Sparring creates all sorts of rumours

i'm predicting IF golovkin doesn't exceed his career beyond a point...

whatever!

just wanted to say that golovkin's chin (riding the shots by subtle head movemoments, nonetheless it seems he's getting hit FLUSH) is freakin cast iron. nobody drops gennadyi!

the freakin' pound for pound number one 'BEST' boxer in the whole wide world, didn't get as far as make him buckle his knees even ONCE, despite eating shots full on from canelo. he chewd em' up like candy!

GENNADYI RATTLED CANELO COUPLE OF TIMES in both fights.

Golovkin beat canelo twice.

back to back!

nobody puts ggg on his ass. not in the foreseeable future.

dont agree with all the saul comments as i still think saul won the 2nd fight but cant argue the man is granite the word warrior is for men like him , shame he was a little to small for super mid and no one wanted to face him in his prime

I can't say I am an expert, but I would have thought the fact that someone like Joshua fights about 20 rounds a year in the ring and - well I don't know how many, but a much higher number - in sparring, some of the time when he probably won't really be as focused as he ought to be, would make this fairly unsurprising. If Joshua had to fight 10 rounds every day with his last 5 pro opponents I'm sure he would go down a lot of times, although not as many as them.

Yeah, you hear about fighters sparring 2 or 3 fighters at a time, with them swapping between rounds so the opponent is always fresh.
It is easy to imaging a top fighter gassing and getting clipped by a freshly rested sparring partner under these circumstances.

Train over and above what you expect to face.

yea every fighter has gone down in sparring iam sure as its somewhere you try something different and learn ,that it is best not do that with out any repercussions, the only time i would take something seriously in sparring if you kept getting knock down

As a couple of people have already said sparring is where you try out new things and can make mistakes as well as sparring fresh boxers when you are knackered. So it's to be expected and I don't know what the big deal is.
Particularly with AJ where you get the impression he tries to fight exactly to instructions even when it is clearly not intuitive for him.

It would like fans being shocked at seeing a boxer completely exhausted gasping for breath after a mid camp training session and predicting they will lose their fight due to terrible stamina. You go through stuff in training so that you avoid going through it in the fight.
As the saying goes - train hard, fight easy.
