    As was already said above (Slim), he is still caught going straight back at times and (Ron) he does tip his punches be he arches away from his body prematurely to get more power on his shots, (almost like a wind up-- I wont say its a russian trait but I do see it in many of the fighters from that part of the world). He can box, but hes far from a slickster, so you wont catch him doing those subtle things on the inside like turning his opponents to get more leverage on shots from angles to compensate for compromised extension. GGG is still linear in his approach, so you have to work the angles.

    While I haven't seen the lemeiux fight yet, a fighter like David who squares up a lot and gives GGG a bigger target is always going to have a hard, short night. Especially with a reach disadvantage. Going on the offensive against GGG just means he wont have to wait as long to get to you. He has that obvious advantage in power. He's not a one punch fighter (like a cotto where youre just looking to avoid the left hook) So circling away from the power hand can line you up for lead hook. Ward would line up well against Golovkin because in order to eek out a decision, ward will jab to the belly, step away, hide your head and clinch him, then hit him on the break on the way out. Just when GGG thinks this is becoming a fight and starts to exchange, ward clinches again and tries to work with one arm. the ref will separate them, ward will lunge at GGG with a jab and a right hand and then hold on for dear life. Then rinse and repeat.. Till the last round... and spend half of it like this..

    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    The one major flaw I see is he keeps punching guys so damn hard in the face that his hands are going to break!!! Seriously, the guy is a complete fighter. His defense is underrated in my opinion, and he is very effective at parrying punches and countering.

    An elite, strong chinned, fast, and durable boxer can likely take advantage of his crouching style and slower feet. That being said, Ward is the only guy I see 168 and lower who fits that bill. If only one guy around his weight stands a realistic chance of beating him, and that guy is a top ranked p4p fighter a division heavier, does he REALLY have any flaws?

    GGG is the most balanced Middleweight since Monzon, his ring work is almost flawless. He can be hit, so could Monzon, but the punches just bounce off him. He is conditioned, balanced and has incredible power, GGG was rocking Lemieux with straight lefts. Cotto has no chance, Canelo some chance, but realistically i reckon GGG could take both of them on the same night!

    Most likely he would whip either of them, but cotto has very deceptive punching power. On some nights it is especially debilitating.

    Yes he does, but GGG is a beast, a true Middleweight who could quite easily move up a division and knock everybody out at 167lb?

    As solid as Cotto is, GGG would do way more damage to him than Pac did. No he isn't as fast as Pac, just looking at it on the basis of power. And Pac busted Cotto UP!







    Then rinse and repeat line haahaaaa!!!
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
