All This GGG Hype Needs To Stop!

bno you funny bro

I watched his fight with Lemieux again last night. GGG just beat him up badly. Lemieux was brave as hell, but he got the crap beaten out of him. He landed flush on Golovkin a few times and never even buzzed him. Lemieux can punch as well.

He`s not a one punch knockout merchant, but he hits plenty hard enough and just breaks a guy down. Eubank Jr would be a brutal fight if it ever took place. Jr would give it a good go but does not hit anywhere near hard enough to keep GGG off him, plus he has heart and a great chin himself so it would get really ugly.

I don`t see anyone at the weight getting near him.

After Ray Leonard whipped Hagler, his top Middleweight Challengers were Michael Nunn, Mike McCallum, and Julian Jackson. Ray never fought them and ducked around them. In fact they were the 3 Middleweight Champions (they each won pieces of the splintered Middleweight Title after SRL abandoned it) when Leonard fought Terry Norris (who had been knocked stiff by Jackson a couple fights earlier). That's right. Leonard abandoned the Middleweight Title like Canelo did... Leonard didn't want to fight those killers.[/quote]


SRL never whipped Hagler...was a very close (BS) decision...

GGG couldn't even compete with the likes of Terry Norris, Gerald Mclellan, or Julian Jackson and a definite hell no to Hagler or Hopkins! Roy at 160lbs

would literally tattoo his face something nicely! All of these fighters I've just mentioned would give GGG fits!

You forgot to add in Wilt Chamberlain too!

Where's your time machine...He is the best of this era that's all that matters.

Hagler, McCLellan, Roy, would give anyone fits or just straight beat their ass. Anyone in history. Golovkin could compete with any of them. I would favor these three over him but nobody has an easy night. Either way I wish the whining would stop and the chuds can join us here in the daylight where we enjoy vicious middleweight knockout artists regardless. Tearing golovkin down has become the new Victoria Ortiz it's weird.

He IS... Nobuhiro ishida had never been stopped before and GGG put him into intensive care and destroyed his career with one short right. Talk about knocking somebody dead, Ishida was iced... Marco Rubio was a tough guy who went 12 with Chavez Jr and never hurt. He lasted 4 minutes with GGG and was counted out after a medium shot to the temple.... Matthew Macklin went 11 with Martinez who's a real good puncher and Macklin put Martinez down. A casually delivered liver shot was Nacklin's 1-punch fate. He didn't have a chance of beating the count..

For me its how many stoppages you get. Grzegorz Proksa -- who had never been knocked out before -- takes a barrage of punches, goes down, beats the count, but on unsteady legs so the referee stops it. Then pundits looking for holes in his armor say "he doesn't have one-punch power." The guy was 28-1 and never knocked out before ... and Triple-G wrecks him in 5 rounds. Maybe they never watched his 1-punch KO's. What if the referee lets Proksa continue - then after he's beaten to trash for another round GGG ices him with one shot? Suddenly GGG's a 1-punch KO artist.

Golovkin never puts his all power or even close to it into one punch. Due to that, he never loses balance when he misses.

Great point.

IT WILL IF CANELO DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND HE'LL GET ONE OF HIS BIGGEST PAYDAYS TOO BOOT

McClellan is a strange choice in there, great KO artist, but not sure about his skills. I know he had a victory over Roy in the amateurs, but he looked pretty raw in many respects as a pro, but with devastating KO power.

Golovkin looks the real deal, I think the way he neutralised and dismantled Lemieux was very impressive. Economy of movement and punch, nullified his opponent's own weapons, and broke him down with a ramrod jab. Methodical and brutal.

Just need a fight worthy of his talents now.
