    I fel GGG`s lead hand will be key in this fight because it`s so good and it`s the best way for a bigger fighter to exploit their reach advantage, what I learned from this study is that GGG actually throws a left cross too which I didn`t notice, a great shot to use v a southpaw, is Manny`s inferior lead hand too short to give him a chance v GGG if the two meet up?

    I can break it down: Golovkin is too fragging big.

    I made a thread on this a while ago and people ripped me for it. I still see it the same- Pac will do a ODLH/Margo on him.

    I criticized Khan/Canelo heavily when it happened, I’ll do it again for this fight. Truly hope it doesn’t happen. The size difference is just too big...

    That was easy & Canelo was only a-200 by stoppage lol.

    I think this is different though. I agree with you but idk I can see GGG looking slower than Alfredo Angulo in sinking sand vs Energizer bunny Manny.

    The only thing is like you said with the Age /Sizedifference Manny hasto pitch a no hitter which may be impossible at this point.

    The Wild card does GGG have the flu if the fight is staged on foreign turf?

    GGG might be borderline shot but what do you think is going to happen when he detonates one of his bombs on Manny's massive melon? Even GGG's jab will feel like the hardest right hand Manny has ever taken.

    Jusus this is baaaad. How many times in Manny's career has he been bigger than his opponent? Always fighting bigger guys, now Golovkin? At over 40 years old now this is a rediculous ask. Only way it's even close is if the fight is at 154 with a 5 lb rehydration clause and even then I have my doubts. I hope this is all just trolling and not a serious consideration. Crawford @ 47 would be the fight I'd like to see.

    He won`t get past GGG`s lead hand.

    I used to rate GGG highly but I'm not so sure after the Brook, Jacobs and Canelo fights. If Manny has enough in the tank he really could pull a Margo/ODLH performance. Lead hand wont matter if Manny still has his feet

    GGG is better than ODH and Margo in their respective eras at 160, in fact Antonio never even fougt at 160 and would have been destroyed at that weight by GGG.

    If khan survived 12 rounds he might have gotten a close decision over Canelo. We also saw cotto give Canelo a very close fight.

    I’m not sure Pac will do too badly, I think he does better than the 2 above.
    I see GGG = Canelo in terms of ability.
