Tbf , its common knowledge that he broke Groves's rib in sparring.
Groves is a powderpuff puncher. With his ego I bet he loved reading that :D
Dunno about Powder puff? Froch must have a serious Glass Jaw. 😉
Or Golovkin is made of granite (he said Groves lacks power not me :))
Sorry mate, I'm always Mis reading your posts. 😉Quote:

GGG would probably beat all the super middleweight champions, now that Ward has left, and it would be good for him to it once he beat Canelo.
yes it looks that wayQuote:

No real weaknesses that I can see. Golovkin may get hit unnecessarily but I think that is more out of choice to land his own punches and he seems to have a solid chin.Quote:

IBF & WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin has said he's "ready" for a unification fight against England's Billy Joe Saunders.
Saunders won the WBO version of the middleweight title against Andy Lee in December 2015, defeating the Irishman by majority decision.
In October 2015, Golovkin beat David Lemieux in an eighth-round stoppage to add the IBF middleweight title to his WBA belt.
The Kazakh fighter's win in New York was his 34th victory in the professional ranks, and could have a fight against WBC belt holder Saul Alvarez on the radar.

GGG needs to move up to 168 imo. I understand that it's not his fault 160 sucks, but it does. James DeGale would give him a good fight, Andre Dirrell probably also has the style to cause him problems. The guy is only easy to hit if you're willing to trade with him, his feet and balance are excellent.
Who would read it if it did not have GGG in the title?Quote:

I get that he's probably responding to a question but its a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. Throw the kid a bone and move on. Once spar came up he went all beef head. I mean at same age and fight count Groves is warring with Carl Froch while Golovkin is feeding on washed up Kassim Ouma? Groves is good boxer, cuts a bit and a big heart from what I've seen.
Kind of a catch 22 for the guy. Name another "elite" middleweight? There is this idea for the last few years that he hasn't fought anyone but he's cleaned out the division and if not for the fact that there is a gaggle of belts, those who hold them would have been forced to fight him or give up their dream of winning a world title. You cant call Alvarez an elite middleweight. He's never fought there.Quote:
