Is Golovkin the Real Deal ?

[Master]

Yes he is the real deal, just needs to prove it against better opposition. Macklin is a start and Kid Chocolate/Geale would be next.

GGG they say sparked Quillin, in sparring just hear say or fact.!

That means Quillen will avoid him.

[Rantcatrat]

Macklin is a good test. Macklin is a true top-ten middleweight.

Consider how good Rosado looked against J'Leon Love, and how bad he looked against Golovkin, and Love was supposed to be a good prospect.

I bet Kid Chocolate picks Rosado for his next fight.

Just because they have yet to meet I don't think hes necassarily avoiding him or that hes going out of his way to. Both have put themselves in a much brighter spotlight with maketability and likewise improvements in eachs game.

He is the rebirth of Kostya Tyzsu!

Yes he is that good, a lot of good fighters from Kazakhstan.

[Tam Seddon]

Ola afolabi said he sparred with golovokin and he hurt ola with 16 oz gloves on with lots of shots. He also thinks he will knock out macklin within 6 Rounds and he thinks he's the real deal.

[Silkeyjoe]

Yea he looks the real deal alright. Macklin is a good test. If he blasts him out early he could do it to anyone in the divisoin

[Beanflicker]

Golovkin is realer than Real Deal Holyfield

I totally understand what @Onetime is talking about from purely the boxing perspective.

It cracks me up. People watch the Broner fight and he’s a piece of dog shit because he didn’t iron Paulie out and struggled some but little heed is paid to the style match up. In this one Macklin gets crushed as expected because of a style match up and GGG is the next coming of Christ. Lets be honest here, he had more problems with Rosado because he moved and was but a tad slick.

I watched the British post fight online because Lapdog and gang make me want to hurl and Barker had a confident reserve about him. I’m still convinced Barker could beat him

Last night it looked like he cut the ring off like nobody has since Hagler but he cut off the ring against a guy that never knew how to use one at least defensively.

Ok I broke my self imposed Bronercott but the comparison begged to be made. One guy is much adored going into his last fight and the other despised. Imo many of the conclusions drawn are based on that fact rather then the field of play.

Barker gets stopped as quick as Macklin. No doubt. Apart from him not having any trouble with Rosado, winning every second of every round. If you watch the fight and the post fight interview you can see GGG was sick. And he apologises for not doing better because of that.

Look I know what I saw and stand by my opinion. Barker knows how to use the ring and is much more fundamentally sound then Macklin in every category except leading with his face. He did have more problems with Rosado so I'm not sure what you were watching. Rosado also landed ten times more then Macklin but cant crack a wet paper towel unfortunately but still managed dare I say to buzz this juggernaut in one of the rounds. Look it was a good win for this Kat but he's lucky most in the division are phone booth fighters and not movers. Martinez could be given a 30 foot ring today and he most likely wont win. His legs are going at a rapid pace and as matter of fact he looked like the guy that got old overnight last time out and lost his legs in the Chavez fight long before the hail mary landed. Just as is the case with Broner time will tell. As you mentioned earlier I think Triple G is going to have a hard time getting a meaningful fight.

GGG impressed where Broner disappointed.
