    Probably the most over rated fighter of the last century. Right up there with Valero.

    Golovkin would outbox him.

    No not really.. I see why you would think that but I really don't think GGG would find him and also I don't see his power coming close to overwhelming him. Actually it's safe to say it's nothing he hasn't seen before.... Floyd does his thing in the middle of the ring and the song remains the same....

    I also think GGG my benefit if he came down to 154lbs where the competition is much easier for him. Because I really don't see him fighting at 168lbs right now. That would be the death of him...

    If he chin holds up I'd picked Canelo to beat GGG by SD he's better offensive and defensive fighter. Alvarez is faster, patient and counters in fluid combos, only thing to worry about is GGG's power which hasn't really been tested vs top comp.

    I agree with this. I hope his stamina improves at 160 where he can drain less and focus more on training and not losing weight

    I agree, but which MW is going to back him up?

    Its amazing how so many people really dont know what they are looking at when they watch a fight. :conf

    If Floyd or Canelo ever stone up, you will see. I think Canelo will... Floyd obviously never would.

    Everyone has there flaws I personally don't by that he's just drained fighting at JMW I think the only reason he's come in at 155 his last 2 fights is because he hasn't fought for a title so he really didn't have to. The guy has said as much himself that if he had a legit title shot at 154 he'd make 154.

    Personally I think Canelo based on reasons above and with some more experience Andrade with his size are really the only guys I'd pick vs him at 160. that doesn't change the fact that he's overrated plenty of fighter have looked like GGG fighting the same level of comp until they stepped up in class and got exposed, I like Golovkin but until he actually beats someone I'm going to call it like it is.

    Bollywooden read the next statement after that.

    Sorry, Floyd doesn't have the legs anymore to move around and stay away.
    He doesn't have either the punching power or the activity to dissuade him to press forward.
    Should they meet at 154 tomorrow, i would make GGG a clear favorite.

    GGG's lack of fighting ability going backwards is something would lend o a disadvantage against Money.. seems he has to set his feet to get off his most effective power shots in rhythm and I just don't see that happening against Mayweather.. I dunno I just envision the same ol' Mayweather story. I mean GGG is good but he's not this unreal anomaly that's going to rule boxing for the next 15 years ya know ?

    You ever watch the Golovkin-Dirrell fight? you can says it's ams or w/e, but it shows him beat a very skilled boxer, with smaller gloves it only gives Golovkin a pro. advantage.

    You made an odd statement. The top level competition doesn't always have the best punch resistance, Sergio Martinez is a good example, Cotto is another.

    Golovkin would send those two into the next stratosphere. Who has the best punch resistance at MW that's going to expose Golovkin's power?

    Golovkin is overrated not by way of his skills he shows in the ring, but by way of not having the opportunity to show it against opposition which warrants the amount of discussion that Golovkin currently, and for a couple years now, receives.
