GGG vs Derevyanchenko face off video
Posted: 23 Aug 2019, 01:44
Mad fight for boxing fans. G is fighting the best in his division.
Derev looks better, than David Lemieux, Martin Murray and Matthew Macklin, and this is also a factor in addition to Golovkin's age. But for the moment Golovkin is more, than just still there, so I pick GGG to win.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑23 Aug 2019, 03:48 Sergiy Derevyanchenko’s current status in the sport is probably on a par with the likes of David Lemieux, Martin Murray and Matthew Macklin at the time they fought GGG.
All of those guys were rated just outside the top five of the middleweight division when they faced Golovkin.
The difference now though, is that Gennadiy is on the cusp of turning 38 years of age and he’s on the decline, which makes Derevyanchenko are far more challenging proposition to overcome than the other aforementioned opponents.

Yup. Derevo is on the same level with Jacobs as their fight suggested.DrDuke wrote: ↑23 Aug 2019, 03:56Derev looks better, than David Lemieux, Martin Murray and Matthew Macklin, and this is also a factor in addition to Golovkin's age.

True, that could have gone either way. EO is just hatin' and trolling to get some attention. I'm surprised he didn't say that Derevo is on a par with Stevens or Rosado. lolboxing_rocks wrote: ↑23 Aug 2019, 12:53 Derevo could get a decision against Jacobs if the fight wasn't in US. He is a top MW. Only Golovkin and Canelo can be confidently put above him.
..to be honest, once Jacobs started playing games with his weight, what I call legal cheating, I don't consider him a MW...apollo creed wrote: ↑23 Aug 2019, 13:21Yup. Derevo is on the same level with Jacobs as their fight suggested.![]()
Indeed, Jacobs had a big advantage in weight.greg wrote: ↑23 Aug 2019, 13:26..to be honest, once Jacobs started playing games with his weight, what I call legal cheating, I don't consider him a MW...apollo creed wrote: ↑23 Aug 2019, 13:21

Golovkin landed clean but Canelo has a strong chin. Anyway in that fight we can see that the youth plays a major factor. There was a solid reason why these fights happened when G was 35 and 36 y/o .

But Canelo could not beat G, even with that huge advantage of his youth. That says a lot about how good G was/is. Imagine a 30 y/o G vs a 28 y/o Canelo. That gingerboy would get whooped big time.greg wrote: ↑24 Aug 2019, 03:58apollo creed wrote: ↑24 Aug 2019, 03:35

good point, some boxing fans keep forgetting that GGG was statistically on the decline when he "lost" to prime Canelo..

Yup. Too much 'wise' advantages for Canelo just to beat an old fighter. That sparring session with G must have been very intimidating for Canelo. I don't know why but I have the feeling that karma is gonna do his job and Canelo would loss against someone younger than him at some point of his career.greg wrote: ↑24 Aug 2019, 04:21you just add a neutral venueapollo creed wrote: ↑24 Aug 2019, 04:14
