    This sounds good, but its a lame attempt at trying to promote European fighters that you like. Golovkin knocks out 2 of these guys in the same night. How can you put a guy on your list who's 8-0? Andy Lee looked like **** against Julio Chavez Jr.

    Ward-It's Ward.

    Lara-Best at 154, best footwork in the game, fast, skilled.

    Froch-Strong, packs a punch and can take a punch.

    Quillin-Good reach, great power and accuracy.

    Lee-Big height and reach advantage, some serious power in that hook.

    Honorable mentions-Cotto, Canelo, Trout, Chavez Jr., and Bika. Hopkins could give him hell if he were to go down to 168.

    ward all day but besides ward there isnt really anyone.

    just bout every one else will get hurt and knocked out in there.

    i think chavez jr can pose a slight threat due to size advantage depending on wut weight class they would fite at

    GGG has issues on the inside and gets hit a lot by short punches.

    Lara, Quillin and Canelo all get stopped without winning a round in my opinion. Dirrelll and Ward would both be interesting.

    GGG needs to figth some more good opponents inhis own division first. 2 is not enough for any sort of claims to other divisions.

    Ward-Great at neutralizing offenses. His defense is very good, but he does get tagged often with the right. Easily GGG's greatest threat and potential arch-rival.

    Lara-Great speed, good, sneaky power, southpaw, and mobile target.

    Canelo-Good power and speed in both hands. Good combination puncher.

    Andre Dirrell-Has experience fighting him in the ams, both know each other well. Perhaps GGG's 2nd greatest threat after Ward. Mobile southpaw, good sneaky power, like Ward, has experience at the top level.

    Anthony Dirrell-A more offensive minded version of his bro Andre and perhaps more dangerous. Has fast hands, very explosive, and is a risk taker not afraid of anyone. Some say his bro more talented, but I disagree and time will tell. Does get alil reckless, may be his weakness, but with that corrected, he will be better than Andre.

    Kessler and Froch are shot, no reflexes, they'd both be done in 5 rounds, same with Trout. Any of the tricky left-handers, Andrade, Lara ,De Gale or either Dirrell could take a decision. I think his hardest fights though would be either Ward (great talent)or Jermall Charlo (the powerful brother). Charlo has maybe the best jab in boxing and a 14 fight winning streak. He doesn't punch much be he is the one guy who could out-jab GGG, stules make fights.

    Canelo really doesn't do anything better than GGG, Cotto is small and old, and never thought much of Quillan. He's more an athlete than a boxer. He knocks guys down 100 times, but can't finish them because he can't throw combos.
