Let’s imagine an alternate reality where GGG takes risks. A few years ago he goes up to fight Bivol. Who takes this?
He does better than Canelo. Golovkin's timing has always been spot on, and Bivol will have less space to do his in an out style of his because Golovkin has the better (though probably not longer) jab. Golovkin will find it easier to cut off the ring than Canelo. I think I'd favour Bivol on size and speed, but GGG has a solid chance of the W.
Well you're probably right as far as styles. Canelo is not a true pressure fighter as GGG is. You have to pressure and cut the ring against a boxer like Bivol. However GGG would still be at a disadvantage in terms of speed, especially handspeed. Hard not to see a clear ud for Bivol.
