    Prime GGG is a hard puncher as well. They both have iron chins. The most likely outcome is the fight is going to the cards.

    In 20 years time when people are raging about a different middleweight people will be posting this list with this inclusion of GGG and possibly Canelo as well.

    so basically a "prime" triple **** was when he fought bums. As soon as he stepped up in competition, his prime was over. ok gotcha

    Guys only stepped up to face him after he started to decline. You have a short memory so I thought I would remind you. BJS was honest about ducking GGG until he aged, that's why he's considering the fight now. The GGG who faced Jacobs had already lost a step with age.

    Had had a 5 inch reach advantage was southpaw good chin. GGG would be a style he would love. GGG would not like this fight.

    different. I think triple G puts more pressure on fighters than Hearns, but Hearns hit harder.

    GGG beats Sibson inside 3 rds. I've no idea why you even used his name to try and gauge what will happen with GGG using Sibson as a benchmark. I can say Hagler doesn't like the right hand, which was delivered by Hearns.

    A natural 154lber hits harder than a legit 160lb with a 90% KO ratio does he? Hearns lost his power at 160lbs+

    yeah well this is your generation I am sure. The GGG/Canelo generation. Fact is Hagler would have busted up GGG. His reach and southpaw stance and solid body mean he would take everything andcome back. he did well when guys tried to pressure him. He did worse in counterpunching situations.
