    And GGG chin was shaken by Kell damn Brook.. Who cares if your chin gets shaken.. It's boxing. That happens.

    Yes but Golovkin has a better chin than all the fighters listed put together, he wouldn't feel his punches, if flush punches from Lemieux and Stevens didn't bother him, what hope has Floyd got of making him honest?

    Prime GGG vs Prime Mayweather, Golovkin knocks him out

    What???? Where did Kell Brook shake GGGs chin?? I must have missed the fight because I saw GGG eating his punches like tasty pies

    We never saw a 160 lb Floyd punch, you wouldn't know that.

    2. Who says he 100% can walk through them?

    Who says he even finds a meaningful glove on Floyd Joy Sinclair?

    GGG isn't fast.

    Well current version of GGG vs current version of Floyd, no question GGG knocks him out badly, prime Floyd vs Prime GGG (Golovkin was fairly quick in his younger years), I'd still favor GGG to win, Floyd of course is the better boxer and if he was born 20-25% bigger he would beat Golovkin most likely but size matters and GGG would walk through Floyd, he's walked through everyone he has faced, he has never been close to going down, well he has never been close to being hurt in his 38 fights acutally

    No, but Floyd was never a middleweight, so it's kind of a loaded question. He wasn't even a real 154 pounder.

    He hurt him a couple times in that fight. Lifted him off his feet and had him momentarily out on his feet.. Just because GGG instinct is to fight back doesn't mean this wasn't the case

    Not flush but I don't think G is fast enough to catch him

    Lifted off his feet? Mean when 3G reacts as if it were nothing and fired back immediately?

    If you call reacting immediately getting hit with 3 more shots without a response.. Sure. Whatever you'd like to think

    bit weak putting up a vid of higlights of a guy connecting who was irreversibly stopped midrounds.

    Course 3G took some nasty shots, its part of his game and it doesnt change the fact that Kell was destroyed once again on stepping up.

    Obviously the question here is could GGG land on him (because anyone who doesn’t think a flush GGG power shot would knock him the **** out is crazy)?

    Personally, if he headhunted he may have a difficult time actually doing it. He only got to Canelo a few times and we all know Floyd is even better at evading. But Floyd would not garner GGG’s respect and he would tee off with zero regard for the potshots.

    That said, I think GGG absolutely demolishes Floyd’s body and breaks him down and stops him late, or Floyd literally runs away for most of the fight.

    Answer is yes because he will not have to take them. He would make GGG miss and make him pay.
