Comments Thread For: Carson Jones: Golovkin "Held Back" in Sparring Against Canelo

[richardt]

Could be seen both ways....

Old and shot? Lol gtfo! Jacobs made him look bad because jacobs is a solid fighter. Anything to discredit a possible canelo win. Boxing has worst fans i swear.

That's your preparation for the excuse?

I'm not going to lie just to big Canelo up. The point is a few years back it would have been a mismatch. Now GGG is shot and Canelo actually has a chance.

Why would a fan need an excuse for a boxer losing a fight?

These idiots think that everybody who posts here is as childish and infantile as they are.

He told paulie live he's coming in for a knock because of all the **** he talked

dozens of badass boxers have talked crap about this irish circus monkey.... funny how he picked the biggest bum out of them all.... that tells me everything i need to know about this coward....

[TheBigLug]

Although i'm picking GGG, i would never read too much into these stories.

David Price would be HW champ of the world if we were basing things on sparring and hearsay.

GGG is a professional and like many good fighters before him, he understands how to use sparring correctly. it is not about getting one up on someone else, it is about getting in guys hwo can test various aspect of your game.

..... this game is 80% mental, and only 30% physical......

i think conor needed that paulie sparring session to boost his fragile ego.... he has never been in with a real pro and he doesnt have the heart or balls to be in with an actual active pro.... so he did what a typical front runner would do..... he called a retired out of shape guy who has no power....

he has, Chris Van Heerden

and he pulled the same stunt with edited video's

Spoken like a true fanboy!

Guys like you simply don't understand the difference between giving an honest opinion and making excuses ... because for you, there is no difference! You have no honest opinions on boxing .. just fanboy bias and agendas to push.

Hearns was not a "career welterweight". He won his first belt at WW and lost to SRL at a young age, went right to 154 after and beat Wilfred Benitez in a tactical bought. Then he eventually went up to 160 (after destroying Duran) to face the MW king who was still being questioned as a great fighter. The parallels are very obvious here.

I wrote "primarily" a career welterweight. As in most of his fights were at welter which means that was his ideal weight class. 33 fights at welter and 8 at super welterweight before moving up. Just like Trinidad was primarily a welterweight before facing Hopkins despite having some fights at jmw. And if anything, in this scenario, Canelo would be hearns and GGG would be Hagler. Not the other way around as the other poster indicated.
