    Poor Herol continues to passive aggressively attack Triple G from every corner. What a sad and meaningless existence from the College drop out.

    Kelly Pavlik is taller than Mike Tyson.

    are you being an idiot deliberately? MY scorecard is that 3G is ahead in their two bouts, like your view. That is why I wrote "as with canelo", you didnt take the time to read what I wrote.

    So anything you wrote about me just now, you wrote about yourself. Stop making 3g fans look like fools please.

    Leonard clear decision

    I like Golovkin, but I couldnt imagine him beating Leonard.
    I think Leonard would win a very clear decision.
    I make no secret that Leonard is possibly my favourite boxer (might be Mayweather) and that I may be bias, but just look at the difference in movement between them. Leonard had great footwork, and im not saying Golovkin doesnt because he does close the distance well, but he seems to move in straight lines and I think Leonard would be the one landing the more eye catching punches.
    Although he started as a WW. Leonard wasnt a small MW

    What power did he need to beat Hagler? Who's chin is better than GGG and who's a better fighter than GGG? Your post couldn't be anymore ridiculous.

    Correct
    He didnt try and overpower Hagler. He used the ring and great movement.
    I just couldnt imagine GGG catching up with him. Hagler was underrated for how quick he was. I think Haglers great footwork gets missed because he had a granite chin but his footwork was very good. Still Leonard was too sharp

    Very true and Hagler was an underrated boxer as well.

    I'm gonna overturn the cart a bit here with my answer, because if anyone
    pays attention to me they know I don't like Golovkin at all.

    I think at MW, Golovkin stops Leonard.
    Leonard fought once at MW (I don't care about the
    official, he lost to the oldest end stage version of Hagler).

    Beyond that fight, he looked bad against Lalonde at SMW, got blew out back
    at JMW against Terry Norris, should've lost to Hearns at SMW and
    got stopped and ended by the feather fists of Hector. Golovkin is a stalker
    with an excellent jab and subtle defense where he doesn't get hit clean alot.
    One of Leonard's weaknesses was a jab, it disrupts his combinations.
    Realistically at MW, Leonard just wasn't very good.

    Disclaimer: Leonard at WW is one of the greatest of all time but that
    ain't the division we're discussing.

    true but they would counter that by saying 3G beat by light middle, affirming it by saying thats what ahppened, not what we imagine would happen.

    GGG was made to look like a geriatric tortoise by another tortoise in Canelo, Sugar Ray makes Triple Hype look like a fool in there. LOL.

    SRL will get beaten from pillar to post, size MATTERS unless SRL gets the A side Canelo treatment and manages a Controversial draw just for going the distance against Triple G. I dont see Golovkin Legit losing to any Natural welterweight.

    i thought canelo spent most of his career at ww. so u mean all but the one who beat him?

    he did poleaxe the mighty kell brook though, so on that basis he may beat all WWs? maybe u mean that, i am not sure.

    Likely they would say that.........and I see alot of people on here saying Leonard would dominate with speed.
    That Leonard didn't really exist at MW. Whether I like a fighter or not, my critique of likely outcomes is unbiased, Golovkin would stop him.
    Norris hurt him, Lalonde hurt him, Hearns hurt him, Camacho hurt and stopped him at that stage.
