HBO/SKY SPORTS - Matthew Macklin v Gennady Golovkin- Saturday Night Fight Chat Thread

[Fenster]

Not sure really. Just saying comparisions with the likes of Abraham and Tyson are way off considering his style is nothing alike. Golovkin winning a fight is not soley based on his power, although it is obviously a big factor.

I disagree with this @Fenster. When he is compared with Abraham, myself and others are only doing this on a power scale at Middleweight to explain that power doesn't always transfer up in weight. This was to discount the comments made that he would blow away certain Super-Middles. From what I have read, everyone accepts he is vastly more skilled than Abraham.

Fair enough, I did understand the comparison was mainly based on power not carrying up. However, Golovkin is so much more skilled than guys like Abraham he wouldn't be so reliant on power anyway. That's all i'm saying. Maybe I'm wrong....
