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

[MDPopescu]

Yeah I'm not disagreeing, my point was Chavez is naturally the far bigger guy.

I think GGG needs move straight back down to 160 after this fight and stay there for now, he's an average sized middleweight, he shouldn't move up to 168 and risk losing fights until he's achieved everything he can at 160 and convinced everyone that he isn't a 'hypojob'.

I was saying this above: GGG would take the Jr. fight only to secure a future Martinez fight at 160... (The money and the pedigree win asked by Sergio)...
But Jr. isn't an easy fight -- the kid might emerge from lethargy...

GGG does not have bad defense, he is low key slick in person, he does lots of subtle things to make you miss, and when he gets hit, he is letting you hit him from a position that you can' get leverage to open you up for his shots. Everything he does is deliberate. Very smart fighter. He gets hit in the same way Donaire use to take shots to create openings for himself.

GGG is honestly one of the most underrated fighters there is skill wise, which is sad, because he would be at the top of the division even without his power, just based on his skill level.

Best to ignore Kev and anything he writes regarding Golovkin, he's a hater plain and simple.

Are you Cuban? If you are, you can understand the "Soviet school"...

Lol couldnt believe what I was reading!!! bad defence and trading punches with Chavez???? Is he talking about GGG or Carl Froch?

[Ringlife]

This fight makes sense for both fighters right now. I wish this fight was on regular HBO though. I don't feel like paying 70 bucks for one fight especially since Arum doesn't think undercards are important. So I don't expect a great undercard for this event which is the reason I'll pass on paying for this fight.

GGG has the edge, but Chavez is a very live dog if he comes in shape and ready. If he can consistently push GGG back he has a very good chance to win.

60-40 fight right now for me in favor of GGG.

I think a lot of people are just hating! They clearly see he's rocking people and knocking them down with crisp punches not wild haymakers

sounds like Chavez is finally ready to throw away his bag of weed and finally get serious about boxing.

lol what do u think he means by needing 3 months to get ready mentally he needs to know when he needs to quit by lol

I wonder if this fight will show us Golovkin's inside game. He's been able to push his opponents away so far. But Chavez is probably too big and strong to push around.

Seeing as how GGG has the shorter arms and gets good leverage on his shots up close, I think it will benefit Chavez to not fight on the inside as much as he would prefer to.
