This, Golovkin is a much better boxer and a far more complete fighter he'll jab Gerald and control the fight before landing some big right hands. Probably go the distance but a late stoppage is not out of the question, not because McClellan isn't tough but I never thought his defense was top level .
McClellan is not the guy you wanna have your jaw tested by. GGG was no doubt an excellent fighter, but G-man imo was one of the hardest punchers ever at MW and had skills to go with it. G-man KO/TKO over GGG.
McClellan wins. Bigger, hits harder and probably has a better chin (took massive shots from Jackson).
He definitely wasn’t no one to play with. He was welterweight Tommy Hearns at middleweight. Just a scary fighter. Power, speed, rangy, accurate with a mean drive to punch through his opponents and get them out of there. And those stabbing body shots?? Ouch!!
He has to get past some heat seeking missiles first my friend. Believe what you will but that isn’t an easy task even for GGG.
Absolutely! People always go on & on about Terrence Crawford's "mean streak" and all that, which I never understood. They should take a look at some McClellan's fights to see what real meanness in the ring looks lke.
It depends on if you think the Jackson that got blasted out by McClellan would beat the Jacobs that ran GGG close. That Jacobs would give a good account of himself with middleweights of different era's. That Jacobs probably beats the faded version of Jackson.
