    Vanes was a better Olympian than Andre Ward. Is GGG the best ever?

    The great Martirosyan (best American on the 2004 Olympic squad) couldn't even last two rounds with this monster.

    What hope would anyone else in boxing history have of beating him?

    Noones saying it's an amazing win but he knocked a guy out in 2 who gave Lara Charlo and Andrade fits. 3 fighters who all came from154 and who people didn't think the size difference would stop them from exposing ggg

        Professional and sharp performance, but the short notice + long layoff + step up in weight by Vanes heavily limits the credit he can take from it. He ended it too quickly imo, if he carried him another three or four rounds at least the fans might be able to feel like they got their money's worth.

              Indeed.

              Now that he's back to fighting top competition, real men who don't run, we see what an all-time great KO machine he is.

                umm boxers have a right to fight on the backfoot, its called boxing. most good ones do it all the time.

                If they dont do it when its called for, they are crap-middling/green boxer, or simply cant master that art.

                Vanes isnt top comp, but hes a fair challenger. Plus 2nd round KO is a good result 3G.

                  he didnt give Lara fits, it was stopped on TD.

                  Maybe Andrade but hes never been much good.

                  Charlo fights usually go to decisions, theres no difference in vanes reslt than most of charlos.

                    There is a big difference cause most people thought the Charlo fight could have gone either way lol.
