    How do you see Golovkin do in LHW division? Would he beat Kovalev, Stevenson and Beterbiev and clean all those guys away?

    Definitely not, he is way too small and would get walked through with ease.. I even believed that Froch was too big for GGG at SMW never mind these LHW's.

    I really don't think he beats any of those guys

    I think it would be best to see him in with joe smith or fonfara first....to see how he handles a lhws punch or to see how they handle his punches.....I think smith or fonfara could hurt ggg and beat him though

    He won't ever fight there, but I would be very surprised if he did well in that division. He isn't exactly a big MW.

    I agree...which is why I think its funny when sanchez says he thinks ggg and ward will fight

    if ward beats kova ward isn't going to meet any ggg weight demands...and I highly doubt ggg will be wanting 175 for a ward fight

    When exactly is HGG supposed to move up in these scenarios? (Time is ticking)

    I would inagibe that there is even less money to make at those weight classes than there is at 160lbs fighting the level they match him with right?

    [Then the tune-ups/Get used to the weight fights ect...]

    I would imagine that there is even less money to make at those weight classes than there is at 160lbs fighting the level they match him with right? K-2 would never go for this.

    Depends on who he fights, but no, I don't think he'd win title(s). But you never know. I think the maximum weight he can be competitive at is 168. He's not THAT big, plus he's 34, I don't think he'll move up that much.

    No. It's impossible. The guy is 5'10 with a 160 lbs frame. It would have been possible in the '70s, not today.

    Golovkin would be to skillful for stevenson i could see him beating him possible knock out stevenson has bad chin

    I would pick him to beat stevenson by knockout.

    stevenson was stopped by boone a guy with 24 loses and stevens whooped him

    if boone is knocking you out Golovkin would knock you out cold

    Stevenson avenged it and knocked boone out

    did Lemieux ever avenge his stoppage loss to Rubio? did he even avenge his points loss to a pedestrian jr mw?
