    Make a poll and see how many people favour Golovkin to beat Toney at Middleweight.

    A better package ? Toney moved up multiple weightclasses and was competing against elite Cruiserweight/Heavyweights. Golovkin in his only fight above Middleweight looked poor against Canelo at Super Middleweight.

    Canelo a better fighter than Toney ? Please....come off it. I know you're trying to make a case for Golovkin but surely you don't believe that.

    Whoever wins this would be a close one.

    Two greats.

    McCallum's reach and movement would give GGG lots of problems. But GGG has power advantage and his body shots would slow McCallum.

    I'm going for GGG by SD.

    I'm not a Toney nutrider like a lot of others around here. I think Canelo's record speaks for itself although on a second look his middleweight resume is thin

    At 40 years old :lol: Earlier there was being a fuss made about how McCallum was old at 35.

    Ray Leonard`s reach was 74 inches as is Bud Crawford`s, McCallum`s reach was exactly the same as Hearns, Herol Graham`s reach was 77 inches.

    I think H2H if you're comparing them at their best Toney is clearly a better fighter than Canelo at Middleweight/Super Middleweight.

    You made a statement saying Golovkin was the better package.

    Yet Toney beat better fighters and challenged himself moving up in weight and competed against elite fighters who were bigger than him.

    I would say the above statement is more of evidence of being the better package.

    Would Golovkin be able to beat the best Super Middleweights ? Or Cruiserweights ?

    Toney challenged himself at eating hotdogs and didn't want to lose the weight ...

    Really?

    Then feel free to refute each point.

    We’ll go through them one by one.
