Golovkin v the UK's popular Middleweight Era.

You was the guy who was just lauding up Wilders record in another thread you idiot.

Golovkin is cleaning out the 160 division and idiots like you cannot stand the fact. And he's yet to show any weaknesses.

I really don't know why you come onto the forum all you do is slag off fighters who have more talent in a single strand of hair than you have in your whole body.

A lonely sad pathetic parasite is what you are.

 

I totally relate:good

 

The way Bumlovkin is going , he won't even be remembered like Brits still are to this day

 

Golovkin has fought a v.poor standard of opposition thus far. He's a small, old middleweight. Yes his footwork looks good coming forward, his combinations look neat and his hands look heavy, but he's yet to even be tested!

A young, HUGE Collins, a young, HUGE Watson; both of whom forced all-timer Mike McCallum backwards (nobody ever did including lb4lb kings Curry, Toney and Jones Jr), would be far too much for GGG to handle. They were way more experienced than GGG, fighting genuine severe threats coming up (Don Lee, Tony Thornton, Benn, Reggie Johnson etc).

Then there's Eubank! You couldn't touch him with a jab, he was that elusive; and you couldn't give him free shots the way GGG walks in defenseless - Eubank came in at 180 shredded as a middleweight with the SAME-DAY weigh-in (the day-before weigh-in came in after the Eubank-Watson II tragedy).

We have to be realistic.

Benn post-McClellan had v.poor balance due to scar tissue on the brain (shadow showed up on x-ray) from G-Man's bombs.

The Benn who fought DeWitt and Sims (two fighters way in advance of any of GGG's opponents - DeWitt looked like he edged Tommy Hearns and Sims beat Duran) took short, fast steps and threw short, compact shots; well-balanced.

 

Once again I will ask a 3G fan this question! Who on 3G's resume leads you to believe he beats Eubanks, Collins, Watson or Benn?

 

Even if he beats them or not if he went throught that roster no way he comes out the same fighter benn alone would haven taken years off his career he was one tough SOB

 

Watsons so called skills are undermined by a very sloppy poor brainless defeat to mccallum, and overated by a beating of a raw,foolish benn who even 6 months later was a far wiser better boxer.

Collins would be an easy win

Why isnt hereol graham on the list? He was best of lot

 

Yes, but his chin would never ever hold up for 12 against Golovkin. Probably why they didn't mention him.

 

Graham had a fine chin, though his chin was rarely ever hit. One of the few times it was hit, Julian Jackson threw the best punch of his career to KO him (while being schooled, of course). Jackson might be the best hitter ever, lb4lb.

 

Nonsense. Grahams chin held up great throughout his career apart from the anomaly against jackson one of the hardest p4p punchers of the last 40 years.

The brewer thing can be discounted graham was old.

All that is moot graham rarely got hit. He would be hit v golovkin but not cleanly.

All the British fighters mentioned are known because of their records of wins/losses against all their respective opponents but all are now long retired.Golovkin is still on the cusp to cementing his own legacy but yes he probably would of got beaten by all of them fighters given what hes done up to now.

 

Wow you guys have overrated the British Fab 4 highly here and this coming from a BIG Eubank and Benn fan. Truth was they weren't all that and mainly stuck to fighting other British fighters. Eubank who was really the man of the bunch admitted that he would never want to fight Toney in his prime because it was "suicide".

Benn gases horribly, was wide open and quite rudimentary. He had no ring IQ, never adapted and had a glass chin. I don't see him doing much. Eubank was big enough, durable enough and skilled enough to hang in there but I don't think he would outwork GGG. Plus I believe GGG would constantly chop at his body once he realised he couldn't dent his chin, something Benn showed Eubank didn't like. Watson and Collin IMO haven't proved themselves against any world class high calibre fighter to be considered really. Unless Eubank from Watson II can be considered...

 

Benn threw power punches right through the fight against DeWitt and McClellan without tiring, and not just power punches, but absolutely everything into each and every shot and each shot being tight, compact, narrow and closed. If he had a 'glass chin', he would never of withstood the right hands that Eubank and McClellan unleashed on him, and come firing back. No ring IQ and no adaptation? He ducked and weaved his way under most of Eubank (II) and McClellan's shots, jabbed and moved against brawler Wharton, etc. What nonsense is this.

Don Lee and Reggie Johnson were far more dangerous southpaws than any middleweight since. Keith Holmes was nowhere near that league. Lee destructed Sibson more impressively than Hagler and Reggie looked to have beaten Toney. I thought Collins beat Johnson.
