    Lol. Those guys are getting severely overrated here.

    GGG should be the favourite to beat them all.

    I don't know about the rest , but Benn blows GGG wide open.

    Glovkin never faced anybody like a Benn.

    Benn vs Golovkin would be a ****ing incredible fight. He would stand the best chance.

    I would pick GGG vs all 4. There's definitely a case of rose tinted specs going on here, mainly because it was such a great era in British boxing. The presence of the others elevated each of these individuals beyond their true standing.

    Golovkin wins all 4 Imo.

    Eubank would last the distance but I believe Golovkin to be more fundamentally sound boxer. I think it would be even early but Golovkin's precision and power keeping Eubank defensive over the latter part of the fight.

    Golovkin 116-112 but he'd know he's been in a fight.

    Collins doesn't have the punch power or strength to keep Golovkin off him and I think Golovkin would systematically break him down for a stoppage in 8.

    Watson again would be stopped mid way to late. A good fighter but nothing to trouble Golovkin Imo.

    Regarding Benn, I was watching Benn v Nardiello last night and was shocked at just how bad Benn's balance and footwork actually was. Golovkin would be able to keep Benn at the end of his jab and break him down. Benn's not as durable as Collins but with his power I think Golovkin would take his time and again get a stoppage in around 8.

    1. Eubank
    2. Watson
    3. Collins
    4. Benn.

    In order of who has the best chance to beat GGG.

    Nardiello was a super middle weight south paw in a fight that was at the end of Benn's carrer.

    Under Tibbs as a middle weight he was a different story. Nardiello , Sugar Malinga and other agile , slick movers caused Benn to be off balance.

    GGG isn't bobbin n weaving , duckin and dodgin , parryin n sliipin the the ferocious Benn onslaught effectively to render him off balance and out of position.

    GGG plods forward with minimal upper body movement winding up punches like a grand farther clock .

    Suicide against a wrecking machine like Benn who packed a lethal punch with the ability to land it quicker and from further distance than any shot thrown by Glovkin.

    LOL @ Watson being #2.

    The only point you proved in that post is how much of a clue less GGG bum sniff you are.

    Firstly you are one of if not the ****tiest poster on the forum currently.

    Secondly regardless of whether the fight was at 160 or 168 Benn has always had awful balance and footwork. Now put into the mix he's fighting a guy who is technically better, equally if not harder puncher and a man who's footwork is his main asset then I'm afraid to say Dinohelmet Benn is in trouble.

    Golovkin is better at long and mid range and Benn would have to go through hell against arguably the most complete fighter he'd of ever faced.

    Your mum should have swallowed

    Stylistically both Eubank and Watson are the tougher fights.

    Had GGG been there, there would have been no such thing as a popular middleweight era in the UK. They would all have been considered D level fighters once beaten to a pulp by GGG.

    He couldn't beat to a pulp official D leveller Martin Murrary.

    In fact Murrary landed heaps of body shots and counters on him. Luckily for the Ham Man , Murrary's fists couldn't burst a water balloon.

    And on top of that , Murray completely out muscled him in the clinch and moved him around like a rag doll.

    You wouldn't have heard GGG if he was 'there' as you put it.

    By calling Murray a D level fighter, you have just proven my point. Thanks.

    As for the rest, you can keep telling yourself that, but the fact is: GGG TKO Murray.

    :cool:

    That once good fighters such as Murray or Lemieux get KOed/TKOed
    by GGG, people call them D level fighters.

    Same thing would have happened in the past and same thing will happen in the future once he beats Canelo, Saunders, Eubank jr, etc...

    No , you said Eubank , Benn etc would be D levellers if beaten by Glovkin.

    Murrary was a D leveller before he lost to Glovkin.

    So Sturm and Abraham are D level fighters, right?
