Golovkin is the future of the MW division!

[Fenster]

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.

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

Martinez is no Hagler there again nether is Golovkin, but of the middle weights about now Golovkin is
the best of the bunch, Proska is a very good contender, and no push over, Rosado took a beating to
tough for his own good.Martinez is a good light-middle he is no great middle-weight in my eyes, it's
what you like, he's not to my taste. Golovkin is a better boxer, look at his foot work , the way he cut's off the ring, his punch power that one thing about boxing we can agree to disagree Bud.

I agree Martinez is not a natural middleweight but he's already beat middleweights that rank in a different stratosphere to anyone Golovkin has faced.

Proksa's form doesn't look very good now that Barker destroyed Kerry Hope so easily. Rosado was a light-middleweight that has been ironed out before. For such a "super fighter" he doesn't have the form to back it up, or, to my eye, the super talent many of you think.

The more I think about him the more I see him as overrated. I could be wrong though

[IamInuit]

Last night was very telling. Here you have a fringe contender who cant crack an egg moving up a division and he actually showed kinks in GGG's armour. He connected lots and actually buzzed him a couple of times. If Rosado had a little pop he may have been able to save his legs and stop the corralling. GGG has major issues with lateral movement and movement generally. Excuse me gentleman but the suggestion that he wipes the floor with Martinez is hilarious.

Martinez is a far superior boxer, but I'm not certain his chin would hold up to Golovkin's power.

Its certainly possible. Martinez is not getting any younger and chances are his reflexes will begin to erode as not everyone is Hopkins or Moore. Having said that I don't think GGG has much of a shot with today's version. I think Martinez's movement gives him fits. Then there is the speed and counters coming from the other side that he wont see ala Sanders/Wlad. And lastly the power. If he gets caught half as many times as he did last night by Martinez, I'm afraid the wheels may fall off the applecart. Truth is though I don't think he's on the menu. Martinez will go for the big money fights and is probably going to retire after a couple more

[Beanz]

Don't forget 2 days ago GG was laid up ill in bed.

[IamInuit]

Hmmmmm. Well I never made the much anticipated highlight reel by knocking out a Jr. middle fringe contender so I was sick.

[armin]

Golovkin might be a tad bit overhyped, but shit its not like he lost a round. He's not a stylist he's gona get taged, he knows this he just plans to hit ya harder in return, yeah he did.n't knock rosado out but shit there were three or four moments where rosados whole body moved but he didn't go down surprisingly. A good performance and only a let down due to the immense hype.

[Spicoli]

He needs some work. Way too much is being made too early and while talent-power is obvious he hasn't faced anything remotely close to the neighborhood of a Martinez. I see him a bit one deminsional thus far and the movement he faced in a punch prone Rosado (one out of panic and preservation mostly)...and the movement a Martinez brings (shifting you into your own momentum and countering) is nothing similiar. Rosado showed mass balls but he was also badly hurt in more than a few of his recent fights. Golovkin might...may...coulda...woulda all he wants but you have to deal with what is actually happening. Golovkins defense is apparently his offence largely, that head is prone to left hooks among other things. HBO is determined to put a cape and theme music to him this early but he is no Chavez sr or Tyson, he's a guy who is 30 yrs old and has yet to complete 10 rounds with a strong fan friendly attack and solid potential, but let him walk before he runs.

Well we will have to see if, Sergio faces Golovkin it wont last long he will beat Sergio badly.

And if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his arse when he hopped We'll see. Hey, I hope it does happen. Golovkin has the marketing going but he needs to make a definitive statement with Martinez seeing the Jr rematch on the horizon. Personally I hope that one falls through.

[Beanz]

Martinez is not impossible to hit watch any of his fights and you will see that he can be caught. Golovkin is by no means perfect and can also be caught but his ability to close down the ring and hurt people is better than Sergios IMO. People are talking as though GGG is a hype job invented by the network. The Guy has garnered that attention by Knocking guys out left right and centre and looking classy while doing so. Being from Kazakhstan is not really going to attract a lot of hangers on and neutrals if he was not supplying the goods. The better the fighter you put him in with the more he ups his game. There is no better Middleweight at the moment than Martinez and that is why Golovkin would be in his element. There is little money in it for a guy like Sergio at the end of his career and so he will probably be avoided but Geale and Quillin should be next on GG's radar. They will look like an easy breakfast.

Fan's are overrating him because of his amatuer record not just HBO. He's not the wrecking ball he's being portrayed as, he's busting guys up not icing them, and it's against c/d level competition.

Sergio has beaten 7 middleweights in a row that are superior to anyone Golovkin has ever faced. You may be right that he'll perform better up in class, but that has to be proven.
