Would Errol Spence have done better against a prime SRR at 147 than prime GGG would have at 160?

    Who would have fared better against prime Ray at these respective weights?

    GGG could match Ray`s power much better and his jab volume.

    I'd say Golovkin would last longer. I saw Spence hurt by Brook. Brook doesn't hit like Sugar Ray Robinson. I've seen Golovkin take some flush shots from guys who had decent power, and he didn't seem all the worse for it.

    Do you think Robi could take GGG`s power?

    I think so, and I think that Golovkin's chin would wear down before Robinson's did. Robinson took shots from punchers who had six ounce gloves on, while Danny Jacobs is taking Golovkin's best shots.

    And he'd still get his ass whooped.
