@Greenbeanz and @Dia bando - Perhaps, but first the Argentine will send another fighter from the UK back bloodied and disfigured when he decapitatates Martin Murray in April. For the record, that will mark his third time recently doing so. What does Sergio Martinez have against you guys anyway?Bitter about the Falkland Islands?
Damn I hope this cable guy gets here in time so I can watch GGG back in action. This guy is not the future he is the NOW!! If Golovkin and Martinez got in the ring tomorrow I think Golovkin can take it. He is a precise power punching machine.
I dont think that fight will happen ever much less the next two years, Martinez and his team must k now that GGG is the real deal.
The key is Self-discipline.
I think on rereading that @Rantcatrat was referring to Sergio always fighting Brits. It's because Barker, and Macklin were good opposition. Beatable but quality guys who would give him a fight. No doubting Martinez cajones. Murray will be just as tough but is not as good a boxer as Barker or Macklin so Sergio may stop him early. GG reminds me of an old school guy, like Armstrong or SRR he has tremendous KO power and a great boxing brain.
Golovkin is an excellent fighter but is overrated (imo). He is very heavy handed but not Julian Jackson.
I reckon he'd look bamboozled by Martinez style, and his static head is ripe to be blasted from all angles. I even think a Macklin level guy putting constant pressure on him would give him problems. I see a Kostya Tszyu-Vince Phillips moment for him.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I can only see Martinez on a heap on the floor, Sergio has been on the canvas a good few time's, if he face's
Golovkin will KO him with in 6 rounds , and I feel make it look easy forget the Brit pack he will eat them alive sorry to say it.! Seen many Middle- weight Champions over the years, and I feel Golovkin a bit
special .![]()

You sure are confident about a fighter that took 5 rounds to stop Proksa, 7 rounds to force a corner stoppage against Rosado and went 10 rounds with Ouma.
Surely you accept Martinez is in a different league to those guys? Martinez has the ability to crack shots into his big static head, that's when we'll see how good Golovkin really is.
I too have seen many middleweight champions over the years. He doesn't look anything super special.
We'll see though![]()

What fight were you watching because I seen GR land a few jabs and get battered the rest of the time against a fighter who was ill prior to the bout. He wasn't even 100%.
Proksa and Rosado would have given any of the top 160-pounders a challenge regardless of how highly u rate them! Golovkin beat down two experienced, in-their-prime, well-schooled fighters — fighters who came in to win, didn’t give up, but were beat up, bloodied, and stopped. Give the guy his dues...
Golovkin was lined up for Geale, but Geale went elsewhere (i.e. Mundine).
Golovkin was signed to fight Pirog, but Pirog pulled out with injury.
Golovkin called out Sturm for two years, and Sturm continually went elsewhere (up until Geale beat his ass).
And rumours are around the net that Quillin was soundly beaten up by Golovkin in the gym (the rumour is that Golovkin actually KO’ed him, which is VERY rare for sparring, but reports consistently state that Golovkin spars hard)… and in an interview with Quillin on ESB he didn’t deny it… he just vaguely sidestepped the question.
Yes he needs to fight better competition, but it’s THE COMPETITION that is avoiding him, not the other way around. Does anyone really think Geale would beat a 100% GGG? 2013 is GGG's year.
Can't wait to see Pirog back too.
