    Pavlik, Martinez, Williams, Sturm, Sylvester
    Assuming they moved up in weight, Floyd Mayweather, Shane Mosley, Manny Pacquiao, Andre Berto

    IMO, Pavlik would be the only fighter of the bunch BIG enough to stand w/Him.
    (Tho G-Man Prob stop's him aswell, seeing Gerald was also a big MW/SMW)

    The guys with strong chins... Martinez, maybe Shane Mosley... Trick with McClellan was to get trough the first 6 rounds, then he was beatable. Only getting there was almost impossible for fighters who didn't have a very solid chin or a perfect defence...

    There'd be a funeral in Youngstown if Pavlik fought a prime G-man.

    And to answer the question..... Martinez is the only one with the size and STYLE to possibly have a chance.

    The rest die.

    LMAO @ Berto.

    Martinez and Williams beat him, the others are either too small or not talented enough to win.
    McClellan gets well overrated nowadays, the guy was a big puncher but feasted on journeyman before fighting Julian Jackson and Nigel Benn. He wasn't as skilled as a lot of people now believe.
    Mayweather beats him if they fight at 154.

    It'd be a freezing day in hell when Paul Williams beats McClellan. Williams doesnt have the power, or the defense to survive vs G-man.

    Martinez wouldn't beat him either. Williams had him hurt in the 5th so you know if G-Man catches him it's over.

    :lol:

    I thought X liked doing mismatches but putting Berto in there with G-Man?

    The other great WWs are simply too small for a huge and monster-hitting middleweight. I haven't seen enough of Sturm or Sylvester to make a pick. Pavlik is a live underdog but I wouldn't pick him to win.

    Williams's defense is too ****ing leaky. It's terrible against lefties and merely just poor against orthodox fighters. Martinez has a better chance since he's more defensive and doesn't leave his head wide open to hit like Paul always does.

    G-Man would be a walking corpse if he made 154 so naturally Mayweather would win assuming Gerald doesn't collapse at the weigh-in.

    In today's SMW division McClellan wouldn't crack the top 5.

    Bute, Dirrell, Ward, Abraham, Kessler and possibly Froch all whoop him. The guy lost to ****ing journeymen and some people talk about him like he's Marvin Hagler.
