Comments Thread For: Nacho: Golovkin Wasn't in Condition, He Lacked a Corner - Not Age

[whoseyourdaddy]

I’m curious how Nacho would do with GGG, honestly. He has always been a teacher of the game. Not saying Banks isn’t coming from the great Kronk gym and under legendary late trainer Stewart. But I believe Nacho is on a higher level than Banks.

You think??? Nacho happens to be a HOF with so many world champions in his stable Banks is not close to the level of Abel Sanchez, let alone the great Nacho main-man Beristain. I know nacho is and will always be way higher than JB.

Yeah, Canelo is a small fighter but he's going up to 175 to fight Kovalev next. And don't give me that, "Canelo is only 5ft 8in!". He has a huge frame for his height. Let's just see what he weighs in at vs Kovalev. If he weighs in just below the 175 lb limit, we'll know he is very comfortable at that weight. He was juicing to get down as low as 155 to take advantage of guys like little old Cotto. This has been proven. Canelo is a great boxer and I give him massive credit for challenging Kovalev but he was never a small middleweight.

Canelo started at 140 lbs, out of all the middle weights right now all started at 154 or 160, yet Some dumb ässes love to ignore that important fact. GGG struggle to make weight this time around because he decided to eternally stay at 160, cherrypicking smaller boxers, but Canelo beat the invincible bully and now we have butt hurt people like the one I’m responding to pretending GGG is a small middle weight, which is not.

Give some props to Dervy, you don't just look for what was wrong with GGG. Dervy did what everyone assumed was right thing to do fighting Golovkin. He put a lot of pressure on him, stayed inside, threw combos targeting body a lot. I mean Canelo also did a lot of those but was more cautious and defensive. Dervy is a hell of a fighter and would give similar war to Canelo as well.

I 100% agree, Derv would give Canelo fits....Canel would have a very difficult fight against him also...maybe that's a fight they should make

I wasn't impressed by anything Derevyanchenko did, not a single thing. This guy is a bum. GGG made him look like a killer.

We know you are a bum of posting here, pal. You keep writing how Gervonta is a HOF while Loma is ducking him and now here.
Did some ukrainian guy stole your girls or something?

Should have at least stayed with a trainer that focuses on inside and mid range.

Trying to switch to outside and completely changing his style at this stage of his career is a huge mistake.

I think he looked more confused like he didn't know what to do. Like NB said, he turned on when he got cracked and his instinct took over.

GGG has always been an outside fighter. His weakness is inside fighting which is why sergey did such a good job. GGG likes distance and length on his punches. Sergey smothered him.

Golovkin didnt struggle with Canelo in fight one, but he is very one paced and always succeptable to being outworked by a high energy fighter with decent durability. He waits until your flurry is over, he doesn't punch with you. When the other guy doesn't stop, Golovkin doesnt start.

Not true. He does punch in between your punches and counter you too.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

GGG's prime is filled with a whos who of "bums" .

Yes GGG is a quality fighter but every time he has "stepped up " to a quality fighter like a Derevyanchenko he has been found wanting.

Put a fighter like a Kell Brooks against him this past weekend and he would have looked like the "killer" of old and no one would have been talking about his age.

This is the same Derevyanchenko that GGG AVOIDED and DROPPED his IBF belt so he could fight the safe , "retired" and undersized Vanes Martirosyan for crying out loud!!!

GGG should be thankful they GAVE him the decision.

GGG will always be in his prime even at 40. He's just entering his prime at 37.

And your point is?

That's my opinion.

I never said GGG is a bum, however. I said he was too old. Some wasted time. I'm fine with his retirement tour.

Maybe you are new to boxing. Why so angry?

Loma isn't ducking Davis, but he has a different priority (belts). Belt chasing may end up the way of GGG. Loma isn't a spring chicken, either.

Never get personal with unknown people on a forum. It's a waste of energy and shows weakness.
