Golovkin vs McLellan.

I made this thread a few days ago and got responses like "GGG wins by brutal KO, he is on a completely different level of a different building"

 

If he gets past the first 2/3 rounds GGG's skill/pedigree will show. Mcclellan was a beast, but I think he could be tamed. Mcclellan was a stupidly massive weight cutter...That would show in a hard fight down the stretch at middle imo

 

Also I feel mcclellan went in to the fight with Benn a ticking time bomb..Mcclellan with no injury stops Benn in 4..

 

Ggg's got a chin on him though...Mouth watering clash it would have been

 

Would have been a hell of a fight. But I'm starting to think that the hype about GGG's chin may be real. Jacobs landed some bombs and Golovkin hardly blinked. GM is heavier handed than DJ I think, but I also think DJ may be the better boxer. I'm favouring Golovkin with a reasonable amount of confidence.

 

Yep, Jacobs cuter than Mcclellan with angles and footwork. I think he would've eventually been shown up as a little one dimensional Mcclellan if he'd had a longer career. To in love with his power

 

I agree, but its not the full picture mate

 

Definitely a better chin agreed. Far sturdier mcclellan..He just smacked of a fighter than would run out of ideas to me if he couldn't get u out. He loses to all the middles back then in Hopkins Toney jones jnr. Nothing to be ashamed of. Perhaps they weren't at the same weights at the same time, I cant remember exactly.

 

GGG a few fights a go was very good at slipping punches. It was the first thing that jumped out at me and why I think hes past it seeing him take more. Some see it as better competition, maybe true, but ive seen him fight great behind a jab and slip stuff effortlessly in the past. Ive never really rated Jacobs. I hope he does well as he has a great story behind him.
