Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia: Golovkin Took A lot of Punishment in Last 2 Fights

[chubuk7]

He's right to a certain extent. I'm ok with the draw and thought Canelo landed the harder shots. I think Canelo wins the rematch rather easy. GGG only knows how to rush and land his big shots; Canelo knows everything he posses now and should win an easy decision

So sad that the judges made this fight so controversial and Golovkin was robbed.
IMHO, Canelo lost but only because he gassed out. If he improves his cardio, he has a chance to win the rematch.

You and your 36 minutes. I've made important decisions in five minutes before. If what you see is unacceptable then you can make a decision in 5 mins - much less 36 minutes - 36 mins is actually slow.

come on man, you take longer than that to order a pizza

fight negotiations take WEEKS/MONTHS

not 36 minutes

"The only way you respond in 36 minutes is if you had no intention of ever fighting this guy. That's what 36 minutes tells you. Because if they did had a desire to fight Andre..... they would have responded with 'thank you for your offer, we're going to discuss this with our fighter and get back to you.' That's typically how it's done. You don't respond in 36 minutes."

Golovkin ducking Mora - come on man - do yourself a favor - nobody EVER ducked Mora - he is non-duckworthy.

rubbishing an ex-champ who has better wins than Golovkin, would only work if GGG rejected him to fight someone better..... but he rejected that fight on HBO to fight someone worse for less money

come now, you should know better than that..... the best possible opponent for a fighter who is attempting to establish himself on the world stage is an ex-champ who has clearly faded.....

.....oh, just so long as that ex-champ is not a known mover/spoiler who is notoriously difficult to look good against

btw, I did not say that Golovkin ducked Mora, I said he avoided that fight..... because it was an unnecessary risk, and there were easier fools to KTFO..... risk/reward baby

As for Lara - why would anyone think that G wouldn't catch up with him eventually and nail him.

another known mover/spoiler who is notoriously difficult to look good against

wow, what a coincidence

Lara would have given Golovkin fits

Team Bullshht said that Willie Monroe was a bigger draw

Lara was an unnecessary risk, and there were easier fools to KO..... risk/reward baby

He was irrelevant at 154 - still is largely - and has had years to come up to 160 and never has

he fought the JMW Rosado, and the welter Brook..... so that is another excuse that does not work

Canelo wasn't too scared to fight Lara

they are taking the fights they want, and passing on the rest..... just like everyone else

that is why they were only willing to offer Saunders 1.5mil for "Gennady's "dream", and yet Kell Brook made 4-5mil

risk/reward baby

at least Charlo has walked the talk - why not Lara?

when ?

has Golovkin agreed to fight him ?

[aboutfkntime]

that earlier poster was right, the Ouma fight was pretty brutal

Gennady looked like a bobble-head doll until he broke Ouma down, he took a LOT of punches in that fight

[rrayvez]

There's a misconception that he took great punishment just because he went 12 rounds 2 fights in a row. They were competitive fights but I didn't see jacobs or Canelo landing any consistent big shots that would've ko'd the average mw. They tried to move and box around him, pot shot and flurry.

[Kali_KO]

Duh, he has. G has fought real opponents his last three fights. That's what happens when he isn't facing nobodies. Everyone wanted to jump on his hype train for ko'ing a bunch of bums. Saunders has been beating the same people rather easily too.

The only reason G was ever ranked so high on any p4p list is because he ducked anyone and everyone halfway decent his entire career until Jacobs. Everyone knows that. As soon as he fought real opponents he hasn't looked so good. He very easily could have two losses in his last two fights. That is what is wrong with boxing "fans". They put someone at the top of the p4p list for fighting complete bums. Just look now. Who has Crawford ever beat? Postol? Diaz??? Those are not opponents that should get anyone ranked p4p. It seems now the way to get a high ranking is to avoid any and all challenges. I still believe resume means a lot, and ko'ing a cab driver doesn't mean squat. A ko or a decision, a win is a win. People get too caught up in the media hype and in ko's. These so-called fans want to put fighters at the top for never fighting anyone good. Look how many were riding G's jockstrap until he fought Jacobs. There were five stories on here everyday about G. Then he fought a real opponent and many had him losing. Now G has been proven to be a good fighter, but not any all-time great. Idiots wanted to compare him to Hagler and B-hop. G isn't even close to those guys.

