    I like GGG by stoppage in 6-7 rds, in a crazy fight.

    Mugabi was mean and in my opinion is second only to Julian Jackson when it comes to bone crunching power at the middle weights level. So GGG has his hands full with someone who can turn his lights off. Plus the undefeated Mugabi had high confident levels. That's a "Beast" of a man to put away. Not sure GGG can pull it off.

    Golovkin dismantled a ko artist and big mw in Lemieux. Mugabi moved up from
    jmw so wasn't a big mw. GGG iron chin absorbs the beast bombs and also
    dismantle 's Mugabi late.

    I have same scenario. Mugabi throws nukes at ggg but he takes them well while banging his own in. Can see a battered, swollen mugabi been stopped in the tenth.

    After a few good rounds he slowly falls apart.

    He was a sharp solid puncher. A true light middle imo though. No way does he hit like Jackson. Huge gulf

    I'm not sure I'd back anyone in a fire fight with Golovkin.

    Not even G-Man or McCallum.

    I think the key to beating him is movement.

    So i don't fancy the chances of Mugabi here. But I do think Leonard has more of a chance after the Jacobs fight. I think Canelo and Golovkin is almost even.

    GGG is a more polished all round fighter, now if GGG engaged in a fire fight? but he's too smart for that

    James Toney would stand right in front of Giftlovkin and beat him into submission - making it look easy in the process...
