NFBT - Boxing - what do people think of Gennady Golovkin
 

Dude is making an early splash with GIF-worthy beatdowns. Is he tin-canning it, or is he at the dawn of a new era in boxing. Does boxing even matter any more.

Hey, it's not an Alex thread, so there's that.

One of the more impressive GIFs, knocks opponent out directly off the opponent's best shot at him

The knock on him is that he has fought a bunch of chumps.

He's also pretty old to be the "dawn of a new era".

We won't know how good he is until he gets a fight against Cotto or Alvarez.

nb4 Marco Antonio Rubio is a good boxer.

Rubio was a good opponent but he's old with a ton of fights under his belt.

You don't buy that good fighters are ducking him?

I think it's too soon to say that. GGG has really only been on the radar for a top tier fight for the last 18 months.

If he doesn't fight Cotto, Chavez (who he would beat the shit out of), or Alvarez by September of next year then yea they're probably ducking him.

I enjoy watching ggg fight but I think he's a little overrated, hes a little basic, but he does have ridiculous power in both hands. I really wanna see him fight ward, or cotto.

Yea, I haven't watched a full fight of his. The boxing analysts that I think are reasonable have all said he will have a lot of trouble against more polished boxers as they think his footwork is extremely sloppy.

Ward would hangle 3g with relative ease IMO. He's too slick

Boxing is rigged.

I don't think his footworks all that either. I also think he fights overly aggressive. the guy is always on kill mode and leaves himself open for counters a lot. I also think ward mops him up. I think cottos slick enough to outbox him, but I do worry about ggg being too big and strong for him . I'd love to see it though.
