One thing Floyd does well on defense is he's always looking at his opponents and Floyd is quick to get in and out of spaces and get what he wants, which is a quick body jab, left hook or just a straight right hand. It would take Floyd a little to get him queued up just like Mosley and Lotta people were saying the same thing about Shane. I see Floyd frustrating him and work the body well and sliding to his left while setting traps for the left hook steping back. Difficult fight for Floyd but even more difficult fight for Norris to get past Floyd defense and land that right multiple times without Floyd countering or timing it right. Also Floyd has underrated power and to quote you the shock and accuracy of that left hook would have Norris think twice.

these things are true. floyd does have a good jab to the body. but a quick jab to the body can be countered by a guy with a quick a right hand.

this is going to be one of the big factors when kovalev and ward fight.

floyd has a good check hook. but the way to beat a check hook is to throw your right hand and move your head inside and/or under the check hook in the same motion.

that was how terry norris knocked out john mugabi.

i dont think that floyd can stand in front of norris. i think he would probably have to use a lot of movement. back can never touch the ropes. try to counter a lot and steal a lot. but you have to remember norris was a very good counter puncher too. norris had a very good check hook too.

i would favor norris. but i would never count floyd out of any fight against any guy.

Wassup with all the GGG hate around here??? I can understand that he have alot of media behind him and he gets a big push from HBO with basically a mediocre resume. But the only person he really didn't want smoke with was Ward(can't blame him on that, bigger guy that would derail his terminator hype train).So people saying but but but Lara (Canelo had him on a speedbike:camby:), Jacobs (has power but he's chinny so :camby:, and choco kid ( struggled with all the 160s that GGG would smoke in under 6rounds so :camby:) will give him trouble is :mindblown: they will all get smoked just the same and you will be trolling if you say they wont. And he already said he will fight top people at 168..so yall giving him shyt for him and his team hyping hisself up and then backing down from the number 1 p4p boxer in world (Ward) basically ..that ain't right :francis:

And for Canelo he's a good counter puncher but I think his power is overrated and he doesn't have a high enough workrate to beat GGG. Besides him getting UDed by Floyd and just doing enough to beat Lara, Trout, and Cotto what has he done that yall think he can beat GGG?



Just wondering if any of yall can break down the "97G" hate.

This all I've been saying...but GGG stans thinks it's cool for him to stay at a weight where there aren't any challenges instead of moving up and challenging himself lIke EVERY other great fighter of the last 25 years has done:manny:


Middleweight is weak and has been for a while. Move up to 168 and fight better opponents...then he'd get more credit.


GGG hasn't beat 1 opponent that Miguel Cotto or Canelo Alvarez couldn't. Having David Lemieux as your best win says it all.
