Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr: Gennady Golovkin is The Best Option Right Now

[Hougigo]

I think a lot of fans will end up thinking this and it is expectations like these that will make GGG look bad if he underperforms(but wins). The average prediction for both Stevens and Adama was 3 rounds or less because that was the tone GGG set with the Ishida and Macklin TKO's. 168 is a whole different weight class and Chavez Jr is a whole different size than these guys at 160. This fight won't be easy for GGG by any means and expectations like yours is what will make GGG seem like he got exposed by a big, limited fighter.

People said Golovkin looked horrible even though he smacked Adama around the ring and was clearly cruising
Golovkin gonna look like crap no matter what in this fight

This one goes the distance imo.

Chavez is naturally 30-40 pounds heavier than GGG, he's got a great chin and is generally resilient, so I can't see GGG stopping/KOing him.

I think GGG beats Chavez up for 12 rounds and wins a wide UD.

I think it will be relatively easy. Both will eat shots, it will be fun, but Chavez is going to take a real beating. He's just not that good. I'm not predicting Chavez gets knocked out early, but he will get it bad in this fight.

This guy is what boxing needs!!!! He would fight anyone!!

Ward needs get his promotion sorted because Chavez is the money fight he needs!

Where do people get this idea that Chavez is some kind of cash cow? He has only ever been the B side of a PPV, outside of the BS Latin Fury stuff the bobfather built him on.

Golovkin would take this fight for two reasons:
1) The money;
2) A win to Jr. would be the best incentive in getting the Martinez fight he actually wants -- this in case Martinez wins; because Cotto would never fight Golovkin, of course...

He was clearly the A side of the Martinez PPV. He's one of the biggest draws in the sport, regardless of whether people think he deserves it.

Chavez is naturally 30-40 pounds heavier than GGG...

... Normally 20-25 pounds...
... But I don't see team Golovkin taking this fight without a weight limit in the day of the fight...

In relation to Adama's level, and GGG's hype, yes, I felt GGG looked mediocre at best. Definitely didn't look skilled or anything, he looked very angry and frustrated. The Adama fight really made want to see him in against Ward or Bika, his head would explode of anger. The thing is, anger does not win fights, not in boxing.

I like GGG so much but i don't see him put KO CHAVEZ JR.,that guy is tough and if he comes in shape he will give problems to GGG.Both loves to fight,both hit hard and both get hit.....I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Nope, Chavez walks around at 200+ pounds, GGG walks around at about 170.
