Golovkin vs. the terrific Uk 1990 era clump

You're talking nonsense.

Canelo wasn't a bigger puncher than Eubank.

How would GG have easily have beaten Benn to the punch?

Benn used to crouch low and bob and weave. He was very fast and powerful. GG may be a better boxer, but he isn't as fast as what Benn was.

 

So what?

Stats are nothing without context.

 

You write some bizarre things.

How did he quit?

 

Nah. Benn could throw devastating combinations.

 

Benn quit?
Have you watched the fight?
He punched himself out, he had absolutely nothing left in the tank, he was put down by a jab.
There simply was no quit in Benn, did he quit against the monster puncher McClellan? He was floored twice and went through hell to come back and win.
I’d favour GGG here but it wouldn’t surprise me if Benn knocked triple GGG out granite jaw or no granite jaw.
You could never write a fighter like Nigel Benn off against anybody.

 

You all need to stop saying that GGG's chin is granite. It hasn't been proven yet. A fighter like Hagler ate punches from Hearns, Obel and Mugabi. GGG has not faced any fighters with that kind of KO ability.

 

All 4 I think could potentially give him a good challenge. I think him and Benn would be a war and a great fight which he'd likely stop Benn late. Eubank is always hard to predict I like Golovkin to beat him in a good fight as well but I think Eubank could likely take him the distance and make it close maybe even steal a decision. Watson I think Golovkin would stop in the mid to late rounds after Watson would hold his own till then. Graham would be interesting I could see him giving Golovkin some problems but I think eventually Golovkin would get to him and stop him.

 

He's took full flush power punches from Canelo, Jacobs and Brook and whilst they rocked his head back he pretty much kept walking through them. He KOd Geale whilst getting hit with Healed best shot and couldn't even see what he was throwing at. He has without a doubt got a granite chin.

I'd post the punches as they are all on Google images as gigs but dunno how embed on this forum, can't find the image button.

 

Prime Graham outboxes GGG.
Prime Benn knocks out GGG.
PRime Eubank wears down GGG and stops him.
Prime Watson gets stopped late .

 

He does have a great chin but not a proven ATG great chin.

I think he beats that top 4. Graham was a clever boxer but lacked power Golovkin can box as well as punch.
Benn didn't have Golovkin's chin or skills.
Eubank would not be comfortable with the pressure Golovkin would put on him,he liked to fight at a leisurely pace he would lose a one sided decision here.Watson was a good but not great fighter as McCallum showed.He gets stopped late.

 

Exactly my thoughts. Benns' punches wouldnt bounce off GGG chin like Canelos punches. But maybe GGG would understand this before the fight and come up with another strategy; he's certainly smart enough to know about Benns power.

All good matches. Better than what we have now at 160-168.

 

One point we're missing or avoiding here. ...posters are talking about what GGG did against Kell and Canelo...to compare Apple to apples, compare the UK mob to GGG in his prime, not the 35yr old GGG.
