Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Banks Teaching Me New Skills, I Believe in His Methods

[jdp28tx]

Banks is a joke fighter and even more of a joke as a trainer. The only reason GGG shows him is because Banks works cheap.

Any one of us could get GGG ready for Rolls

''Don't die on the way to the ring.''

After GGG loses in the 3rd Nelo fight even more clearly, I will be curious as to what he says.

[jdp28tx]

I agree with a previous poster that this is a bit too late. I have been ****ing on for years that Golovkin needed a new trainer as he's completely lost the ability to throw body shots - a crucial tool for any power punchers toolbox.

Under Sanchez, Golovkin became too predictable and again - against Canelo I was stunned that Golovkin did not work the body almost not at all - I suppose we will see in the near future if Banks can remind Golovkin of this terrible rookie mistake and at least make him a threat for the last couple of years of his career.

His only hope against Canelo in a third fight would be an away match where the judges aren't home cooking, or he learns to break Canelo down with such effective bodywork he takes him out.

Both scenarios are highly unlikely.

I see the GGG myth that he was a devastating body puncher lives. Just because he had one or 2 ko's from body shots did not make GGG a great body puncher. He has always gone to the body sparingly and his reputation as a body puncher is not deserved. He has always been a head hunter with ko power. He never wore down fighters to the body and then knocked them out. Yes he had a few ko's to the body, but that does not mean he was Chavez Sr.

Canelo used to be widely criticized for his poor opponent selection

by idiot casual fans I am talking about

same with Chavez

I remember clearly, they were both bashed incessantly on this site

Canelo was 19/20 at the time

" he will never step up "..... and..... " he will never win a title "

fans said that repeatedly, and continually..... about Canelo and Chavez

THAT, is why breadman said that he simply cannot read some of the horrible rubbish on internet forums

FACT: they have done a SUPERB job building Canelo..... despite the fact that everyone who mattered said that it was too early for Mayweather, I see why they took that fight

that opportunity was HUGE, and it may have disappeared..... like Golovkin's opportunities disappeared when Team Bullshlt fcuked up fights with Cotto/Ward/Canelo/etc..... and, we can see how Canelo has developed since that baptism of fire.....

he looks better every single fight, continually showing more angles to his game

so, with Golovkin..... and the situation with his trainer/development..... a few things.....

how/what did he develop under Sanchez ?

how did the scrubs and no-hopers that they feasted on YEARS..... prepare Golovkin for Canelo and Jacobs?

how will banks help Golovkin, when they select opponents like Rolls?

I like what I am hearing from Banks regarding training. Getting rid of the bigger sparring partners and having Middleweights as primary sparring makes sense. Didn't like the videos coming out of Sanchez's gym where G was only firing power shots. Never liked his mantra "We don't adjust to our opponent. We force them to adjust to us". Should have done this a couole of years ago. Don't expect a big change in how he fights when things don't go as planned. He may revert back. Anyway I like how Banks handles the press. He seems grounded and humble. Classy guy.

This just shows you haven't watched many G fights. If you did, you would know how much he used to go to the body. He also has more than "one or 2 ko's from body shots" which shows further that you haven't followed his career.

Very nice but if it was all about new skills you wouldn’t have wanted Sanchez back at ANY price and Sanchez wanted body work and aggression in rematch ggg fought banks style in rematch jab box etc.

GGG just didn't do what Abel wanted. Maybe Abel's plan/strategy wasn't the best, but GGG was able to fight every other professional in that manner. So you can't blame Abel for assuming his fighter could do that.

Maybe stepping up in competition before 35-36 years old would've helped them better prepare for having to dig deep?

Very good post

Banks already taught ggg everything he knows....,about being a greedy bastard & changing fees whenever he feels like. My atm fee just got changed

Wow really creative and insightful. I've got one. You are an ass hole.

Yeah I'm at a loss for GGG's entire career. There's definitely some quality tools there, but poor decision after poor decision. It's indefensible. A GGG's fan best claim to fame is that GGG might have won the 1st Canelo fight. That's literally the best case for GGG.

Fighting Rolls is yet another poor decision. Truthfully I don't see the 3rd Canelo fight happening until at least May, 2020.

GGG should fight Rolls and then fight one of Andrade/Jaobs/Dervenchenko/Saunders this Fall or Winter setting up a potential May, 2020 Canelo trilogy.

Sadly I don't see Charlo getting any of those fights for the SAME reason Spence/Manny/Keith/Shawn/Danny won't fight Terrence Crawford.

Business, business, business.

The difference is Terrence Crawford is probably #1 fighter in the world PFP and he could have some good fights with those WW's. I'd favor Terrence to sweep that bunch actually.

Charlo is a good fighter, but most recognize he's not beating all/most of the DAZN MW's. Canelo and Saunders UD Charlo. GGG probably stops Charlo (Charlo could win an upset here though). Danny beat Charlo...he does well with straight up and down fighters (which Charlo is). Dervenchenko would be interesting although Sergeiy would have to work to get inside. Andrade and Charlo would be fun
