No announcement yet.
So was the opposition that bad or is GGG's power overrated at a high level?

Clearly he is a hard puncher that can't be denied he is a very hard puncher but I expected him to startch Jacobs when he landed and shockingly he didn't really hurt the guy.
Same for Canelo, when he faded and retreated to the ropes I expected GGG to do some serious damage. But that never came. The only thing about the fight that suprised me was that.
Maybe he's not as hard a puncher as I thought.

GGG is still a very hard puncher regardless there is no denying that.

Well I guess Golovkin has 0 power, 0 boxing skills, 0 speed, 0 athleticism and has 0 of everything related to boxing abilities. Yet somehow, the guy is still miraculously undefeated and still is the champion.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostWas he in his mid-30's doing that to guys in headgear? The Brook fight was his first fight with 8+weeks of testing & the WBC program was implemented that same summer. He broke Brook's eye socket but never dropped him. A blown up Brook can withstand punches from a natural MW that natural MW's cant? Spence Broke the other eye socket so that leads me to believe there's something going on with the bone around Brook's eye. Jacobs & Canelo both said the power wasn't what they were expecting. He never hurt either one, and Jacobs supposedly had a glass chin. The KD didn't hurt Jacobs. And if you go back and look at that fight GGG was landing flush on Jacobs. I don't think it's a stretch to assume year round drug testing has something to do with his sudden diminishing power. The one thing about power is it's usually the last thing to go.

Originally posted by turnedup View PostBro so by everyone's admission here he's fought his three best opponents in the past year and change..so none of his lack of knockouts has to do with his opponents and their trainers? These guys aren't the most agile fighters he's faced? All three which have faster hand speed and faster feet? Nothing to do with these guys finding holes in his game and neutralizing him? I hate this defacto run to "he was juicing" the guy has not shown anything to indicate he's juicing beyond knocking the shh out of people. He's not faster, he's not bigger, he's not stronger, he's not cut up, his stamina is still exactly the same...but nothing has to do with it being credit to his opponents being good enough to avoid his traps...No fighter in the world has been lights out in their mid 30s doing @Vada_Testing good food for thought. Props to DJ and GGG for taking it.

no one will talk about the fact that he takes vada, is 30 and has 48 fights. His drop off is exactly where it should be...
