When asked by his colleague on A Los Golpes about GGG's style, JCC Sr. replied :
"They say he has a similar style to mine but I believe it is very different. I will show you as well as tell you why. When I fought I would always keep my right hand up as I threw my left hooks to the body. Again, my right hand remained on guard. (Demonstrates technique) Now as you can see with GGG, when he throws his hooks he drops his right hand very low and leaves himself open for a counterattack. He goes to the body with his left and leaves himself wide open. However, he throws his right hand very well and with immense power(demonstrates a left body hook and right cross combination). He does throw some great left hands but unfortunately that right hand is dropped too low and it will cause him trouble against a counterpuncher or someone with power."
JCC Sr on Miguel Cotto vs GGG:
"I think Miguel Cotto's skills could pose a threat against GGG and give him problems due to his ability to counter effectively. If GGG goes in with his right hand down I think Cotto is smart enough to counter effectively with a right, left combo and possibly catch him by surprise."(ends segment with combination)
JCC Sr also believes GGG is a fighter whom bases his abilities on his power. A fighter that with all due respect seems very vulnerable in terms of defence. He gets hit a lot and he has been KO'ing a lot lately, but who has he been Ko'ing? What class of rivals has he been pitted against? He needs to fight against boxers whom will pose more of a threat and that will actually connect on him.
He also believes Cotto is better off facing Saul Alvarez due to their clash of styles. He believes Cotto vs GGG is a mismatch in a sense due to GGG's brutal power and Cotto would be running a very high risk against such a powerhouse. Aside from that Cotto is too small and isn't a true Middleweight seeing as how he comes in below 160 in his fights. It's not a fight Cotto should go for, especially seeing as how GGG is in his prime, very powerful and bigger than him and he would be giving up too many advantages.
He said he firmly believes Ward would completely school GGG in a fight due to their styles. Ward is too good and his style is great, hit and don't get hit.
He also said JCC Jr vs Froch has a %99 chance of going down but not until January 2015, most likely in Las Vegas. He really doesn't know why it is so distant from now but he claims JCC Jr will push for a tune up by Septembers end or early October. He also said JCC Jr is in a comfortable weight class and now it's all up to JCC Jr to truly be focused during training and give a good performance.
