    This misconception needs to stop. It dumbs down boxing fans in general. If he took them to give them he would have fired back. Numerous times he had both hands up to defend and got hit still because his head is as stationary as my refrigerator. When he would have both hands guarding up the middle Brook would loop his right around his guard, when he had his guard wide Brook cracked him with the uppercut. And many times no punches came back. Because GGG was trying to defend. His defense is just bad. He is a great fighter but he isn't perfect. His defense is bad because of his lack of head movement. He gets hit because of bad defense. All the excuses for his bad defense are simply that, excuses.
    I'm sure GGG will appreciate your coaching efforts, pro bono of course, meanwhile he will clear up all the MW division titles, make a lot of money and probably retire unbeaten. If idiot fans pay to watch him destroy Mayweather his pension gets better still.

    I feel GGG does not move his head because it will effect his punching power. I am sure he has considered moving his head but probably gave up on the idea because he wanted to stay balanced to throw his power punches. GGG has a good chin and does not mark up either, so why move the head.

    Yes GGG did get caught and had his hands up to block the punches. So what? He is going to get hit, this is boxing. The punches probably did not hurt him either.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
