    u know a weight drained fighter is worse than a pumped up fighter, thurman could easily make 154 gennady would drain himself and would probably still win.

    why are so many Golovkin mythical matchups against welterweights, how about some mythical matches against guys his size?

    This thread is moreso about Keith Thurman than Golovkin, Thurman and his fans are always talking about how he's so dominant @ 147 because he's so much bigger than everybody in that division and how he has great power and blah blah blah.

    Golovkin would knock Thurman out, however, looks as if Chavez has backed out of their fight, so Golovkin will fight Geale next. Golovkin can't get Quillin to fight him, nor Sturm. Doubt if Martinez will fight him either.............

    Assumig Martinez gets past Cotto and doesn't injure himself he will fight GGG. No more options for Martinez at HBO for his last fight other than GGG.


    Unless GBP does in fact ends the cold war with TR, than Martinez will gun for a Canelo fight which will be bigger money wise.

    Not very well, he's too small and not good enough. Thurman would probably look how Haye looked vs Wlad but GGG is less tentative and chinny than Wlad so I think he hunts Thurman down and knocks him out.

    Good point. Though........Thurman is draining himself to fight at 147. He's still a kid and hasnt filled out.
    If GGG is gonna make ANY fights at 154 he'd better do so before he moves to 168. He will end up like Byrd and RJJ and someone like Thurman would be just the type to be the guy to crack him.:think

    Don't put the kid ahead of himself, you gonna spoil the whole show for him! Here he is, fighting Soto-Karass and Julio Diaz and putting that funky speech that he one-times everybody and wants Floyd and you want to throw him at the wolves... Nahh
