    Seeing these LMWs I don't understand where anyone is comingf from saying GGG is a natural middleweight. I man almost all the people who he fought was taller than him? I understand taller doesn't mean bigger or heavier but it is an important aspect of size. Even Brook was nearly the same height. Who was a welterweight. Golovkin had about a half an inch/2 cms on him

    GGG is the perfect size for MW, he probably can't drain down to LMW, no matter how hard he tried, but he's not quite big enough to go up and fight a division north, although he probably could, he'd be small for the weight, he doesn't drain himself or have to bulk up, he's perfectly proportion for MW. Like with me, I'm comfortable around 195-200, if I go up a few pounds I feel heavy, if I go down 10 or so below, I feel weak. GGG is probably the same way. Whereas a lot of fighters practically kill themselves to make their divisions weight limits comfortably, like Jacobs, or Hurd, Chavez Jr. even Saunders to a certain extent, and Canelo and Vanes. Who are all built like either MW's or LMW's.

    At this point in his career, I absolutely agree. But around 30-31 I think 154 was still a possibility.
    The thing is I've never found any information about at what weight category Golovkin started into amateur boxing. I feel his body would start around 140 at early ages. That would shut some haters up saying Golovkin never moved up in any discussion about him being a HOF boxer or not.
    And yes this find might work as a measuring stick but that depends on Vanes' performance.

    The Golovkin-Martirosyan Match Served As An Excellent & Revelatory Proxy Measuring Stick..... and my assessment.

    GGG would absolutely massacre Lara, Boo Boo and Jermello. And for all those who thought otherwise.:qmeparto:

    Agree

    But Jermallo, Jacobs, and most importantly Billy Joe still remain big threats.

    Styles make fights genius.

    Because Lara is going to stand toe to toe with GGG like Martirosyan did.

    Oh btw, did you know Martirosyan was not only a JrMW, but was coming off a two layoff?

    Do you know what it means to be coming off a two year lay off?

    If it’s anything like being banned on here then it doesn’t mean much, people just come back and it’s as if they were never gone.

    Martirosyan, who just got his brain scrabbled by GGG, has more respect for him than the GGG haters who've never stepped into the ring (against anybody, let alone Golovkin). It makes me chuckle a bit.

    Martirosyan was clearly overmatched and would never beat GGG, whether he was inactive or not. But he proved me wrong, he at least came to win. I thought he'd go in there and try to survive and just collect a check. It seems the late replacements (Brook/Martirosyan) have more balls than Jacobs or Canelo, who went in there just trying not to lose instead of trying to win.

    Clearly you didn't read my article, I already covered a few of your points.

    No, Lara isn't going to stand and trade with GGG, but he didn't stand and trade with Vanes either, and Vanes ran him ridiculously close both times, and even I think you'd agree, GGG is better than Vanes in every way, and fights in a similar, yet superior style.

    And yeah, I know what it means to come off of a two year layoff, look what Khan did to Lo Greco, look at what Wlad almost did to AJ, every fighter doesn't react the same way to layoffs genius.

    I stopped listening once the Tecate girls showed up but he did appear startled to feel the level of GGG's power.

    Weird because Jacobs did win according to a lot of people
