobs powers overrated af,but even if its not he has glass chin & is super thin for a mw,canelo has tree trunk legs he plants to generate force on counter combos,jacobs has chicken legs he uses to cancel his glass chin.

I doubt 1 lb was killing him that much?? Again I thought he looked good at 154 and I couldn't imagine either GGG or Jacobs making 154 without looking terribly sick.

Trainers say stuff all the time. GGG's said some BEYOND crazy sht.

End of the day the fights at 160 so why is everyone crying???

Yes it does, there is a reason why he was fighting at 155.

Stop making excuses for him.

[kushking]

Yeah, Jacobs came up in weight to face lil g alright, just like Murray, Geale, and Monroe Jr did.

Murry & Jacobs are his best wins imo but not as good as you ggg fans claim. Murry robbed tiny rosado imo, NOBODY said all of gggs opponents were tiny,but several were esp. Rosado/tiny 5'7stevens/brook & Monroe jr is as featherfist as any fighter ive seen. Monroe jr has a bums resume with 1 of the lowest ko % in all of boxing at 26%. So its irrelevant if hes a mw,hes very skilled BECAUSE his fathers a way better fighter who taught him much but his dad cant buy him power,he couldn't bust a g**** in a food fight,he couldn't punch his way out a wet paper bag with scissors in his hands. geale was kod by cotto in 1 rd more than ggg nuff said.

Maybe, but I'm not sure how much good this does Canelo against Golovkin. Yes, past-prime little Cotto is a better career fighter than anyone who has stepped up to face Golovkin. But so what? Does this mean Golovkin wouldn't whup Cotto bad at 160? Do you think Cotto survives 12 rounds against Golovkin?

Canelo has faced one "better fighter" who totally skunked him, BTW. How does this help him against Golovkin?

And has Canelo ever faced a truly dangerous fighter?

Again, my statement is not about Canelo vs. GGG! It is about GGG's statement, "I'm not small like Canelo's opponents." I take that as throwing shade at Canelo for fighting smaller opponents. Well, GGG was sitting at 160, waiting, hoping, and praying, for Canelo or Cotto, who fought @ 155! He himself said Brook was the best opponent he had faced (before Daniel Jacobs), and that's a Welterweight who moved to Middleweight! I would have more respect for GGG, had he moved up and fought Andre Ward @ 168 (not 164). Floyd moved to 154 for Oscar, and then went back to 147, then went back to 154 for Cotto, then went back to 147, then went back to 152 for Canelo, then went back to 147! That's what I wanted to see GGG do at least for Ward, who was P4P # 2 at the time! I know why he did NOT do it...$$$, but don't come back and say "I am not business man, etc.," trying to throw shade at Canelo for fighting Khan @ 155, then turn around and fight Brook @ 160! Just recently, Abel Sanchez said Charlo, who is the WBC #1 contender hasn't "earned" a right to fight GGG, but GGG fought Dominic Wade, who was the IBF mandatory. What did Wade do to "earn" a shot at the title? Too much hypocrisy from team GGG!

Context,have you heard of it? Ggg is claiming canelo fights lil guys & bums but ggg fought a jmm (lets call him no hoper cause I like rosado but he's hopeless) with 5 losses at middleweight he could've fought him at 155 cw,& Rosado saying that means nothing,thats like brook saying the same,gggs own words"I dont fight cw thats disrespectful to the sport" despite it benefitting his opponents,ggg wasn't ever going to fight anyone below mw & u know it.

Again that's simply not true. Tom Loeffler negotiated the fight for 158 pounds and Sanchez had Golovkin training to reach a target weight of 158.

From above link.
Rosado saying..
"Golovkin is the champion, and out of respect to him and toward the sport of boxing, we will fight at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds," Rosado said. "When I beat him, I don't want any excuses about the extra two pounds he had to lose. I will beat him at his best, fair and square. The old-timers didn't need any catchweights; they were real men. Middleweight champions fight at 160, and that's what I want."

[Gate keeper]

Yeah man Ouma has stayed at 160 since as well as the ever more popular Rosado. If Golovkin is the size of 154 fighters towering over guys like Brook who is a 154 lbs, what does that make Stevens?

Fanboy theorists. These guys went ape shït when pac lost to Floyd

Lol...You are easily GGG's number one fan. You're talking crap about his opponents early in his career before he was name. You could talk craps about any fighters opponents before they were a name including Mayweather's and Canelo's. Please name all these top mw's from that time that GGG could have fought but chose not too?

[Chadlio24]

All these jacka**es who talk about GGG fighting bums his whole career... Who the **** has Canela fought and won??? At least be fair and say neither has really been challenged, the one time Canela has, he lost... Could have lost to Trout and Lara if boxing wasn't rigged!!!

I got a better one for you. They say I hate GGG because he's "white." Yet I'm rooting for Alvarez who looks more Pakistani than Golovkin...

Sanchez did say if WBC orders the fight then they will fight Charlo... Yet Canela won't fight for WBC strap because Charlo is the mandatory... Bottom line, Canela is a B1TCH and anyone with half a brain can recognize that!!!

Your so ******,canelo has said ages ago hell never fight for wbc again,way before charlo sister said hed go to mw let alone bribed humpty dumpty to feed him a 1 legged gimp he had in 2yr retirement waiting 4 ggg to cherrypick,& Sanchez has already said he wont fight him for at least another 16 mos, before that he had a press conference to say he will never rematch Jacobs,& wont defend his undefended vacant titles either. So try again idiot. Few mos ago he was saying Jacobs dont deserve a rematch ever,but now he's saying charlo bum is a bum whos nowhere near jacobs,& for 1st time I actually agree with sanchez,charlos a hypejob whos beat NOBODY to deserve the mandatory 45% that only wbc forces champs to give gifted jr beltholder s.
