Anyone else feel GGG can carry his skills / power up to LH?

    weren't people spouting this sort of rubbish about that Canadian dude who Rubio KTFO a few years ago why do some fans get so carried away let the guy beat a string of solid contenders at middleweight before we worry about what he can do a light-heavy.

    I like Golovkin but he is small for middleweight, let alone lightheavyweight.

    That would be David Lemiuex and people were saying the same thing.
    I've seen Golovkin fight Lajuan Simon who is known for a solid chin and
    he starched him. Simon went 12 with Abraham. I think Golovkin might
    have some good power but lets see him with someone in the top
    40 first.

    Now I am a Lemieux fan...

    GGG already beat Bute and Dirrel (who ran the whole fight) as an amateur.

    That guy is real.

    In reality he's only a light middleweight, this fight with Proska should tell us a lot.

    Still not sold on Golovkin, main reason being the Ouma fight. There were stretches in that fight where Ouma kicked the **** out of him. The Proksa fight should answer a lot of questions.

    That is correct.

    Golovkin is a very very good fighter but not the untouchable beast some make him out to be.

    Maybe the blueprint is to fight him on the inside. Ouma was battlewarn and never did anything at MW yet gave him hell. As great as GG is on offense he is vulnerable on defense.

    lets see him ko some top middleweights before you get carried away, his resume is pretty shitty especially his caliber of opponents that somehow got title shots

    GGG would shatter Sven Warddke's glass jaw for sure.

    I like 3G a lot but I've said before I don't think his power will travel north.168 will be enough of a test I reckon.
    And I'm not overconfident.

    Slow,below average defense and relies on the ko too much,that means he's a couple fights away from getting outclassed or exposed.
