Golovkin has some serious power. Not even full blooded punches seem to turn the legs to jelly. He's a beast.

Golovkin really does get hit a lot, monroe landed some good ones on him, I think ggg has a short shelf life at the top level, these punches will add up and I think he won't be able to compete for a really long time at the top level, he can eat up the lower level guys and walk through their punches but once he really gets to the big leagues i think he could get a few good wins but he will be ko'd. I really like ggg though great boxer to watch.
Golovkin looks like a goofy 14 year old being interviewed by Kellerman.
GGG basically just said he wants a big money fight against anyone smaller than him.
Way to go chump!
Alvarez and Cotto aren't going near this guy no matter how easy he is to hit. He's going to stay on the west coast fighting Monroe-level guys for a while yet.
Cotto has no choice. The Kazak is his mandatory. Its interesting that those two names came up and yet neither are middleweights or done anything to suggest they are at the top in that division.
Also interesting is that he has already been contacted to step aside to allow Alvarez/Cotto. If I were him given his age and struggle to get noticed I would not step aside. Not even for 7 figures and a right to immediately fight the winner.
And if they don't abide by the contract then they get the belt taken off them. But whoever wins will just vacate the belt anyway and go back to 154.
Didn't the WBC pull this exact stroke a few years ago to convince some other high risk low reward guy that he was guaranteed a massive payday, only for the two potential paydays to head off in other directions after they fought?
I forget who it was exactly but this same thing happened a few years ago.
Andre Ward was booed heartily when his name was mentioned.
A Kazakh who has only been fighting in the US for like two and a half years or something is not only selling more tickets than Ward in his home country, but he's doing it in Ward's home state and the locals are booing Ward.
That IS amazing when you think about it. What that tells you is that people are generally fed up with Ward's inactivity. They'll warm up to an action, busy fighter instead..... any day of the week. If I were Ward I'd pull a David Haye or a Shannon Briggs on Wlad. I'd be calling out GGG so bad the fight would HAVE to happen.
