    GG would have to put on around 30-40 lbs onto an already MW, at best SMW frame, it would kill all his best atributes, just look at Adamek, and how bad he now looks, putting on 20-25 lbs extra on a LHW-CW frame

    Golovkin extremely overrated.

    This fight will tell us a lot about him.

    He's finally fighting a top 10 MW.

    I hope GGG gets laid out cold. I swear there's never been a fighter with more undeserved hype than this guy. Golovkin fans are worse than *****s, *******s, and Klittards combined.
     
  5. R.i.P Macklin .. brutal knockout within the first 5 rounds.

    Maybe it's because he has the best offense in the game right now. The guy is pitbul, and it's hard to imagine anyone surviving his attack. Who is going dig in and out muscle him, nobody. Who is going to outrun him and be able to output him, maybe Ward?

    I find him to be one of the most entertaining fighters to watch.

    Keep hoping. GGG's a small middleweight and these dudes still come out post-fight looking like their face was put on by Picasso.

    I like Mack the knife but Golovkin will do him some serious harm I reckon.

    Never heard of except he fought twice on HBO :patsch , i know, it's not Skysports but still...

    Macklin hardly beat Sturm, a draw would have been fair and Murray would have deserved the SD loss imo.

    As for knocking down Martinez twice :patschIn what world does an off balance push/flash knockdown equals two knockdowns ?

    This could be very explosive. Macklin will come to win. Golovkin though I think will stop him late.
