    Loses Leonard, Hearns, and Hagler. Defeats Duran due to multiple weight class differences.
    Leonard will outpoint him due to his speed difference in both hands and feet. Hearns jab will keep GGG on the outside for most of the night resulting in a TKO for Hearns. Against Hagler, it will be total war from the beginning against a relentless boxer and that will definitely end in KO in the mid-rounds.

    Hearns was shaken to his boots by Roldan and got KTFO by Iran Barkley. He is not lasting the distance against Golovkin.

    You say Duran loses because of the multiple weightclass differences. But Duran gave an ATG Middleweight Marvin Hagler a competitive fight. And beat a big Middleweight with huge power in Iran Barkley at Middleweight.

    I think Duran could fight a technical fight vs Golovkin and make it close.

    Yes but would Golovkin come straight at Hearns willing to take 2 to land 1 ? Highly doubtful. Both fighters were willing to take alot of punishment to get inside of Hearns. Barkley himself was on the verge of being stopped until he found a hail mary right hand.

    Golovkin is more of a technical fighter who fights on front foot, I see Golovkin winning aswell but think it would be a dangerous fight that he could lose.

    Golovkin is a much better boxer than either of them. Hearns lack of durability will cost him this fight.

    Everyone, including Golovkin would know Hearns can be chinned.

    He beats all of them except Hagler who I favour by ud.
    Take into account same say weigh ins vs day before as well.
    GGG is between smw and light heavy on fight night.

    KOs all of them except Hagler, GGG would have a solid 10lbs weight advantage over them

    Thanks for the intelligent perspective. Golovkin ain't ko'ing anyone here. He might get a win somewhere but I wouldn't bet on it , he fought no one in their class at middleweight and while Roberto isn't a natural 160 pounder he's an all time pound for pound great who'd pose more problems than Canelo did.

    Beats all of them convincingly. He is the sturdiest fighter of all times and there is nothing any of them could do about it.

    Your missing the point Golovkin being a better boxer than Barkley, Roldan is not the point. My point was they were overly aggressive sluggers, willing to walkthrough Hearns punches to land their own.

    Golovkin in his most dangerous fights vs Jacobs, Canelo, etc. Fought a technical fight vs each fighter. So what I'm getting at is that the style Roldan, Barkley, is not the approach Golovkin would have vs Hearns.

    Do I think Golovkin could stop Hearns late after breaking him down ? Yes. But again Golovkin never decisively beat anyone of Hearns's class so really it's just speculation.

    Hearns never beat any good MW. His record above 154 is spotty.
