So - GGG gets slighted for beating 'bums' like Macklin, Monroe, Brook, Lemieux etc...

[Vodkaholic]

Yeah it's crazy that he is such a light puncher because he seems like such an athletic/strong guy in a way...that fight was a good example imo that just movement and boxing skills were not enough to beat GGG...unless you can punch hard enough to keep him at bay he will find a way to you and put you out.

Interested to see what happens in the Dervy fight...if Dervy comes to fight I think GGG gets a KO...we will see I guess.

Haha for real. You would think monroe has more power.
Man im nervous about that fight. I really hope golovkin wins in great fashion

He got robbed of having his career defining win vs Canelo.

But yeah he shoots himself in the foot fighting guys like Rolls at this atage of his career

"At this stage of his career"? Hes almost 40. Hes earned it. Not his fault BJS and ginger avoided him for a long time. Also charlo is trash and korobov barely made it 10rounds against some nobody. Hes still the guy at 160

Lol stfu. GGG resume is garbage and full of cans. Still doesn’t have one career defining victory.

Resort to name calling = Can't refute.

Canelo is trying to age him even further that's why he is avoiding him like the plague, yet his groupies think he will walking thru Kovalev LOLOLOL.

All canelo really needs to do is just survive and he'll get the decision. Also kovalev at this point isn't exactly the best at 175

I hear ya man...just my 2 cents that fighting a string of Murray, Monroe, Lemieux, mando (Wade), Brook (in UK), Jacobs (in NY), Nelo, Vanes (short notice), Nelo is about a strong a run as any current fighter...and it's not like he was fighting all of those fights in his own backyard...he was on the road or neutral in all of them basically.

And tbh if he got more credit when he beat guys etc I would really want to see him in with someone like Charlo or Andrade...I think those would be intriguing fights...but no one gives him any credit for guys like Lemieux and Monroe and Murray...so even if he fought those 2 guys and stopped them...people would just say they ****** and would pick someone else lol.

But yeah after Dervy (if he wins) hopefully he has a few more 'great' fights...I would like Smith at 168 or maybe Plant...some good options out there.

Charlo is still low reward high risk...I wish he did a little bit more so that fight could be a real 'legacy' fight right now...but right now if they fought and G won people would probably just say Charlo sucks so what's the point in a way...I'd like to see it though as a fan...intriguing fight.

If Dervy comes to fight I can't really see it going 12 rounds if G has 80% of what he ever had...Jacobs and Nelo went 12...and they move better than Dervy...and probably have better skills...if you are standing in front of GGG I still think he puts you out...though Nelo did very well against him last fight holding the center of the ring.

Should be a good fight...if he can't beat Dervy decisively then he is done imo...I thought Dervy lost to Culcay last fight...so if G has anything left and I think he does...then it should be a solid win for him...interested to see what impact Banks has on him...I like the idea of mixing things up, but I still want G to work behind that jab.

Resort to name calling = Can't refute.

Lol right...that's the one thing I'm noticing...you can make a post/thread and you aren't even really calling anyone out or trolling, just making an observation.

And some guys on here get so outraged that they just name call lol...like my thread wasn't even really that deep...just was making a point and instead of many rational responses/rebuttals, you get a lot of name calling lol...oh well that's the internet

[Boxing_1013]

All canelo really needs to do is just survive and he'll get the decision.

That's the sad after effect of bad decisions imo...Canelo getting the favorable calls in the two GGG fights is to be expected since he is the money man.

But I just hate that his bar now is so low that really all he needs to do is go 12 rounds and he wins the fight...just takes the fun out of watching those fights really.

Not high risk at all. I think derevchenko is more of a risk. Charlo got a gift against a last minute average fighter in korobov who hasnt done anything good since getting stopped by andy lee. A fight in which he was a favorite in.

Why does Iran Barkley get so much ****ing hate on here?

He showed some good skills in the Duran fight. He beat Hearns up. He was a solid fighter.

I think Charlo is very limited as a boxer...but physically he may be a tough matchup for GGG...he would presumably have the reflex and quickness advantage...I think he would lose every round basically but if GGG gets old...and Charlo lands a good/lucky punch...well anything could happen.

Skill wise I agree that Dervy is levels above him though...I think anyway lol...that Culcay fight was not good.
