Who would beat Golovkin at MW, past or present?

Monzon, Hagler, SRR are not the H2H beasts many classic boxing specialists believe.
Out of the three Hagler would far the best. Robinson and Monzon would fare badly.

 

After watching Canelo eat some of GGG's shots, I think he could win 7 out of the ten times those guys go for it.

 

Greb would school him.

 

Greb gets DQ within the first three rounds. Greb fetishists should keep themselves in classicboxing.

 

Robinson was a master of everything in the ring and sparked Fullmer with one shot, but I agree than Monzon is vastly overrated.

 

Greb never faced a jab like GGG`s, he comes forward pumping that jab constantly, not just throwing the jab and moving like Tunney did v Dempsey, GGG would land more jabs on Greb than any fighter Greb ever fought.

 

Poor defence.

 

This.

 

Too many to list.

Seen lesser boxers give this guy work.

 

Are you serious? You want me to list lesser boxers that gave Hagler, Monzon and SRR fits? What kind of backwards logic is this? Current boxers are not allowed an off night but when it comes to guys from 80-90s... their poor performances are dismissed.

 

True. But I’m not sure GGG is quite as dominant as some current boxing fans claim him to be either.

I think it’s competitive with any of the following

Hopkins
Jones
Monzon
Robinson
Hagler
Hearns
Benn
Toney
McCallum
Leonard

I don’t see him steamrolling any of those at all. There are arguments he could loose to any of them on their best night.

 

You're comparing GGG with Monzon, Hagler and SRR, that's where we differ in opinion. I'd class GGG around the Pavlik/Sturm level of MWs.

 

Check out how many punches he slippev and how many shots were fired at him, he was a high volume puncher that`s why he got caugt a bit.

 

GGG would have destroyed De La Hoya.

 

GGG is far better than Benn was at middle, he`s better than Watson was who was destroyed by McCallum and he`s better than Eubank was at 160, both of tose fighters beat Benn at 160.
