    If GGG was American, couldn't read and was an bellend, Pimp would be all over him. He'd probably make a mess of his pajamas.

    If he was American I more than likely would support him as I can admit I have a bias for American fighters. I will support our own unlike alot of Americans who dont. There are very few American fighters i root against.

    Alright... I won't say that's a bad thing. Selective and inconsistent, but sure, can understand.

    Yeah apart from you've got "my logic" from nowhere you potato. That's not what Im saying and I thought you'd be intelligent enough to understand that.

    Jesus no point arguing with you, you won't be able to comprehend it.

    Says the fruitcake that calls Alvarez a "natural weight bully fraud". :lol: Do you even know how weight works in professional Boxing and the dedication involved in going up or down in weight while still maintaining health and performance?. Go watch Golovkin's highlight reels on YouTube, moron.

    Tim Bradley - October 20th, 2014

    Canelo Beats Golovkin, He’s Very Slow

    “I got Canelo in that fight if they fight,” Bradley said. “I say Canelo because Canelo has boxing ability. His ability to take a punch. He took a punch from a strong puncher before. His IQ for the sport if very high. He’s got a lot of skills. We know what to expect from Triple-G. ‘I’m going to mow you down. I’m coming to get you.’ He’s just going to come out and bring the pain. He’s very composed with it, but Triple-G is very slow. I didn’t know he was that slow. I thought he was quicker. When I was watching him fight this last weekend I was like ‘He’s very slow. Maybe he was just warming up?’”

    “I didn’t know he was that slow, but he looked very intelligent in his approach,” Bradley said. “He knew what he was doing. He knows how to get in position to land those hard shots. But like I said, I got Canelo. Experience. He’s been in better fights. He’s been in with the top level for a long time. He’d be able to take his power, no problem. He’s the bigger guy. He’s the bigger guy, no problem. I got Canelo in that fight if they ever fight,” Bradley said.

    I like GGG but Hopkins is difficult to beat. has a good chin can be outworked and will resort to spoiling if not going his way. It's a bad style matchup with Hopkins shoe shining to try and nick the rounds. I think Hopkins wins on points in a stinker of a fight.

    B-Hop schools GGG and makes him look like a novice.

    History has proven B-Hop struggles against speed whether foot speed and/or hand speed. I.e. Jones, Calzaghe, Dawson and Taylor. Speed overcomes skill at times. But if you aren't faster than B-Hop, he's going to pretty much control you with his mastery of distance, superior footwork and IQ.

    B-Hop would literally toy with GGG. He has superior foot speed and hand speed. He'll completely dictate the distance and pace, peppering GGG with straight right hands all night from distance and wear GGG out on the inside. GGG poses no threat to B-Hop.

    Hopkins level and the guys he fought seems higher than GGG. He could change tactics and have a fight plan which won him fights in different was... He was a special fight. A smart fighter with good gameplans.
