Comments Thread For: David Benavidez: Golovkin Not Slowing Down, A lot of Years Left

[Lester Tutor]

I admire his respect for his elders. You know its funny to think that Golovkin is old enough to be this kids father, I mean Gennady is fifteen years his senior...but thats not even the real problem if they ever fight ; the real problem is that by the time David moves up to LHW Golovkin will still be at 160.

lol.

Of course, his opposition got better. It also influences to look worse. But it is fact that GGG is 35 already. Age also affects. Wade was not elite boxer. But against Wade GGG looked very slow and vulnerable, he was not fast as against Macklin and Curtis.

Yes he was. Macklin and Curtis are just slower than Wade who is more of a pure boxer/mover. The disparity just made GGG look slower.
I don't know how he looked vulnerable against Wade. GGG was always a come forward pressure fighter, with solid boxing IQ, a stiff accurate jab and precise power punching. He was never a guy who focused on utilizing footwork to evade opponents.

I think we can all agree GGG maxed out at 160 : we can only appreciate his campaign at jr. middleweight -- I mean welterweight, my favorite fight at that weight was with the UNDEFEATED primed Kell Brook.



You can tell hes been training with Golovkin because his defense is terrible.

he called out bhop at the full 175 in 2013 and weve all seen Abel say ggg would move to 175 if his popularity grew (dontaes bıoxing nation interview).

lil'g fanboys have no clue about weights. Lil'G was around 190 beer belly in the pre Nelo press conferences. GGG could easily fight at 160-175. lil'G fanboys just need to know that LilG wont need to drain anymore and just build mass comfortably. I reckon GGG would look beast mode ripped lilke Arthur Abraham but 10x better at higher weights.

but lilG fans say, ''you just want him to move up because you want him to lose..'' even though RJJ and Toney did... or Sugar Ray legends..

Wade? This guy wasnt even in traditional championship title preparation as he was under house arrest. Wade was a last minute sub...just like Brook... but we all know Hearn had Brook training regardless behind the scenes hoping he can make publcity stunts to mess up Eubank Sr.s prestige.

Wade was hitting the back with one glove in some timbuktu gym. you can find it all on youtube. the reality is Wade was nowhere near C level Championship preparation since he wasnt training to begin with. thats not normal.

I never said Wade was properly prepared (which wouldn't have mattered anyway), I just made reference to his style. Maybe if he was properly prepared he would've lasted a couple more rounds.

David Benavidez is blind. Just compare how stronng and fast was GGG against Macklin and Curtis, and how he was getting slower since facing Wade.

you should stop assuming that Benavidez/Sanchez are idiots

Wow! I appreciate your research, this hardly mentioned ( if ever ) by GGG fans -- good job.

Of course bro. Btw, Murata is perhaps the most underrated 160 contender atm, not Charlo, or rather they are about the same. I see Murata stopping N’Dam upcoming, but I hope not. After this performance people will start talking about the heat up. Murata vs Charlo I’d like to see. Murata is tough as nails, got that samurai warrior shï like Kamegai but with that Olympian IQ. Murata is a threat. He could even give Jacobs problems with that power

I can't understand how Benavidez and Sanchez don't see that GGG is getting slower and slower. Just watch GGG-Curtis, GGG-Macklin and GGG-Wade. Focus on footwork, handspeed. You will see that in GGG-Wade, Golovkin looks very slow compared to GGG against Curtis or Macklin. Against Curtis or Mackin, GGG looks more athletic.

Try to watch GGG-Wade just after GGG-Curtis or GGG-Macklin. You will see that GGG was more athletic and faster.
