    The only guy who can beat GGG is Ward. If Mayweather can't take the pressure from Maidana, he's going to get hammered against GGG. Going to the ropes is suicide against GGG and Floyd loves to go there. There was one instance where Maidana landed 3 straight bodyshots against Floyd on the ropes. One body shot from GGG would paralyze Floyd's body.

    Lara can't handle it when the pressure is coming to him. He's wide open to the body, especially his right side...basically begs for a left hook to the liver. Watch his fights and see how high he holds his left hand. GGG would break him down.

    Froch has a decent chance, but he's already talking retirement.

    Golovkin hammers everyone at 160lbs and under: Lara, Mayweather, Canelo, Cotto, Murray all get KO'd.

    Golovkin's challenges are all at 168lbs. Ward, Bika, Kessler, Froch, Abraham.

    I dont think anyone middle and below have a chance.

    So basically, I dont think anyone his size can beat him.

    Imo you have to go back to Pavlik, at middle, to find someone I would consider picking against him. Winky would also be interesting.

    Hopkins would beat him in my opinion.


    Now.... above 160, I dont think G carries his specialness with him.

    Froch, Dirrell, Groves, would all have competetive fights with him, imo.

    Ward flat out beats him



    just imo

    People talk about Golovkin's power but its actually his chin that allows him to walk through opponents best shots and land his own.

    His chin at 168 might well get cracked.

    No boxing expert with 1/2 of brain cell would pick Golovkin over Ward. Ward would be a prohibitive favorite if this fight were to ever happen.

    GGG is a better boxer than people give him credit for. That said it's difficult for me to imagine anyone out boxing ward at the moment. He's a crafty operator.

    But if Boone can knock him down you can be sure that GGG has the potential to knock him out. If pressed would favor Ward to get a UD. Close but clear.

    You can only compare like with like.
    Therefore Ward - and all other supermiddles, light heavies, heavies can't be used here.

    GGG has never fought above 160.

    Such comparisons can only be hypothetical. Like pound-for-pound is GGG better than Ward? IMO he is.

    LOL.

    Ward's resume completely shits all over Triple Duck's.

    Stop using the Crystal Meth, Golovtard...

    As I said, Ward would be a slight favourite.

    Lara gets KO'd. Ward has the best shot out of anyone from 154 to 168. Mayweather would last no more than 5 rounds @ 154+. Ward beats him 116-112 or 114-113 after suffering a knock down. I don't think Golovkin will be tested until he goes up to 168.
