Comments Thread For: Loeffler: Banks Was The Only Coach on Golovkin's Short List

It is common sense to use the jab and keep the fight at distance, and control it that way. Less risky.

He has probably slowed down some since then but his fight with Ouma earlier in his career was basically a phone booth fight. Probably my favorite fight of his.

Basically I think he can definitely fight on the inside and there is footage of it, but it is suicidal to make a living on inside fighting. If you stay on the inside too long you are bound to get caught. Have to get in and get out.

Yes, it is better for boxers not to fight at the short distance, but sometimes they have to. In Canelo fight Golovkin lacked this ability.

I think Banks will be somewhat a refreshing addition to GGG team
Banks will probably push his pupil to throw more but I think his decline is due to the fact of getting hit more often than not
He needs to sharpen up his defensive skills especially as his career comes to full swing
Imo he’s been getting hit a little to often

You don’t know Banks do you? Lol he will NOT make ggg throw more that’s not his style he’ll actually make ggg throw a lot less punches.

Banks is all bad for ggg

I don't really recall any prolonged period of inside fighting in either Canelo-GGG fight. Canelo, as the shorter man, basically tries to slip the jab and get inside and get off a combo and get out, and GGG is using the jab to set everything else up for him. Just weren't a ton of moments of fighters sitting on the inside there.

Some of the narratives written on here about certain fights/fighters are head scratching.
