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

[Evil Abed]

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.

GGG has 1 inch in reach on Jr.

Jr. 24 and GGG is 25.

Jr, isn't a jab guy... Not a volume guy either...

The volume is why I'm confident Golovkin wins and wins somewhat dominantly. Chavez is not as hard a puncher as people seem to think. He has to beat guys up and wear them down to get stoppages against fighters he has 20 pound advantages on. His power isn't going to bother Golovkin that much, I don't think, and he doesn't throw that much to wear Golovkin down.

Meanwhile, his defense is far too bad to avoid what Golovkin is sending back, and if Chavez struggles with weight like he tends to those body shots will have him soiling himself.

I never encourage speculation based on what I've already seen... That's nice with the future: one can never predict it...
I'll wait at least until I see that they sign the fight and how they sign it...

I'm so hyped for this fight. Guaranteed war.

It would be the biggest payday of his career, but I guarantee Golovkin won't take the fight. Fighting Chavez at 168 would be too much risk when he can continue to fight stiffs and has-beens at 160 and continue to convince naieve fans that he is the greatest puncher since Mile Tyson and everyone is scared of him.

Golovkins team from the looks of it initiated everything, they sent Chavez the stuff, so not sure how you think they're not going to take a fight they're asking for, rofl.

To save a career ending beating Chavez Jr better take some classes from Malik the guy who took the dive in the Wilder fight just don't put your arm down before you hit the ground and learn how to roll your eyes back

A lot of the power talk comes from the Sergio Martinez KD and the Andy Lee KO
