Golovkin is the future of the MW division!

[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.

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.

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.

Yes Beanz You and I no quilty, you philistines.

[Rantcatrat]

He is all wrong for Sergio. Great champion but GG by KO.

I'm in total agreement with Beanz, I can only see Sergio being badly ko,d , in fact he will make it
look easy.

@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?

Wtf are u on about? 'Falkland islands'

My uncle fought in that conflict so show some fuckin respect. This is boxing not politics.

I didn't mean any disrespect and I apologize if you were disrespected by the comment.

[Rantcatrat]

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.

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.

I predict he will put Sergio on his back.

You may well be right.

But on current form I predict Sergio blasts that big static head all over the shop whilst Max Kellerman is waxing lyrical about Golovkin's "Tyson power"

Sergio will not fight, Golovkin at this point in his career because there is no money in it , and the fight
is far to dangers. Golovkin is not a house hold name, a great fight for the true fan, but the man on the
street Golovkin who is he,! can't see it happening myself.

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
