    No, instead they get knocked down multiple times by Angulo and struggle with ATGs like Carlos Molina.

    Slick guys dont get hit like that against vera. They just get dropped by a past it, shockingly bad angulo.

    Lara, up there with broner and canelo as one of the most overrated fighters today. Well i guess the broner hype stopped after maidana.

    Monroe Jr was the most difficult guy on the table and Golovkin chose him. Sure he may not be on Lara's level in terms of boxing skills but he is bigger and more durable. Just look at how much more sturdy Monroe's frame is than Laras.

    Monroe is going to be very difficult to look good against and can cause Golovkin issues but most of you are letting agenda override sense. You are writing off Monroe now but will surely spin any issue's Golovkin has in this fight to support your myriad of contrived narratives.

    Willie is a skilled fighter. Now he has the chance to prove it.

    Yep. Can't wait to see how well GGG cuts off the ring against a slick fighter like Monroe Jr. and how well he puts in position for punching.

    Don't bother with these simpletons. They only have wet dreams with PBF and Pacman squaring off.

    He's more like Austin Trout than Lara

    I watched that fight, and Monroe looked hittable.

    He also had his back against the ropes a lot in that fight.

    I predict Golovkin by KO.