GGG had the most dominant run in recent boxing history with 23 KOs in a row against a variety of different styles, that less dominant fighters would have gone decision with, like BJS vs Lemieux.

GGG is so high on experts PFP list because they know when top Middleweights running away. GGG was mandatory for WBA title and Sturm for over 2 yrs. Sturm did everything he could to avoid that fight because he knew he would get KOd

GGG was supposed to fight Pirog in his HBO debut, the guy that KOd Jacobs. Pirog gets injured and pulls out of the fight, promoter of Pirog finds European Champion with completely different style 3 weeks before fight and GGG still KOs him

Only reason he fought Wade because Tureano got injured and pulled out and IBF made him fight Wade or get stripped.

Nobody dominated Macklin, Geale, Murray, Lemieux the way GGG did.

Macklin dropped Sergio Martinez just one year before GGG had highlight KO with that body shot

Lou DiBella wouldn’t let Sergio Martinez get anywhere near GGG when he was WBC Champion because Lou knew he would get KOd.

The only reason GGG fought Brook was because BJS wanted no part of him when GGG was going to fight him in UK. Then Eubank Jr said the same thing because Sr knew his son would get KOd. Brook showed more balls than those top Middleweights

Rosado was #1 contender at 154 when he moved up to fight GGG and never fought at 154 again, false narrative

Quillin wanted no part of GGG when he was WBO Champion, otherwise GGG would have had that title too. Schaefer knew Quillin would get KOd and prevented that fight from happening

Geale dropped the WBA belt when he was Champion instead of fighting GGG because he knew he would get KOd, like he did when he actually got in the ring with him.

Canelo knew he would lose worse than he did in Sept when he gave up the WBC title. He is the first “Mexican” Champion to ever vacate the WBC title. Canelo and his team only fought this year because of Jacobs went 12 rounds, even though he got dropped and clearly lost.

I can go on and on with any specific examples you come up with, nobody has been more avoided than GGG as they knew what the result would be. Not a dancing points victory like Floyd or holding like Ward, but a devastating KO loss

Clearly you are a casual fan and don’t know **** about boxing

[MisanthropicNY]

GGG took a lot of punishment? Really?

If GGG took a lot of punishment... then Danny should clearly retire because he's been beaten half to death by comparison...

I think Saunders schools GGG or Canelo anyway...

Saunders schooling of Lemieux is the only reason we're going to see GGG v. Canelo 2 - no way either one wants to risk getting schooled by Saunders for way less money...

Canelo is a much easier fight for GGG than Saunders...

Saunders schools Canelo or GGG as far as I'm concerned. His skill-level is way above both and both would miss all night and be countered into frustration... GGG obviously has the better shot because he has a jab and cut off the ring, but especially at his age now - I'm taking Saunders over GGG or Canelo...

[greeneye99]

I don't believe GGG ducked 'everyone' until Jacobs. How can that be true for a guy who fought 3-4 times a year, collects four belts, fights contenders, gatekeepers, titlists, and multiple titlists (Daniel Geale) before fighting Jacobs?

And let's please not forget the WBC and Canelo 'marination' BS.

At the very most I would believe Golovkin may have picked opponents who he felt confident in beating, rather than 'no way I'm gonna fight that guy.'

This is simply tall poppy syndrome.

Not picking a fight, just simply disagreeing. Cheers.

Lol First time i ever read the Triple G ducked any boxer a guy that tried to fight everyone ranked in his weight class and also collected nearly all the belts

[greeneye99]

lil'G ducked Ward TWICE in 2015.... 164 doe.... 36 minutes doe

that is why he is called lil'G

Golovkin also avoided Mora, Lara.... ducked Ward, Cotto, Canelo at 155..... and was in no hurry whatsoever to fight Jacobs/Saunders

Get your Facts straight bro...Which weight class is 155 fool? Canelo vacated the belt to avoid GGG Lara fights @ 154 Cotto also avoided Canelo

[Stfu]

based on the fact that canelo was still bruised 3 days after the fight,when he was doing interviews,and that d jacobs got dropped and had to wear big ass sunglasses to hide his face,we can safely say GGGs opponents took way more punishment
