    If they ever encounter, GGG to Andy Lee will be pretty much what Froch was to Groves.

    Nonsense....groves and Froch were very evenly matched....GGG v Andy Lee would be a one sided massacre. Come on.

    You don't really get KTFO'd twice against a guy you are very evenly matched.

    In any case I'd like to see Lee against Murray first before he gets a shot against GGG.

    Lee basically conceded that no-one in the division has the capablilites to out box GGG, so what he would do is basically train for a 6 round fight and try to push him back from the opening bell and catch him with something. Refreshingly honest opinion and I think it's probably the best strategy for him. Hope he beats Quillan and Cotto first though!!

    Even if he drops him GGG will get back up, and when he does he'll be p**sed off.

    Murray and Stevens were not competitive fights, they were one sided beatdowns.

    Lee has to get by Quillin which is no gimme

    I have to agree, guys have tried to box Golovkin but he cuts the ring well and just keeps coming and slugging and breaking the body and isn't a guy you ttry to wait out he can go to the deep water and not drown

    Lee got beaten into submission by Chavez despite boxing with success, I think the same would happen vs Golovkin if he tried to box

    Golokvkin is a guy I think you just have to come after before he gets warmed up...Kind of like Kirkland he is vulnerable as hell in round 1 ask Ishida or Angulo or Tapia but once his motor starts up he will beat you down

    Lee's best chance is to probably come out and try to get a bomb on Golovkin and keep him from opening up

    Lee strategy is correct. Not that I think he can pull it off, but the thinking is right.

    Lee is not going to outbox Golovkin, nor will he survive running and potshotting for 12. Exchanging with him, and setting him up to catch a big shot is the best way to go about beating Golovkin. Lee one hope is the fact that his money punch is a right hook. Its an awkward, uncommon punch to have the kind of KO power his does.

    Exchanging with GGG in the first 3 rounds, when your own stamina and focus is highest and trying to catch him with an awkward power shot on the chin is by far the best strategy. Even if you dont get the KO, if you can really get his respect you might have a chance to make the rest of the fight competitive.

    Strategy? How about this...bend down, put your head between your legs and kiss your azz goodbye!

    Seriously the only strategy is DONT fight GGG.

    Andy Lee has zero chance, GGG is in a whole different class Andy Lee can only dream of being that good.

    Lee can take a hell of a beating and still wing with enough power to starch an opponent. He is potentially one of the most challenging matchups for Quillin and Golovkin. You can beat on him, and his power doesn't dissipate. You gotta take him all the way out or there is the potential that he can stop you at ainy point.

    andy lee better forget about how he'd lose to golovkin for now. he has to win a 50/50 at best fight to even get there.

    I think it would be a lot more one sided than Froch vs Groves but maybe we'll find out one day.

    He'd abandon that strategy as soon as GGG landed his first flush shot.

    I like Lee but he has no chance against Golovkin, regardless of strategy.
