    No but it does mean you shouldn't fight so timid when you have the power advantage and are confident you can take the other guys best shot

      But please don't fight Mungia, please! Fight Saunders at least. You know he wants it and it would be a respectable fight for you even if you lost. At least you don't risk getting knocked out. Please someone relay that message to him!!
      Fuck that, this is the fight game! I'm a GGG fan but If he can't take the heat, he needs to GTFO of the kitchen!

        Lol GGG ain't fighting nobody that's a threat unless it's Canelo for a lot of money. Fights like GGG vs Andrade or GGG vs Canelo are no different than those prime for prime fantasy fights y'all like talking about. Not even worth discussing because it'll never happen

          Didn't Charlo get stunned to the body as well against Chenko? Maybe not as obvious as Golovkin but everyone is soft to a well placed body shot.

            They both love the left hook, they share similar stances and guards, and they have many of the same limitations, especially when it comes to reflexes.

            I'd also like to remind you that Korobov is Russian, though he doesn't have a classic Russian style. Are you also insinuating that fighters from different parts don't share stylistic similarities?

              Some are more durable than others and I never said that Charlo couldn't get hurt to the body.

                Yes, but at the same time he is old. I don't have an issue with older fighters taking easier fights, just not garbage ones.

                  People forget how good Korobov was in the amateurs he had dominating wins over Usyk, Danny Jacobs, and Dervychenko.

                    I think the Derevyanchenko fight is a better reference considering it was the most recent and the fighter shares more similarities with GGG. This is also a fighter they both faced, though I like to take triangle theory with a grain of salt.
                    True, but the point I was trying to make was Charlo seems to have turned into this killer, don’t get me wrong as much of a dud that his career has turned into Korobov is quality, but Adam’s? I know Golovkin has slipped, personally I saw first signs of slippage in the Monroe fight but it makes me laugh how Charlo in some people’s eyes will “hurt” GGG, “destroy” GGG yet only two fights ago a 154 guy took him the full 12, a guy who I think even this version of Golovkin stops without breaking a sweat.

                    Charlo v GGG is a better fight than Andrade for either fighter, Andrade hasn’t fought a legit opponent since Culcay who arguably won.

                      Again, I don't really care about past performance against fighters who are nothing like Golovkin. Matt Korobov is much more difficult to find than Golovkin and Adams did a great job at defending against the uppercut. You also want to bring in hypotheticals, when we have footage of Golovkin and Charlo fighting the same guy.

                      I also never said a word about Charlo "destroying" GGG. But he does feel pain, contrarily to what many of his fans seem to believe. He's also 38 years old.
