    GGG.

    Better skills, better chin, and probably better power.

    Beterbiev would maul GGG on the inside. Too strong.

    A prime GGG that's a natural 175 pounder would bust up Beterbiev's face with the jab and straight rights. Artur might not go the distance

    Golovkin knocks out Beterbiev no matter weight and size difference.

    Fairly large talent gap, GGG rolls him.

    Stylistically, Beterbiev is pretty made for GGG. Not as good technically, not as quick, not as tough. In some form of pound-for-pound match-up, GGG does to Beterbiev what Beterbiev would do to Joe Smith Jr.

    Beterbiev very easily, GGG can’t fight when he’s being backed up and he would be getting pushed back constantly. Terrible terrible style for GGG to fight against, hasn’t anyone seen the Deverychenko fight? Now picture someone who is a better boxer, is a power puncher and is far stronger than Deverychenko. See his fight against Ouma for another example of how GGG is completely ineffective on the inside.

    Yeah I’m sure how we might think another silver medalist who is 6’3 would be able to jab and straight right Beterbiev with ease. How did that work out for Gvozdyk?

    In what way? Golovkin needs space to work, and he can’t fight backing up.
    I think of Golovkin as a poor man’s Beterbiev. What makes you think Beterbiev isn’t as tough? I’ve seen Golovkin hurt to the body, I’ve seen him backed up and unwilling to fight at times due to discomfort. I’ve never seen Beterbiev do anything other than back up his opponent relentlessly, even when that guy is Usyk.
    I’m not saying you’re necessarily wrong, It’s just that you’ve made this assertion that seems completely wacky to me. If you could explain or make an argument for that assertion that would be interesting to hear

    Why stop there?
    What if Tyson vs GGG … if they were the same size, prime for prime?

    So Beterbiev beats Usyk, Kovalev, Gvozdyk and Michael Hunter as an amateur but loses to GGG?

    Size and weight classes matter for a reason, even if they include your favourite fighter
