    Golovkin by early KO and by early I mean before the end of the 4th . Trinidad has a small height advantage and I think a couple inches advantage in reach . Golovkin hits harder and is the natural middleweight . Trinidad has the advantage in this fantasy fight of being the retired fighter so we have a full body of work to look at and judge him on . Golovkin is the best middle around today but he hasn't really fought a fighter of the calibre of Trinidad , but the key here for me is the fact that Trinidad was not a natural middle and was very vulnerable early in a fight to being put down on the canvas due to his leaky defence and suspect chin early in fights even when trying to push home a definite advantage. Who can forget the Kevin Lueshing fight where the fighters exchanged knockdowns. call me mad but I beleive this could be a breathtaking 2 to 4 round barnstormer

    Golovkin by KO no later than the 4th

    Golovkin isn't Hopkins and doesn't have the style to outbox Tito. If Golovkin is to win he will have to beat Tito fighting in a style that suits Tito.

    I'd favour Golovkin though. He has a good jab that will trouble Tito and probably hits harder at 160lbs. I wouldn't right Tito off completely though. He hit damn hard as well and is faster and throws more compact punches. He was the only fighter to ever stop Joppy at middleweight and he stopped the iron chinned Mayorga.

    At 154 Prime for Prime and GGG can make 154... Tito Smokes Him... I see Tripple G knocking down Tito several times like others have but Tito was a lethal weapon at 154.

    At 160, Tripple G could do his work...

    Please, I just don't get how we are comparing tripple G who hasn't fought anyone elite to elite fighters.

    trinidad was never a real middleweight.
    3-3 in fights over 154

    wins over cherefi, joppy and fellow former welterweight Mayorga

    To be fair 2 of those losses came when he was very much past his prime. The Jones fight was at 170.

    Mike Tyson didnt fight anyone elite (or at least near their prime and elite) until he fought an undersized former lightheavyweight Mike Spinks, and people were pretty excited about him. In fact, Id say GGGs resume is at least as good in his division as Tysons was before the Spinks fight.
    Its not just who Golovkin is beating, its HOW HEs BEATING THEM.
    Now he just has to brutally KO an undersized lineal champion to become an all-time legend:yep

    its not rocket science to figure out just about every fighter who got into a slugfest with tito got fck'd up. this should be common knowledge to everyone here.

    ggg is a beast but lets wait until he proves himself first. tito is an atg, not some belt holder

    This a tough one. Trinidad was a pin point puncher much like Golovkin. At middleweight, I think Golovkin hits harder and has a better chin. Whoever connects the first solid blow probably wins

    This is pretty funny considering some consider criticising Tyson's resume as some sort of blasphemy. Do agree though. Am currently aboard the GGG hype train and will be happy to eat crow if he turns out to be a Lucy Bute!

    I see where you are coming from but he's not an ATG middleweight mate. I'm as big a fan of Tito as most but it's hard to favor him against a genuinely talented middleweight.
