It sure does seem that he became a more viable opponent overnight. There will be something to the first guy that beats him. They might be lining up for that now.

No announcement yet.
The performance against Jacobs, may have helped Golovkin.

Having certain vulnerabilities exposed rarely works out well in the long run. If it's an "off-night", I absolutely agree with you. But, I think we saw age and a long suspected weakness to lateral footwork. I don't think either will be to his advantage, even if BJS and Canelo are finally willing to fight him.
As far as just GETTING the fights though, you're correct. No way BJS was going to fight him otherwise. He even said he wanted 2 tune-ups before Golovkin.

Expect every Golovkin opponent from here on out to circle him and disrupt his ability to cut off the ring.Last edited by Redd Foxx; 03-26-2017, 11:08 PM.

Originally posted by Thraxox View PostI think it is more of a question of power rather than foot work. Flatfooted + Power probably is more difficult fight for GGG than Lateral movement + No power. Somewhat Like Lara, Canelo would probably has more chances to beat Golovkin that Lara has based on power. And Lara is not the guy who would circle, but rather be on that bicycle on the backfoot for Golovkin to hunt him down.
Of course, we can only speculate but I don't believe it will be flat footed power that beats Golovkin, it will be movement.
