Golovkin is the future of the MW division!

[Fenster]

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.

Exactly my position.

HBO selling him as the second coming, even though he wasn't doing anything special, definitely influences people.

Golovkin is talented. He hits like a mule. However, let's see him beat a Darren Barker or Matthew Macklin to gauge where he is at the moment. A fight with Junior would be good too.

Do we still favor him over Kid Chocolate?

I'm afraid they would take a beating ,Barker Macklin , and Jr,.

It would be good fights, as well as Quillin.

I was going to mention both those guys and I personally believe Darren could beat him. I'm not saying the dude is not good but he's not the juggernaut his followers claim him to be. Perhaps it was the opponent and maybe he kind of put his training on cruise control but he showed all kinds of holes last night that could be exploited.
